Default Unable to see the menu indicator character/image

Can someone please explain to me why I can see the menu indicator image for this page: http://www.wiu.edu/users/ppc102/menu1/ but not for this page http://www.wiu.edu/users/ppc102/menu1/baseball/

My un.items portion of udm-custom.js script looks like this:

Code:
	"right-green.gif",// menu indicator character/image ["text"|"image.gif"|"none"]
	"right-red.gif",// menu indicator rollover character/image ["text"|"image.gif"|"none"] (must be same type)
	"7",		// clipping width of indicator image ["n" pixels] (only when using image arrows)
	"..",		// alt text of indicator image ["text"] (only when using image arrows)
	];
The first page has this code to reference the menus:
Code:
<!-- http://www.udm4.com/ -->
<script type="text/javascript"
	src="udm-resources/udm-custom.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
	src="udm-resources/udm-control.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
	src="udm-resources/udm-style.js"></script>
</head>
while the second page has this:
Code:
<!-- http://www.udm4.com/ -->
<script type="text/javascript"
	src="../udm-resources/udm-custom.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
	src="../udm-resources/udm-control.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
	src="../udm-resources/udm-style.js"></script>
</head>
Why would the ../ make the images go away while the script keeps working?

I'm sure that someone has run into this problem in the past. Isn't there a way to have your udm-resources folder be in a different folder than the html code? I can only get the images to show up when I have them in the same folder:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript"
	src="/udm-resources/udm-custom.js"></script>

when I place my html file on level deeper in the site folder structure, my menus still work when I use this code, but the images disappear:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript"
	src="../udm-resources/udm-custom.js"></script>

In your udm-custom.js file change this

Code:
//path to images folder
um.baseSRC = "udm-resources/";
to this...

Code:
//path to images folder
um.baseSRC = "/menu1/udm-resources/";
The problem is a pathing issue. Using an absolute path (as opposed to a relative one) should solve the problem.
