Pick images of root folder from sub-folder
../images/logo.png
will move you back one folder.
../../images/logo.png
will move you back two folders.
/images/logo.png
will take you back to the root folder no matter where you are/.
You can reference the image using relative path:
<img src="../images/logo.png">
__ ______ ________
| | |
| | |___ 3. Get the file named "logo.png"
| |
| |___ 2. Go inside "images/" subdirectory
|
|
|____ 1. Go one level up
Or you can use absolute path: /
means that this is an absolute path on the server, So if your server is at https://example.org/, referencing /images/logo.png
from any page would point to https://example.org/images/logo.png
<img src="/images/logo.png">
|______ ________
| | |
| | |___ 3. Get the file named "logo.png"
| |
| |___ 2. Go inside "images/" subdirectory
|
|
|____ 1. Go to the root folder
The relative reference would be
<img src="../images/logo.png">
If you know the location relative to the root of the server, that may be simplest approach for an app with a complex nested directory hierarchy - it would be the same from all folders.
For example, if your directory tree depicted in your question is relative to the root of the server, then index.html and sub_folder/sub.html would both use:
<img src="/images/logo.png">
If the images folder is instead in the root of an application like foo
below the server root (e.g. http://www.example.com/foo
), then index.html (http://www.example.com/foo/index.html
) e.g and sub_folder/sub.html (http://www.example.com/foo/sub_folder/sub.html
) both use:
<img src="/foo/images/logo.png">
