I didn't have any problems, but then the source I got from  
http://www.delphi.com differs from yours. 

Now it's
<IMG SRC="images/banner.gif" ...
Looks like they cleaned it up!
I've had trouble with this kind of thing before,
am not exactly sure what the problem is, but would like to know.

Is it that ./ and ../ constructions cannot be expected
to be recognized from a remote connection,
or is it something specific about OmniWeb that doesn't
recognize them where other browsers might?
Clearly these constructions work with SOME browser on the SAME machine, or the  
authors would immediately see the problem.
