Html relative url behaviour

I have a situation where I need to call a path relative to the current url pretty straight forward, however for some reason when I make the execute the url part of the current url gets lost and I do not know why.

In other words I am currently a this webpage.

localhost:<port>/X/View/12345

and in my html I have a basic anchor tag:

<a class="btn btn-link w-full" href="Export"><i class="fa fa-file-excel-o pull-left"></i><span class="pull-right">Export</span></a>

I would think that when I click the link the browser would go:

localhost:<port>/X/View/12345/Export

However I end up with:

localhost:<port>/X/View/Export

I was hoping someone could give some points at what to look at, or why this could be happening?

Note:

I can't seem to work out why I am loosing the id part of the url? :(

Since there is no slash after 12345 it's considered by your browser a file not the directory

In localhost:/X/View/12345
to go to localhost:/X/View/12345/Export

Relative url has to be

<a class="btn btn-link w-full" href="12345/Export"><i class="fa fa-file-excel-o pull-left"></i><span class="pull-right">Export</span></a>

either that or you have to do a url rewrite or redirect for /X/View/12345 to be /X/View/12345/
