Folder References from JavaScript in ASP.NET

Question

Supposed you had the following setup in your WAP project.

In your root you had:

SomeFile.js
Images [folder]

and you had some javascript referencing an image:

iContainer.src = "images/" + s;

You then moved the .js file to Content\JS folder:

Content[folder]
    js[folder]
       SomeFile.js

and you moved images folder to Content\Images

Content[folder]
    images[folder]

The content folder is also in the root of the web project.

Then would you change that javascript to this:

sContainer.src = "/content/images/" + s;

or this:

sContainer.src = "../../content/images/" + s;

I think /content and content/ is the same.

I think ../images/ would do the work

is that basically the only syntax that would work? obviously you can't do a ~/ in javascript.
