How can a css in a folder read a pics in another folder

/Jorntk/:

I have css in a folder name css. so how can this .css file read a pics file
from another folder eg, pics/a.jpg.

Both css folder and pics folder are located in a folder named project.

I know i can call the pic by url(project/pic/a.jpg)

If the above statement is placed in a "project/css/the.css" file
(for example) the URI for the "a.jpg" would resolve to
"project/css/project/pic/a.jpg". You should use 'url(../pic/a.jpg)'
if you have:

project/
css/the.css
pic/a.jpg

<http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#uri>:

For CSS style sheets, the base URI is that of the style sheet, not
that of the source document.

Two ways:

1. Use relative links. Back out of a folder using ../ into the parent, the
append the new name onto the end of it.

e.g. Given some files located at:

/an/example/here.test
/an/other/example.test

The first one (here.test) could refer to the second (example.test)
with a link like "../other/example.test".

2. Use absolute links. All links include the full path to the destination,
starting with a slash / to indicate the root.

e.g. Given those same files as before, they'd each have links using the
full path to the other. The first would refer to the second with a link
like "/an/other/example.test".

Depending on what you mean by changing a folder name, you're in for a hard
time. If you rename things, you've got to make quite a lot of changes on
anything else that referred to it.
