Reference app relative virtual paths in .css file

Question

Assume I have an \"images\" folder directory under the root of my application. How can I, from within a .css file, reference an image in this directory using an ASP.NET app

Answer 1

I was having difficulty in getting background images to display for content containers and have tried many solutions similar to other posted here. I had set the relative path in the CSS file, set it as a style on the aspx page I wanted the background to display - nothing worked. I tried Marcel Popescu's solution and it still didn't work.

I did end up getting it to work following a combination of Marcel's solution and trial and error. I inserted the code into the web.config, inserted the text/css line into my CSS file but I removed the background property in the CSS file altogether and set it as a style on the content container in the aspx page I wanted the background to display.

It does mean that for each or any other pages that I want to display the background I will need to set the style background property but it works beautifully.
