How to access root directory in html?

I am just beginning HTML and I wanted to know how to use root directory in HTML?

I have a css and js folder in the root directory and I linked it(using relative URL) for the index.html in that directory. But now I have a subdirectory called foo along with the css and js sub-directory's. Now in the foo folder I cannot use relative URL because the css folder is not in that directory.

Do I have to use absolute URL, or is there a way to use /code_for_main_dir/css

Path starting with / means root directory.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/mytheme.css">

As @thesilkworm said,

using ..goes one directory up.

But, using / goes to the root of that web.

so, /css instead of css
