Linking the Stylesheet to index.html

In the video the stylesheet is the linked to the html document, using the below code,

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">

Shouldn't the href value be "../css/style.css" ? As index.html and style.css are not in the same folder

href="style.css" would be used if index.html and style.css are in the same folder.

  • ProjectFolder
    • index.html
    • style.css

href="css/style.css" would be used if index.html and the folder css are in the same folder.

  • ProjectFolder
    • index.html
    • css
      • style.css

href="../css/style.css" would be used if the folder containing index.html and the folder css are in the same folder.

  • ProjectFolder
    • htmlFolder
      • index.html
    • css
      • style.css
