Might I suggest that you not link in this manner? When you link to a  
directory, you let the HTTP server handle which file types can be  
served up automatically. This can include any file type which is  
specified, but typically by default also includes shtml (server- 
parsed HTML), php, asp, jsp, etc). When you link directly to an HTML  
file, your links are more likely to break in the future, if, for  
instance, the site were to switch to a dynamic content management  
system such as seaside or some type of wiki, for instance. Basically,  
linking in this way invites more e-mails from people saying "can you  
please fix this link" in the future, and it removes the ability for  
site maintainers to switch to modern content management systems  
without things breaking.
