accessing graphic file in another directory

[Sandman]

Hello,

An html authoring question:

What is the correct syntax to write into
a root directory "index file" (mainpage file)
so it will point to a graphic file located in another directory?
Right now, my graphic files are all in the root directory,
and I want to store them in another directory, therefore,
I will have to edit my index file if I move the graphic files.

Would this work:

<img src="/root/other_directory/img.jpg">

this:

<img src=".../other_directory/img.jpg">

or this:

<img src="/other_directory/img.jpg">

?

Thanks in advance,
Sandman

You can write a relative link like this: "../bla/"
Which means go one up and look for "bla" folder.
Or "/bla/" which means go to the root and look for the "bla" folder. Or
you can write "bla/" which means go to the "bla" folder which is on the
same level as the HTML file containing the link.
