I would like to know if I accomplish relative file paths of images that are not in same folder as webpage, by using notepad? I have been trying to accomplish locating images in folder other than webpage but can't display the images. In this case (using notepad) does the images folder have to be in same folder as web page. Can I locate images elsewhere on my pc using the ../../ method? Thank you so much for any help you can give me. Hi,
