background image

[Ruth]

Ok guys this is going to be a stupid question but I forgot how to move through directories. I have a folder WWW for my html files and a folder for images. I'm trying to get my background image displayed through my css but I'm forgetting something. Here is what I have

 

background-image: url(.../images/background.jpg);

 

of course my background image is not showing up. what am I forgetting?

can you please put the full path for an image and try it ?.

for example (background-image: url(www/.../images/background.jpg)

 

Thanks & Regards

I believe the path needs to be relative to the css. So if you have a structure along the lines of...

 

root

-css

--styles.css

-images

--background.jpg

 

Then the relative path would be ../images/background.jpg. Or in plain English terms, up one directory the into images, background.jpg.

I always thought to move up one directory you place ../ before your images folder? try removing 1 of the dots
