Referencing images in app_themes on subpages

If you have a template that uses images out of the app_themes directory how do you allow it to reference these images from nested subpages?

/page1/subpage1.aspx
/page1/subpage1/subpage2.aspx

Defining the paths as absolute is definitely not something I would like to do. Is there a way to grab resources from the app_themes folder similar to the CSS method??

RE:Referencing images in app_themes on subpages

Ok in the app_themes folder I have an images folder which contains all the background/header/footer graphics needed for the entire site.

As long as the pages are located directly under the root the template displays the images just fine. However, if I create a page on the 2nd level the images are not displayed because it treats the parent document as a sub folder.

The only solution I have found so far is to tell each page that it is located at the root.

RE:Referencing images in app_themes on subpages

Hi,
what is the current path format you are using? Are you using format like "../folder/file"? If yes, could you please try to use tilde (~) instead the dots (..)? The URL rewriter should resolve the path correctly. If the problem remains, could you please send us an e-mail to support@kentico.com and attach the export package of your site so we can inspect the problem?
Thank you in advance.

Best Regards,

So my image is stored in the CMSWebParts/Custom/Controlname_Files/<image> I've tried both ~, ../ and ./ nothing works for both pages. Suggestions please! Thanks
