I'm very amateur in theming. Using Basic theme for Drupal 6, I try to add an image to the very top of the page. (Something like repeating flags here) However, when I add
<img src="images/flags.png"/>
to the upper side of page.tpl.php, the image has proper permissions but does not show up. No surprise though since the image is hyperlinked as
http:// 127.0.0.1/drupal6/content/images/flags.png
I have also tried defining a div class="flags" at the top of page.tpl.php and then introduce the image as the div's background-image url('images/flags.png'). No success either.
Direct insertion of static images used to work on my other theme. So got really perplexed and appreciate your help.
