When using images(.png) for javascript, does the file have to be in the same directory? If it is in the sub-directory, do I have to use '/folder_name/file.png'? what if the file is in super-directory?

If a file is in a different directory, just prefix the file name with a path. The path can be absolute (beginning with "/") or relative to the current directory.

If the location is in a parent ("super") directory, use the special symbols "../" for each level to go up.
