Accessing images in javascript in rails 3.2

Question

I have view diplay.html.erb corresponding to action display in locations controller.
I am using application.js in assets/javascript folder.
I am using javascript function of application.js in the display.html.erb file.
In this function I am loading image but the image is not loaded when used path:
such as "car.png" or "\images\car.png"
but when used path
"http://localhost:3000/assets/car.png" it is displayed properly.

so what path should I give in application.js to access image in /assets/images folder?

I don't want to give 'localhost:3000' in a path

There is no confusion,
you need to use http://localhost:3000/assets/car.png to see image
if car.png is located at assets/images/car.png -that's rails convention.

I found the answer:

using <img src="/assets/car.png" /> when car.png in assets/images/car.png

You seem to be confused with your own folder structure. If the image is located under /assets/car.png then you should probably use 'assets' instead of 'images' in your path. Doesn't this work?

<img src="/assets/car.png" />

But if the image is under /assets/images/car.png then it would rather be:

<img src="/assets/images/car.png" />
