Depends on the framework you are working on.If you have ASP.NET context ~/with ResolveUrl refers to the root level directory, ignoring the sub directories as well.

In CSS we navigate to the previous directories using ../. If you use ../../ you navigate to two steps back and so on.If you use ./, you can reach to the root

../ goes up one dir from the current dir.

~/ goes to the dir where you originally came from (not usable in html).

../ references the parent directory.

~/ has no special meaning in standard URLs. It does have special meaning in

  • ASP.NET where it references the root of the application
  • UNIX shells where it references the current user's home directory

../ is relative to the current path of the file.

~/ is relative to the root of the application (in ASP.NET).
