It is difficult to know without the context, but I guess the problem is
that your images are supposed to come from the directory `main', which I
suppose is relative to the directory where thanks.html is found. But the
browser doesn't know that the HTML file comes from ../.., it works relative
to the directory where your python script is located (or the original
script that calls this one).

So you could:
1. Change the image locations in thanks.html to ../../main
2. Move the main directory to the sirectory where your python scripts are
   (but this doesn't help if you also need to refer to thanks.html
   directly)
3. Put a <BASE HREF="actual location of the thanks.html file"> in
   thanks.html or in the copy that you write.
I think 3 is the best solution.
