CSS - Background/Background-image property
|
I wanted to set the bg of my page via css and it works when i included in the page something like (Note it's mistyped):
>style=text/css<
background-image: url(url)/background: url(url);
>/style<
and it works fine, but when I put the code in an external .css file it won't. I tried putting different properties in that file like background-color and the result is visible on the page. Just wondering why background-image/background didn't. By the way I have tried both IE6 and Firefox so it's not a browser issue. :-) Thanks.

could be the relative paths. instead of "images/background.jpg" try "http://mydomain.com/images/background.jpg"

yes! i does work. after examining why it won't i just found out that the base path was replaced by the path where the .css file resides... i wonder why? base path should be constant right? hontou ni arigatou gozaimasu, it did bugged me for a while :-)

| That's how it always is when you do external CSS. It actually makes your life much easier since you can just put all the images you want for your layout with the stylesheet and just take it from there instead of putting your layout stuff in your root directory where other files will also be. |

Yeah, i understand that for structure.. now my question is why would the root directory shift to something like /root/css/... when i access the .css file so i do have to put something like ../images/picture.jpg to access the actual picture... instead of putting /root/images/picture.jpg, i do have to go up one directory ../images/picture.jpg inside the .css file :-)
