Directories Options

[CaptMarlinspike]

Sorry to have to ask dumb questions, but...

I would like to put images in a sub directory to keep things tidy. If I am using the statement

<img src="6Queensoutside.JPG" width="85" height="64">

how do I reference a sub directory, say called "images", so that the html finds the picture?

Use <img src="/images/6Queensoutside.JPG" width="85" height="64">

The forward slash before "images" is used to point to the root directory of your Web site ( http://www.ashburnproperty.co.uk )

Got it, thanks Jamie.

Or you can use relative URLs.
'sub/pic.jpg'
You can read about all that here:

That's the best solution online. Just note that it will not work on local files, where a beginning slash equals the HD root.

Unless you have Apache installed and running and you're accessing the files through localhost, of course. But hey, that's another discussion for another day.

Doesn't work for me anyway, since my various projects are located in sub directories to localhost.

Absolutely. CaptMarlinspike, you can safely ignore this digression!
