Okay let me set this up for you guys....
I just converted a website template to drupal. I'm using IMG tags like this: img src="images/nav_space.jpg" height="46" width="180" . The images are definitely located in the 'images' folder, they even display within Dreamweaver, however when I ftp everything and go to my URL those images aren't displaying. When the page loads the outline of the images will appear and then drupal quickly removes them.
In addition, I have a css file that references images that are located in that same 'images' folder. For example the body tag:
body
{
background-image: url(../images/bkg_off.jpg);
}
...has no problem displaying the image.
I just don't get it...

But the issue still hasn't been solved as to why my relative IMG tag doesn't work. Please don't tell me I have to put all my images into the Files folder...
Here's the path:

did you set your input filter to full HTML? Otherwise it will get filtered.

I have full html set, but the IMG tag I'm having trouble with is part of the website design. The problem isn't posting a page or story and referencing an img during that process.
I don't really know anything
I don't really know anything about theming and have been reading around.
I read somewhere what when converting your html to tpl.php not to use image/filename.jpg and instead you should use some type of phpcode/filename.jpg
I can't remember what the code was though sorry.
Here's my fix: Use the
Here's my fix:
Use the base_url variable by inserting the following above your head tag:
...then in your image tags write them like this:
src="
print $base_url . '/' . $directory . '/images/' . 'nav_space.jpg'
" height="46" width="180"...they display now...
