Hi,
I came upon something curious today. The following code is in a file in a public_html folder. I expected the first paragraph to display a broken image, but both images showed fine. I checked in three browsers.
The only thing I could come up with is that the browsers are ignoring the ../ in the first paragraph since the file is already in web root.
I tried to Google it to see if it was documented, but could find nothing. I could swear I've accidentally added a ../ to an img src in a public_html file before and got a broken image.
<p><img src="../assets/images/image-2.jpg" width="300" height="194" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="assets/images/image-2.jpg" width="300" height="194" alt="" /></p>
Is this something I have just never noticed before? Or am I missing something? :-)
Thanks!

you just haven't noticed it before.
../assets and assets are equivalent paths

Thank you.
Am I right in assuming you meant "...are equivalent paths if the code is used in the web root."
ie. if you are in some subfolder then ../assets/ and assets/ would definitely not be the same thing.
I can't believe I've never noticed that.
Still Learning! :-)
