Hello, I had exactly the same problem and found that gifs need to be referenced as "/MyGif.gif". This makes it look in the web root directory (i.e. where your HTMLs and JSPs are). If you have a sub-directory then it might become "/images/MyGif.gif". I messed around with this for ages trying the context path and all sorts of other things including preceding dots etc. as in your examples. Also check the case of your gif file name because if you are ftp'ing from Windows it could be putting them in in uppercase.
