../.. means two levels up in the directory hierarchy. .. is one level up.

Assuming your jquery.js file is in the libs folder, you want ../../jquery.js. The ../.. moves you up two levels from index.html: to src then libs. Since you're in the libs directory at that point, you can do /jquery.js to reference jQuery.

In this context the '..' characters means up one folder. If you want to get to your jQuery file you would need it in your folder structure somewhere and access it at the right place.

../jQuery.js means the file jQuery.js in the previous (parent) directory. So a not found means that the file isn't in the libs folder. In Unix, ../ means the previous folder and you can go back as many folders as you want, so ../../ means 2 parents folders and so on. Hope that helps
