I'm hosting a DNN6 site on GoDaddy and I've used the godaddy ftp filemanager to upload my skin & images. The skin layout is showing up but the images are not. Do these have to be uploaded via the dnn file manager or some other dnn method?

My background image is sitting in the skins/mySkin/images folder. I don't see this folder via any other method.

TIA!

did you reference the image in css using relative path from css file?
Images in html need to be referenced relatively from website root.

Ah!  So, "background-image: url("images/bkgndImg.png");" won't do it.
It should be more like "background-image: url("/dotnetnuke/portals/_default/skins/mySkin/images/bkgndImg.png"); "

I think that may work for you but I am not sure it's best practice. If that skin ever ends up in another folder it's broken.

This line...
background: url('../images/plug.jpg') no-repeat 0px 13px;
...is from a working skin. It is relative to the ACTUAL CSS FILE's location.

In this case there is a collection of css files in a folder below the skin. That url reaches up one level to get to the skin's folder then across to an images folder.

Move the skin to another folder and it still works.
Best wishes,

Thanks Richard, but it's still not working. Not quite sure why. I even gave the absolute url and that didn't work. But if I enter the url in a browser, I see the background just fine, so I know it's in the folder. Can you suggest where I might look next to find where the error is?

Maybe it's not loading the proper CSS file? I'm using the line
<dnn:STYLES runat="server" ID="StylesIEx" StyleSheet="JDS2style.css" Name="JDS2style" Condition="LT IE 8" UseSkinPath="true" />

The style sheet is definitely in the skin folder.
