Hello,

New user to the site...I think this site is great! Anyhow...
I am having problems linking images from my index.html to a folder I have created /var/www/html/images. My main index.html located in /var/www/html/index.html. I would like to know how exactly do I link relative paths using the <img src=""> tag, and also the url("") tag for css...I am used to doing it in Windows, but I recently installed 'The Gimp' and Bluefish, which I love but I am having this problem of linking images to nested folders using relative paths for when I upload them onto the net...

Thanks!

You could do it a number of ways. One way would be to give the exact location using a direct link, like <img src="domain.com/images/image.jpg"> another way would be to give the folder like <img src="../images/image.jpg"> or you could define a PHP variable for /var/www/html/images/ so you can do something like <img src="IMG_DIR/image.jpg">

Hope this helps.

I can use <img src="image.jpg"> and that shows the image...but when I use <img src="../images/image.jpg"> it doesn't show the image...and if I right click and use show image...I get a forbidden 403 error...is there something wrong with my access on apache? I used chmod 777 for both the images folder and the image.jpg itself but still cannot get links to images within nested folders on the root of the apache folder (/var/www/html)...any ideas?
