Background image not appearing using css

Hi, when I try to include an image using the'url' command and put the location of the image, nothing shows up. I was wondering if dnn would somehow change the link when it parses the skin.css file because only the style show up and not any images. Thanks for any help.

Re: Background image not appearing using css

DNN does not parse the CSS files. It'll work like normal CSS with the path being relative to where the css file is.

Here is a post about how to do it in the skin.ascx file if you want the path to be processed by DNN

Re: Background image not appearing using css

Thanks for answering John. But my problem is that I'm trying to make an image in the background inside the skin.css file. For example, something like this:

#test {

background-image: url("images/index_02.gif");

}

I'm not trying to use the image inside the acsx file. So what should I do? Thanks.

Re: Background image not appearing using css

If you have an images folder below the skin folder that your CSS file is in, then that will work.

Don't put the quotes around the path though:

#test {

background-image: url(images/index_02.gif);

}

Thanks a lot John. It was the quote that caused the problem.
