Local relative path

Question

I ́m working in a local project (offline) and need show a txt file outside of directory of html. How implement the relative path?

main-app
|
|-core-app
|
|-logs
| |-log-file.txt
|
|-plugin
 |-plugin-core
 |-www
 |-index.html

The file is on logs folder, I need show it in index.html. I try to use src="../../../logs/log-file.txt" but don't work. An example of the code in html:

<object type="text/plain" data="../../../logs/log-file.txt"></object>

• Rafael Herscovici: relative is allways relative to the root folder, so /logs/log-file.txt should work.
• Fusion: In the plugin folder have a plugin that run a webserver for html, the root of this webserver is the directory WWW. So, I need load the file inside the logs folder. I read in some site that in html, relative paths only works at level 2, in local files. Above this, only in webservers. This true?
• Rafael Herscovici: if the webserver is at the www directory, you cannot access the logs directory since it is outside the web root.. you will need to do it with server side code, get the code into a variable, and print it on the html or inside the data.

Answer 1

relative to index.html I think that it should be : data="../../logs/log-file.txt". One less directory shift.

Answer 2

Just change the .txt file to a .html file, and add styling... It works just fine, just add a linkto it in index.html.
