Web Media Resources for U of L Pages


Information Technology has made available to all U of L web server users a store of stock graphics, and other resources for use on Web Pages. The /www/res/ directory contains files, such as graphics, which can be used on any Web page on the U of L web server.

You do not have to copy these files into your own directory on the server--they can be addressed with the SRC segment of the IMG tag right where they are by using a "relative link". For example, to put a left arrow on your page you would use this HTML line:

      <img src="/res/arrows/left.gif"> <-

This line puts the arrow that you see above onto your page. Notice that "http://www.louisville.edu" was not needed. As long as the "/" is typed before "res" the SRC will go to the "res" directory at the root of the web site (i.e., in the /www/ directory on the web server). If you want to address a file within a directory called "res" within your own directory, you simply leave off the beginning "/". Refer to the naming conventions page for an explanation how certain files are named.
