I have a question about the following code


<a xhref="././3d_scores/2004_09_26.html">September 26, 2004


I would like to learn more about using the items " ././ "

Yes there is no "xhref" I had to put in the x so the code would show not the actual link.

The problem is I do not know what it is called or how to search of information on it.

Could someone give me some pointers as to what it's called or where to look for information on this " ././ "

It's just specifying the directory. ./ means the current directory. ../ means the parent of the current directory. ././ means the current directory of the current directory, which is, of course, the current directory :-)

So there's no point to putting in '././' as opposed to './'. Probably the HTML you're referring to was generated by a WYSIWYG or a PHP script whose code put that it for technical reasons.
