After the change above, the code worked. I went back to reading about the JavaScript standard, I thought that JavaScript was read like an external CSS file was read, where you would have to use the (../) part to link to the image if it was in a different folder one level above the current folder. (as the first line of code above is.) Is that not how JavaScript works? When
it comes to linked images?

HI Brett,

Your directory structure is good. I usually use:
/ Root directory
-- /images
--/css
--/scripts

And you are correct that Javascript scripts should be linked as an external file.

As for linking for images, I use relative paths (i.e. ../ ) while on my local machine and change to absolute paths when uploading to the web server (i.e. /images/some_image.jpg ). The reason why is because even if you move your HTML pages around, the path will always point to the image.

HTH,
Elle
