The Trailing Slash


Ricky55

Recommended Posts

One of my clients has just called to say that he can't access a page on his website. I can access no problem.

 

Its just a static site that uses some PHP.

 

I have a folder to represent each section of the site for example about-us

 

In each folder I have an index.php file.

 

Should my links contain a trailing slash or not?

 

Should I be linking like

 

<a href="/about-us/"></a>

 

or

 

<a href="/about-us"></a>

 

I've tried searching for an answer but no one seems to give a definitive answer.

 

Thanks

Thanks mate. I have changed all the links now so they do have the slash.

 

IE9 though on my clients machine fails to find the index.php within a particular folder. Can you think of any reason why this could be happening?

 

He can access every other page of the site apart from this one particular page.
