CSS Images In another Folder [duplicate]

Answer 1

When you use background-images, make sure you give width and height too for the container containing the images.

Answer 2

If you have a folder structure like follows:

/public_html/
    /css/
    /images/
    /index.html

Then your CSS should work.

• Starting with "/" returns to the root directory and starts there
• Starting with "../" moves one directory backwards and starts there
• Starting with "../../" moves two directories backwards and starts there (and so on...) To move forward, just start with the first
  subdirectory and keep moving forward
