How to set relative path to current folder?

Lets say I am currently at: http://example.com/folder/page.html

Is it possible to create a relative link on this page that points to http://example.com/folder/ without specifying folder anywhere? (And using only HTML.)

UPDATE: As it turned out ./ works only in non-strict doctype mode, while . works in both modes, so it is still a better answer in my opinion :) Thanks everybody.

Just dot is working. The doctype makes a difference however as sometimes the ./ is fine as well.

<a href=".">Link to this folder</a>

You can use

 ../

to mean up one level. If you have a page called page2.html in the same folder as page.html then the relative path is:

 page2.html.

If you have page2.html at the same level with folder then the path is:

  ../page2.html

<html>
    <head>
        <title>Page</title>
    </head>
    <body>
       <a href="./">Folder directory</a> 
    </body>
</html>

Both of the below seem to work

./

.
