root address difference href and img src

Question

is there any difference between determining the path for <img src=""> and <a href=""> ?

i am using the same type of referencing to root for both of them and they refer to different places, in this way :

<img src="/folder1/folder2/1.jpg" >

refers to parent folder of current folder and searches folder1 there !

but :

<a href="/folder1/folder2" >

refers to root and searches folder1 there !

I need the second address !

No, those both work the same way. Are you sure your image’s `src` doesn’t start with `..` or something? — Ry-, May 06 '13 at 04:41

sorry, it didn't work too ! as i think , '~' symbol works only in codes that will be used with asp.net like web.config. – Hamid Adldoost May 06 '13 at 05:12

To resolve the second address from the root, you need to add the runat attribute as follows:

<a href="~/folder1/folder2/1.jpg" runat="server">

Are you sure ?! i don't need to process my tag in server side at all !! – Hamid Adldoost May 06 '13 at 05:14
You have to do this for the ASP.NET runtime to correctly resolve from the root. Try it? – IrishChieftain May 06 '13 at 05:16
yes it works, but i thought there is no need to process it in server side. anyway, thanks for your help :) – Hamid Adldoost May 06 '13 at 05:29
