I use browser sync and sublime text to test my sketches.  
In a folder named project, I have:  
the index.html file (that refers to sketch.js)  
the sketch.js file  
the p5 folder.

I subsequently made a modification to index and saved it in a folder named draft inside of project.  
I made a modification to sketch.js and saved it also in the draft folder  
I changed these lines in index.html

```auto
    <script src="p5/p5.js"></script>
    <script src="p5/addons/p5.dom.js"></script>

```

to

```auto
    <script src="../p5/p5.js"></script>
    <script src="../p5/addons/p5.dom.js"></script>

```

because I did not want to duplicate p5.  
Unfortunately, nothing renders.  
How can I refer to the enclosing folder in a windows path in a way that p5 understands?

The location of the “.html” file is considered the root folder.

We can’t go upper the root folder, but we can go lower into its subfolders.
