Unfortunately the tilde reference to the root doesn't help in my situation
because ASP.NET isn't resolving the path. What I'm doing is simply injecting
a string of HTML into the pages via a Literal control - so it's the browser
that needs to know where the root is...

I thought that starting a path with a '/' causes a path to be
"root-relative" according to HTML fundamentals (as used in the following
<img> tag):
<img src="/someFolder/AnotherFolder/TheGraphic.gif">

Am I incorrect about that?
