To slash or not to slash

confusion over slashes in IMG SRC

[mike73]

I recently migrated a site from one server to another, both run Linux. On the old server, all the SRC attributes on my image tags began with a forward slash. i.e.

<img src="/folder/img.gif">

on the new server, the images only work if I remove the initial forward slash:

<img src="folder/img.gif">

What the heck is going on, and how can I fix this easily?

Thanks in advance!

btw, I'm previewing the site via Plesk. Could that be the problem? Will the images be okay when the site goes live?

Yep, that was the problem.

Thanks everyone ;-)
