I'm working on a web project, and whilst testing with our server I ran into an error. Whilst testing using localhost, everything works fine. However when I upload it on a server using a WAR file, the background images don't show. Using dev-tools (network) i figured out that the images cannot be found. The images are in the same folder as the others (which have been loaded in using the JSP-page, not the css page).
<td class="edit"></td>
That's how the html tag looks like.
And below follows the CSS.
.edit a{background:url("/pic/Editing-Edit-icon.png") no-repeat #B9B9B9;}
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: the problem is that the server asks for these pictures from the server: server/pic, instead it should search for server/TestVx.x/pic

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'm really confused as to why my browser is not updating my CSS? I've viewed it on other computers/browsers and cleared the cache but the CSS doesn't seem to update in the browser even if it is already updated via FTP.
Here's the link to the github environment that displays correctly:
https://melvinalvarez.github.io/archive2.0/
Here's the link to the url where it doesn't show the changes:
https://www.melvinalvarez.com/
the "image.css" file is not updating in the browser even if it looks updated in the FTP?
What could be the problem? I updated the files together with my index.html but the css files are the ones that does not seem to update.
I attached screenshots of the difference in the css file that does not seem update on the browser. This is what displays via FTP (I use Forklift which I think is similar to FileZilla)
image-one
and then here is what the browser displays (the css code that links the image to the blank div is missing)
image-two
Hope you can help!
I found out that this was a CloudFlare issue and purging their cache would solve the css mismatch. Hope this helps anyone encountering the same problem.
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 have a mobile web application (.NET MVC) and I'm using JQuery Mobile (beta 3 & jQuery 1.6.3). My question is regarding the attribute 'data-icon' on various elements. For example, I have an element:
Home
When I run the application locally, everything appears as expected. There is a small circular button with the 'home' image inside. When I deploy my application to my host (Arvixe), this same button renders as expected in Chrome, but does not render as expected on my mobile phone (Nexus One). On my phone, the home icon image does not appear at all.
JQuery mobile is referencing the image sprites in the following manner:
background-image:url(images/icons-18-white.png);
I can verify this image does in fact exist in the proper location, as it appears on the desktop browser, I can get to it with a URL (Desktop and Mobile) and my host log shows that requests to that URL are coming back with a 200 response. I have even connected my web application, while hosted to a weinre server, and I can verify the DOM element does have the correct image path. What's even stranger, is that when I go to jquerymobile.com on my phone, the same icons appear, the problem seems isolated to my hosted site.
Is there something I'm overlooking? Thanks.
I think I may have solved this. When upgrading from jQuery mobile beta 2 to 3, I did not upgrade the corresponding images as well. Grabbing the updated images seems to have done the trick.
Plese place your images folder (which will come from jquery-mobile downloaded zip file) along with your css files.
Ex: If you have copied the .css files to some location named
d:\project\styles\jquery.mobile-1.x.x.css
Then please place the images folder as show below
d:\projects\styles\images
you need to set data-role="button" on anchors for them to appear as buttons with jQM (jQuery Mobile).

this is the only thing I can think of.
The latest jquerymobile has fixed this issue. If not, you need to check the following steps.
check images folder of jquerymobile and jquerymobile CSS are in the same directory
If you put jquerymobile CSS in separate folder, you need to change "path" in this stylesheet
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.
