title: Path to my media file won't work in django project
body: <p>I've tried to put my site that I've designed into django, and I've encountered some problemes with paths to my media file in css and javascript but now my css paths work but my javascripts file don't.
  Thanks in advance for any help provided!</p>
  
  <p>I've tried to change my STATIC_URL and all but it didn't work. it seems like django is changing my path for no reason.</p>
  
  <p>WORKING:
  How I wrote my Path into css (works.css in my project)</p>
  
  <pre><code>@font-face { font-family: gameboy; src: url('media/font/gameboy.ttf'); }
  background-image: url('media/gif/drive3.gif');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>NOT WORKING:
  How I wrote my Path into javascript (works.js in my project)</p>
  
  <pre><code>var pic1 = 'media/picture/travis.jpg';
  var pic2 = 'media/picture/snoop.jpg';
  var pic3 = 'media/gif/vash.gif';
  var pic4 = 'media/picture/snoop.jpg';
  
  </code></pre>
