Best way to use a header include file?

[John Dalberg]

I created a header file to be included in every webpage. The header file
has images that have a path to an "images" folder off the root folder.
However if I use this header file for web pages that reside in subfolders,
I have to change the path of all the image links to '../images/' instead of
'images/'.

What's the best way to have a single header file which *any* web page,
regardless of its location, can use without modifying it to suit certain
webpages depending on their location?

Is this PHP you are talking about? In that case at least header
locations MUST be absolute and is usually advisable.

For PHP, see http://au3.php.net/header
