How To Tell CF To Go Up To The Root Automatically

[esfinks]

I know that the '../filename.cfm' means go up one level. But how can i tell coldfusion to go up to the root automatically?

Directory references differ slightly depending on the command, but if you're just talking about links or CFINCLUDE try '/index.html' from anywhere.

I always set a variable for the site root, so I can always force it if necessary.

<CFSET root = &quot;
