Actually the definitions are ../img = Go up the directory tree one level and then down to the img directory
And ./img = start in the level where you are at and go down one level to the img directory. If your css file is in the root it could be translated the same if parent directory is disabled (a common thing nowadays), however if parent directory walking is enabled it will not work exactly the same every time. If you know your img directory is directly off the root the /img/whatever.jpg would be best as its always relative to the root directory. It just gets a little tricky when you have directories that might be off of a subdirectory. This is why css defines the path as related to the css file and not the page that calls the css.
