So,
Today I’m coding kind of a little webapp thingy. I’m starting on a basic little nav with icon buttons. I attempt to use a relative file path:
<div class="button">
<img src="images/plus.svg">
</div>
It doesn’t work. Yes, the subdirectory “images” is in the same directory as index.html. Yes, plus.svg actually exists. Everything is as it should be. So, I pull my icons out of “images” and into the root directory with index.html. Then, I re-write the file path (of course). Everything works fine! Then, I create a new subdirectory called “test”.
*THIS is where it gets weird! I put all the icons inside test, and re-write the file path to read:
<div class="button">
<img src="test/plus.svg">
</div>
What do you know? They work! The issue is: “test” was created in that directory and “images” was created elsewhere and dragged into that directory.
For some reason, my html is only working with subdirectories that were created in the root directory from the start! WEIRD RIGHT?
Why?
Additional info: I run Fedora 18 and “images” was created and named in Windows 7. Could that be the issue?
