die! die! directory!

Help! I've been beating on a problem all day and think I've isolated the problem to the following line: print "<input type=image src=./maps/map1.jpg name=coordinate >"; If I call the statement as is, I get a little red x where my map should be. In earlier calls to the same directory, I can get a server error, misconfiguration... if I change the line to: print "<input type=image src=map1.jpg name=coordinate >"; I see the image. is there a way to declare the path before asking for the file, or a better way to state the file location. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Hugh
