My background image is not showing up when I open my GitHub pages. I've tried using both the actual pathway and Relative pathway but results are the same. This exact code works fine in VS Code in the live server so I do not know what the problem is, as I'm not getting any type of error message from GitHub. The picture is of the CSS file. Is this a code or GitHub problem??

Your root directory has index, img folder and css folder. Since you are in css folder you have to add .. to your path to go one level up ../img/background.jpg, this will do the work

My css only works when I open it with live-server. I didn't realized it until I tried opening the file
of my projects. The JS functionality is there, but my project is just stale, just black and white. I'm using sass and live-sass compiler. And also using a map api leaftlet and open weather api. SO please help,
cannot seems to figure out why my css is not present when I open my project on file or in another browser.
I have seen through your file and I think your issue is your image hasn't been loaded.
You have an image of the starry sky, right? You can only see the black and white page with some icons after the search because your image hasn't been loaded.
As you access the page by opening the file, the image URL in your CSS file is the path relatives to the current CSS file, which means the URL should be ../image/night.jpg.
If you access the page through the live server, that URL is the path relative to your host.
Hope that I understand your problem correctly. I am still learning too :)
I can't find solution to load image linked in css. Chrome inspector shows me message:
404 (not found)
and shows me this link: http://127.0.0.1:5500/components/css/img.png
even if I have in my css
background-image: url(../src/splash_1/img.png)
Could anyone please help me with appropriate linking... I can't find answer how to correctly link that image in that folder structure.
UPDATE:
Below in the second picture attached, I added print screen with real data from Chrome Inspector and code and the element. Maybe that will be more helpful. I want to link correctly
ccbackground.jpg
Thank you!
You just need to pass the path as a string in single quotes with the same path you tried first. The .. is needed to step one folder up from the css folder.
background-image: url('../src/splash_1/img.png');
Note: it can be that the path is cached locally on the client side, you may need to clear browser cache to make it work.
Eventually it turned out I had 2 pairs of the same css files in different location. One pair in correct location and the other in main folder. I was changing css files in editor located in main folder, but in index.html css files were linked to specified folder. So even I changed css it didn't reflect changes in index.html, because the changes were done in the same name css files but in other location. I wonder how it happened I had 2 pairs of css files in different location, this is something really unclear for me. Thank you All for your help and your time.
Try this
background-image: url('/src/splash_1/img.png');
Please try below code...
background-image: url('components/src/splash_1/img.png');
i run command firebase deploy in my Project/public folder which contains index.html, main.css and an images folder, my webpage is hosted but images are not showing up in my webpage.
Hope this will help Someone who face this type of issue:
Problem
Images not showing up on firebase hosted website. This problem mainly arise due to some version issues..
Solution to the Problem:
This may cause due to the dot extension format(.png, .jpg..etc) of the image. Changing this will help to resolve the problem [eg. If your image format is .png just change it to .jpg format and check].
Next solution is to change the way you give the path to the image i.e
background-image: url("src/img/imageName.format"); //normal way
background-image: url("../img/ImageName.jpg"); //use this way

Thanks in Advance :)
I faced the same problem.
Resolved it by providing relative path urls
example: Instead of using img src="User/local/..../img/pic.png
use img src="img/pic.png"
where img is folder in public directory containing all the images
Since firebase console is reading your page from public directory,( which you might have created after all the coding done in some other folder)so changing the parent folder will not effect the webpage images if you use relative path of image.
Now use firebase deploy.
Good day.
My structure is like this:
/
index.html
style/
main.css
images/
test/
test.html
/style/main.css says something like this:
body {
background-image: url('/images/SomeImage.png');
background-color: #000;
}
/index.html has a link to this CSS file, but, as the title says, no image will load. But it's connected though, cause the background is actually black, so the rest of the style (but images) does work.
Also, if I write the same style internally into /index.html the background will load.
Also, I created /test/test.html which says nothing but
<img src="/images/SomeImage.png" />
and the image is displayed on that page.
So, obviously, for some reason my /style/main.css can't reach files, that any other file from any other location reaches. Why does this happen? There's clearly nothing wrong with the syntax. I'm lost.
add ../ to the beginning of /images so it read ../images/imagename.jpg
Here's what your code should be:
body {
background-image: url('../images/SomeImage.png');
background-color: #000;
}
Because your image is in another folder (thats a level up than your style sheet), you need to start with "../" for a level up folder in hierarchy relative to the style sheet. So you need a relative URL:
background-image: url('../images/SomeImage.png');
Try to copy webpage, css and example image in one folder temporarily. Then use only image name for url a see what happens. If it works, it will be the image path, if not something else.. possibly position.. is this complete css you are posting?
Initially, it looks like your code is fine.
So how do you know the image isn't loading? Look in your browser's developer tools to see if the image is loading, or returning an error, or not even being referenced. My guess here would be that it is loading, but not display because of something in your CSS.
if you are in /styles/style.css you need to add:
../ 2 levels back to get to the root folder.
So as Rokin answered :
background-image: url('../images/SomeImage.png');
is the way to do it.
To link your CSS within your index file use the following:
<link href="./style/style.css" rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
./ 1 level back within the index.html to reach the root folder.
In addition your problem might also be a file permission problem, I always face this issue when i download images from my email and use them directly.
If you are working locally on a mac:
- Right click on the selected image
- click on **get info**
- In sharing and permissions, make sure that the **everyone** has the **Read only** permission instead of **No access**
If you are working directly on a live server:
- login using FTP (with any ftp client such as File Zilla)
- Go to the selected image
- Right click and select file permissions
- set permissions to : **664**
Ok, so basically, I replaced the not-working /style/main.css with the copy of it (test.css - described in post comments) and now it works. Why is still the question, but the problem is kinda solved I guess.
Same with me, I guess images that used in css must be in the same folder as css file. I tried every possible solution while checking with the browser tool and the only thing that works is when I put the image and stylesheet in the same folder.
I am having the same problem. Working with Visual Studio Community.
I went inspect elements in browser and found that the file directory "automatically" (i did not set it this way) says that my image folder is nested inside my css folder. dont know why yet... so I then went and moved my image folder into my css folder seeing that this is what my browser showed me in the dev tools...
so maybe for some reason when working with css your images inside your image folder should be located in your css folder and not the complete Webpage Folder..it worked.
I am trying to display an image from the /webroot/img/ folder using the following CSS syntax: .template-mainbg{background:#B8D9EA url('../img/bg_top.png') repeat-x left top;}
The image never loads and if I try http://site.com/img/bg_top.png it gives me a Missing Img controller error.
This very wierd since the default Cake icon loads perfectly. Both from CSS and direct link.
What could be the problem?
Thank you!
EDIT I solved this problem. Unfortunately I spent 2 hours to figure out that Dreamweaver didn't sync the image with the remote server. Thank you anyway for all your help!
paths are relative to the CSS document, so it depends where the CSS file is being served from.
In the above example, ../img/bg_top.png your CSS file would need to be in the site root I believe.
The image never loads and if I try http://site.com/img/bg_top.png it gives me a Missing Img controller error.
my understanding is that you can't access anything from "above" the webroot from a browser, hence the message.
