Careful! A prefix of "/" means the root directory /of the server/ ,
which is not necessarily the same as the /user/ root directory! 

However, if the "parallel" site is in a subdirectory, ie starts
at "Frames/index.html" for example:  then the images would need
to be accessed by the likes of <IMG SRC="../Imgs/pict.gif">
where the "../" is to come up one level out of the "Frames" directory.

There's an explanation of subdirectories on the HTML-tutorials page 
of my web-site at  http://www.protovale.co.uk/john/
(This is intended for "do-it-yourself" HTML creation, but can also be
handy for sorting out where HTML creation software has gone wrong ;-)
