Question

ill try my best to explain this..

in the site.master I have added a logo to the title like so.

<div class="title">
               <img alt="" class="style1" src="Images/logo.png" />     
</div>

the logo shows up fine in all pages accept when the url is part of the account.

for example..

“http://localhost:54341/Sitename/mypage.aspx” (shows fine)

however

“http://localhost:54341/Sitename/Account/Register.aspx” (doesnt show)

im guessing its because it is in a parent folder (the images file).

Is there a better way?

EDIT: Images folder is at the top level

thanks in advance

Try using relative path with respect to root of the application:

   <img alt="" class="style1" runat="server" src="~/Images/logo.png" /> 

Explaination:

ASP.NET includes the Web application root operator (~), which you can use when specifying a path in server controls. ASP.NET resolves the ~ operator to the root of the current application. You can use the ~ operator in conjunction with folders to specify a path that is based on the current root.

The following example shows the ~ operator used to specify a root-relative path for an image when using the Image server control In this example, the image file is read from the Images folder that is located directly under the root of the Web application, regardless of where in the Web site the page is located.

<asp:image runat="server" id="Image1"
  ImageUrl="~/Images/SampleImage.jpg" />

You can use the ~ operator in any path-related property in server controls. The ~ operator is recognized only for server controls and in server code. You cannot use the ~ operator for client elements.
