So in your render methods do you have code that looks like:

html image url:  'picture.jpg'.

If so the request url will be relative to page path, which you are
modifying by adding the class name.
I'd normally develop using a file library or external file library which
would look like:

html image url:  MyFileLibrary / #pictureJpg.

this generates html as: <img src='/files/MyFileLibrary/picture.jpg'>

which is always absolute from the root.

Have a look with the developer tools (firebug etc) to see what the request
path is

Cheers
