I feel stupid for asking this :p

I feel stupid asking this but I guess its got to be asked

I've got a bunch of pages in a folder but I've got the image file in the root directory, how do I get the files in the folder to take their source from the files (images and incs) in the root? Like I say, I feel stupid for having to ask this

 

<img src="../nameofimage">

correct me if I am wrong.

 

Yep, just include the full url instead of just the file name, good luck with the site!

 

if the images are in the same folder as the file then you don't need to provide full address, all you have to do is just provide name in <img src='filename'/>
But if its in different folder then probably the best way to do is provide the direct url for the image ...<img src='http://domain/subfolder/filename'/>

 

^^ yup, what he says.

by the way, never feel stupid to ask anything. it's what this forum is for.

 

If the site design is consistent, you might want to use the relative url. I think it's because of browsers cache or something, so visitors don't suck as much bandwidth. I'm guessing this is for an image of something like a logo.

But you can't go wrong with an absolute url.

 

Hurrah thanks

Now, lets never speak of this thread again.
