Location url for displaying images in CSS code

96 New Member
For the location of an image in my CSS code, when I use (../img/h_img.jpg), double dots, the image will not display in the browser. But when I use url(./img/h_img.jpg), single dot, the image is visible.

Why does the image not display by the first code(double dots)?

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. .header_img {
  2. width:895px;
  3. height:255px;
  4. background:url(../img/h_img.jpg)}

The double dots means "the directory above the current location" whereas the single dot means "the current directory".

Paths are described using the scheme starting with '/' which indicates the beginning point, or 'root', of the path to the directory or file you are looking for. A name following root is the name of the file or directory, so /myfile points to the file 'myfile' from the top.

If you are in a directory with the path /mydirectory/dir1/dir2 then '.' indicates the current directory (technically the node but let's not go there). While in dir2, if you were to indicate '..', that would mean to move up on level which would put you in dir1. You could even do ../.. which would move you up two levels and place your location in 'mydirectory' again. For that matter, just typing '/' puts you back to root.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
