Unable to access ASP.NET Page inside a folder

I am using ASP.NET/C#.

In my menu I have this li item 

<li><a href="/Deposits/DepositsInterest.aspx">Update Deposit Interest</a></li>

But when I try to click on the a tag it just gives me this error

Cannot use a leading .. to exit above the top directory.

Can anyone just point me as to what might be missing here?

Any suggestions are welcome.

The problem could be caused by the DepositInterest.aspx page that you are navigating to. Are there any javascript/CSS files liked on that page or in the master page? If so you might want to check out that they are linked correctly.

link should starts with tilde which represent root of your site or mention your complete address

<li><a href="~/Deposits/DepositsInterest.aspx" runat="server" >Update Deposit Interest</a></li>
     // or type complete address 
<li><a href="YourSite/Deposits/DepositsInterest.aspx">Update Deposit Interest</a></li>
 //             or use asp.net hyperlink
 <li> <asp:HyperLink id="hl1"                  
              NavigateUrl="~/Deposits/DepositsInterest.aspx"
              Text="Hyperlink"
              Target="_new"
              runat="server"/> </li>

Updated answer: If you are adding hyperlinks dynamically then add them as:

 MenuItem mi = new MenuItem();
    mi.NavigateUrl = "~/Deposits/DepositsInterest.aspx";
    mi.Text = "MY hyperlink";
    Menu1.Items.Add(mi);
    Menu1.DataBind();
