Hi,

   I'm having troubles with a background image I'm using in a skin. For instance, if I use a simple <img src="something.jpg">, the image shows as it should. No problem with that.

   The problem is when I need to use <td style="background-image: url(something.jpg);">. I tried with url('something.jpg'); (note the apostrophes). I need the background image, because I'm then placing text on top of it, which I cannot do by using a simple <img> tag.

   It does render when I see it in the HTML I'm building, but not after I upload it to DNN. Looking at the source code after it renders in DNN, I notice that the src property of the <img> tag has changed to the path DNN uses, but the url() function for the background-image style doesn't. It only shows the name of the file as I wrote it, which is originally the same for the <img> and both are in the same path as the HTML file, but it doesn't add the DNN path.

Any ideas?

I assume, the problem is the image path, be aware, that the skin is running as part of default.aspx at site root folder and you need to include skinpath to access images uploaded with the skin.
