Always get the correct directory

I know this is a noob question, but I haven't really encountered this yet or have dealt with it using .NET's RelativeUrl(). I just modified the directory structure of some flat HTML files and everything is broken. Of course I know why and how to fix it, but I was wondering if there was a failsafe, non-backend solution to always getting the correct path for your assets (img, script, css, etc)

Right now I know I'm going to have to do "../../[directory]/[file]" but I was hoping there was something easier that I just haven't come across.

Thanks

you can simply go from the root folder everytime by putting a "/" before your path

e.g.

<img src='/images/image.jpg' />

Have you come across root-relative paths? Basically they're paths that are, obviously I suppose, relative to the root of the website, of the form:

/directoryName/fileName.html
