I guess you are trying to work with relative paths or relative urls. In that case, you use "~" or ".." for accessing the parent folders. "~" signs refers to the root directory whereas "..." refers to the parent directory.

So for example I have a directory structure as:

MyWebApplication
+ bin
+ Admin
--* UserManagement.aspx
--* ChangePassword.aspx
--* so on
+ unlogged
--* plotadlisting.aspx
--* so on
+ so on

Now I have an anchor tag inside the page UserManagement.aspx which refers to the unloged/plotadlisting.aspx, then its href attribute would be

<a href='../unloged/plotadlisting.aspx' /> or <a href='~/unloged/plotadlisting.aspx' />

Now here ".." and "~" are one and the same since the parent directory to unloged folder is the root directory itself.

But if my directory structure was

MyWebApplication
+ bin
+ Modules
--+ Admin
----* UserManagement.aspx
----* ChangePassword.aspx
----* so on
+ Other pages
--+ unlogged
----* plotadlisting.aspx
----* so on
+ so on

then the anchor tag's(the one inside UserManagement.aspx) href would have been:

<a href='../../Other pages/unloged/plotadlisting.aspx' /> or <a href='~/Other pages/unloged/plotadlisting.aspx' />

Hope this solution helps you out. If you want to find more on "Relative URLs" then google is the best candidate...
