Paths not working the same in DW as in IE

I have the following page with 3 images to display:

****************************************************************************
*****************
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<html>
<head>
<title>Intranet</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<link href="../contour.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<table width="100%" height="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
bordercolor="#000099">
<tr height="100">
<td><table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" summary="Layout
Table">
<tr>
<td width="496" height="100" ><img
src="/contour/images/Contour_logo_intranet1_1x1.gif" width="496"
height="100" hspace="0" vspace="0"></td>
<td width="100%"><img
src="/contour/images/Contour_logo_intranet1_1x2.gif" width="100%"
height="100" hspace="0" vspace="0"></td>
<td width="129" height="100" ><div align="right"><img
src="/contour/images/Contour_logo_intranet1_1x3.gif" width="129"
height="100" hspace="0" vspace="0"></div></td>
</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>
****************************************************************************
*****************

If I display the above, the images don't display in DW design mode or
Preview in Browser mode. It does work in my IE browser when I start it from
normally.

If I change to <img src="/images/...">, it works in my DW design mode and
Preview mode, but not in my IE browser.

If I change it to <img src="images/..">, it works in IE, but not DW.

The situation is that I have my folders set up as Contour being the root
folder. Under that I have Images and others. Some of the folders are some
such as: On-Line Help, Reports etc. These folders will have the same logos
and I want to put my images in one folder - the one under the Root folder.
If I set it up as I show above, this works for all my pages from IE - no
matter which folders I have the pages in.

It doesn't work in DW, however.

Why not?

Thanks,

Tom.

If contour is the root folder, then it cannot appear in any link path. You
can see that it does in some of your examples.

You're right.

I had forgotten that my template was in a folder under the root and had
coded the image incorrectly.

Thanks,

Tom.

Are you hand coding these links? Why not let DW manage that for you?

I am. I just go confused when making a change somewhere and the path got
changed and I couldn't get it to work in both DW and IE. but after getting
your last post, I looked at it and realized that DW would handle the
differences correctly (which it did).

Thanks,

Tom

Yes sir! There's no reason not to use DW's link management methods.
