I'm having trouble writing a path to fetch an image that exists in a different folder. I tried and it didn't work

Answer 1

check the image format whether it is jpeg,jpeg or PNG copy your pic in the same directory of your HTML page then use the image tag as you do.or use adobe Dreamweaver to avoid these linking problems

Answer 2

@Sami and @Jerry, if you want to insert an image, try to use <img> tag instead of <a> tag because its don't work. for the attribute, use src (acronym: source) instead of hreg (acronym: hyperlink reference).

Answer 6

"./" means your current directory. so anything after " ./ " is from your current directory. now you want to access from different folder. lets consider this folder is outside your current directory. so all you need to do is use " ../" to go one folder up. to go two folder up use" ../../"

<a href="../images/picture.jpg"></a>
