HTML - who knows it?

Do what with what tag taking someone to where?

You have an image that's supposed to take a user somewhere?

no no no.. me explain well not

i have a directory called.. let's say MAIN.. the index.html file is in there.. it has a pretty picture on it found in the subdirectory IMAGES.. and then it links to another page called secondpage.html which is found in the subdirectory called PAGES.. so we have:

main.html
images/picture.jpeg
pages/secondpage.html

both the main page and the secondpage need access to picture.jpeg.. in the main page all i have to say is:

< img src = "images/picture.jpeg" / >

BUT .. how do i reference the image from the secondpage without having to put the entire url in there.. ie www.mycoolpage.com/images/picture.jpeg.. (WARNING: THIS IS NOT A REAL PAGE.. i dont think)

i need to step back from the PAGES subdirectory to the main directory.. then step into the IMAGES subdirectory to get it.. is there a nicer way to do it.. see?

use img src ="../images/picture.jpeg"

added note: use one ../ for every directory you need to go back... i'm assuming it's only one.

Ok, here's a job for ya, Katie and And (and And?)

You've seen the new front page at www.freewebs.com/jdbb. It's a bit basic cos ...well my HTML knowledge is a bit basic. So why don't you use your amazing powers of web design to come up with something a little less basic and a little more.... cool! Like including a background image like this:

I mean, how the hell do you do that?

Amaze me!

I'm experimenting with Flash. I may be able to come up with a nice little flash intro given a few erm...months.
