I am currently building my own webpage and right now, it looks like that.

The goal is to have the wide header background image load relative to the document path:

The container for the Image looks like this:

<header style="background-image: url('../../images/header.jpg');">
  <!-- Header Content --> 
</header>

I have also tried the following way with the same result:

<header style="background-image: url('/images/header.jpg');">
  <!-- Header Content --> 
</header>

The structure of the site is like the following:

My idea is to put the header image for each page into a relative "images" folder.

The issue is: Every subpage loads the header image from the root directory. How would I best go about this?

If your HTML document is inside the "articles" folder, the URL for the background image should be url('images/header.jpg') – in this case the "images" folder is at the same level as the HTML document, so no slash in front of it.
