 Netscape needs to know the correct path to load these graphic images. The getSibling function recovers the parent's path from the document location and adds directions to a sibling or nephew folder. It strips off the document name and then the current directory. 
// Get the grandparent directory and append aDir
function getSibling(aDir)
{
    var loc = ""+document.location
    
    // get this dir, then parent
    var base = loc.substring(0, loc.lastIndexOf("/"))
    base = base.substring(0, base.lastIndexOf("/")+1)
    return base+aDir+'/'
}
