Relative link working in IE but not Chrome

So I have a website at foo.com/vpn/faq.xml which has several links to sub faq pages like foo.com/vpn/faq/pageOne.xml and foo.com/vpn/faq/pageTwo.xml. The .xml files under the faq folder refer to an FAQ.xsl file.

This FAQ.xsl file has the following code:

<div><a href="..\faq.xml"><img alt="" border="0" src="..\images\r_2.gif" align="middle"/><b>FAQ</b></a></div>

This works correctly in internet explorer - it takes the user up one level in the hierarchy back to faq.xml. In chrome, however, it provides as the link "foo.com\vpn\faq..%5Cfaq.xml" rather than jumping up a level in the hierarchy to foo.com\vpn\faq.xml

Is there some change I can make that will make the link work correctly in both ie and chrome? (and hopefully other browsers as well.)

Thanks!

Uri's use forward slashes. Browsers escape certain characters differently, but it's a moot point here because the backslashes are incorrect.

From the spec:

The generic syntax uses the slash ("/"), question mark ("?"), and
number sign ("#") characters to delimit components that are
significant to the generic parser's hierarchical interpretation of an identifier.
