using / to indicate root directory

This is probably a stupid question, but its hard to search for effectively. I am have defined the following:

<img src='/images/image_name.ico' />

This properly creates the path to the root directory then the images directory in all of the browsers I have tested, including IE10, but IE9 will not get the path right. Is there a known problem with using / to indicate the site root with IE 9? I just get a broken image even though the file exists at that path.

No. There are no known issues with IE's ability to resolve root relative URIs.

The usual debug steps you should take are: Check your server logs and browser debug tools to see what is actually being requested, if the request was successful, and if the correct content-type is being specified. Make sure the image file is OK. Check the browser can resolve the URL and open the image directly (without going through a webpage).
