    what you need to know about SilverStripe is that it reads your templates, and outputs them.
    So if you have the url mysite.com/home then it will look like the file is located inside the folder /home, if your url is mysite.com/page/subpage it will appear as if the folder was /page/subpage

    this means you can NOT use relative paths like “../images/sprites.jpg” in templates (you can use those in css though).

    as @Mark has already mentioned in a comment, the way to go is using $ThemeDirm which will output the path to the theme folder, so your image should look like this: <img src="$ThemeDir/images/sprites.jpg" />
