accessing images in the /public directory..

rubyonrails-talk

i am taking a style that someone else put together, and have a simple question..

the page is currently buried in the site, along with its images.. i moved the images to /public/images

the only problem i have is..

how do i access those files in this case...

<div id="headerTop" style="background:url('images/header_bg.gif'); height:60px;">

how do i encode the style attribute to access the images directory in the public directory?

thanks!

background:url('/images/header_bg.gif'); Note the initial / to make the path from your document root absolute.
