I have a folder called "Images" inside my IDE and I want to access this file for my CSS property background-repeat:repeat;
How do I "call" it?
images/background.png isn't working! :(
EDIT: Here's the solution showing the hierarchy. Any help? :)
EDIT3:
I've got this now on my CSS:
body
{
background-color: #FFFFFF;
background-image: ../../Images/BackgroundPatternAlt.png;
background-repeat:repeat;
}
According to my solution explorer picture, it should work but it isn't. Any help?
ps. To clarify my CSS can modify my page properly because if I change the background-color, everything changes properly. The error must be inside the background-image address. T_T
The background images you define inside CSS is always relative to the path of the CSS (if you do not explicitly say not to).
So, if you want to use:
background: url(images/background.png) repeat;
...the CSS-file must be located in the "parent"/root of the images-folder, so I suggest you move the Images folder into App_Themes/Default.
Depends where the css file is in relation to the image. Is the .css file in a folder off the root? If so try "../images/background.png"
Depending on your web-server, pathnames can be case sensitive, so it would be:
Images/background.png
Edit: If your Images folder is in the document root of the web-server, you can always use:
/Images/background.png
As I see the picture, you must try yet another level up, at this path: ../../../Images/
Try '../../images/background.png' if the folder structure remains the same as in your Solution Explorer.

I have tried to link a path for an image in my CSS several different ways but it won't work is there anything that I'm missing?
background:src="C:\Users\simcity\Documents\HTML\Header.jpg";
It looks like you're trying to set a background image.
In that case
background: url('C:Users/simcity/Documents/HTML/Header.jpg');
would be the appropriate method.
Actually you must not use local paths, but else URL paths so for example:
background:src="C:\Users\simcity\Documents\HTML\Header.jpg"; might be:
background:src="Header.jpg"; if your image resides at the same level of your html document or background:src="/path/to/your/html/and/img_folder/Header.jpg"; if the image is in another folder (the folder must be at the same level of your html)
EDIT:
is background:url('path for the image') not background:src="path for the image"
I think the CSS syntax what you are looking for:
#id {
background: url("C:\Users\simcity\Documents\HTML\Header.jpg");
}
How to access images that are one folder above. The background-image does not appear in the html because of wrong directory or reference.
background-image:url("imgs/hours.png");
#schedules{
float: left;
margin-left:10%;
background-image: url(file:///C|/wamp/www/web/crosscafe/imgs/hours.png);
}
span {
font-weight:bold;
}
As said before, and just to make sure, if you're using WAMP you need to access the webpage through the localhost or any address that was provided for that purpose. Accessing through file:// normally ignores most of the server-side usage WAMP provides you with.
That being said, I think your problem is fairly simple. If you are using a framework file structure you probably have the following strcture:
imgs/
css/
js/
index.html
So, and since you're working on your CSS which is in the css subfolder, your URL needs to be the following:
background-image:url("../imgs/hours.png");
The two points (../) tell the browser to go to the parent folder, then into the imgs folder and then search for hours.png.
First of all, you should only comment css using /* and */. // in css will not be treated as comment at all.
For your problem, you should use firebug to make sure that your element which id is schedules have a appropriate height and width.
And, if you are using WAMP, access your website from a URL start with http://, that page could not display a image stored on your local side, I mean, via file://. This is prohibited by your broswer. You should use the relative path instead, and the relative path is start from your css file.
So you can try this:
#schedules{
float: left;
margin-left:10%;
background-image: url(imgs/hours.png);
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
}
and save "imgs" near your css file.
If you still have problems, I think you should paste your HTML on.
If you try to display an image from that imgs directory in other place in your website, does it is shows? If not, it can be your .htaccess file. It might be blocking the access to your images dir.
when my css is located in the root of my website, the background loads fine by adding
background: url(images/main-bg.jpg) repeat;
into the body, but when i move the css into a folder named "css" and re-link the HREF it seems to disappear?
Are you using relative links correctly? If you're moving that .css file into a folder, the new relative path should be
background: url(../images/main-bg.jpg) repeat;
...if the images folder is in the root folder as well.
You can use a debugger like Chrome's developer tools or Firebug to double check if the resource is being loaded correctly.
Try to change path to resource background: url(../images/main-bg.jpg) repeat;
You'll need to update the CSS. The url is relative to the relationship of the CSS to the image (not the document). Try background:url(../images/main-bg.jpg) repeat;
That's because your CSS is now searching for the image in (root)/css/images/main-bg.jpg, you need to use a relative path.
background: url(../images/main-bg.jpg) repeat;
.. means go back one directory.
I am having trouble displaying an background image in my ASP.NET MVC 2 application. Currently, In ~/Views/Shared/Site.master, I set my link to the style sheet to:
<link href="<%:#Url.Content("~/Content/Site.css") %>" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
The image I plan to display is in my ~/Content/Images/Designs.png
Here is what I have tried
body
{
background-image: url(~/Content/Images/designs.png);
background-repeat: repeat;
font-size: .75em;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
color: #696969;
}
Other Tries Included:
background-image: url(./Content/Images/designs.png);
background-image: url(Content/Images/designs.png);
background-image: url(Images/designs.png);
none of the above tries worked. What can I do?
The url inside a CSS file is relative to the location of the CSS file.
So if we suppose that you have ~/content/foo.css and you want to include ~/images/foo.png here's how to reference it inside foo.css:
background-image: url(../images/foo.png);
Don't use any ~ inside a CSS file. It has no meaning.
So in your case if the CSS file is ~/Content/Site.css and you want to reference ~/Content/Images/Designs.png the correct syntax is:
background-image: url(images/designs.png);
If this doesn't work for you there might be different causes:
The image doesn't exist at that location
You didn't specify width and height to the containing element so you don't see the image
What I would recommend you is to use FireBug and inspect the corresopnding DOM element to see exactly what styles and images are applied to it.
This is what I had to do:
background-image: url('#Url.Content("~/images/foo.png")')
If you use bundles and have the directory structure like :
-Content
--lightbox
---css
----lightbox.css
---imgages
----close.png
then you can make a separate bundle for content in subdirectories by defining the bundle in that subdirectory:
bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/lightbox/css/bundle")
.Include("~/Content/lightbox/css/lightbox.css"));
background-image: url(../images/close.png);
In my case I had to back out to the root and include a path to the Content directory.
So even if my directory structure looked like:
-Content
--css
---site.css
--img
---someImg.png
I couldn't do
background-image: url(../img/someImg.png)
I had to do:
background-image: url(../../Content/img/someImg.png)
This worked locally in debug mode (no minification) and deployed to AWS (with minification) correctly.
Also, don't forget if you're using Bundle minification and you use #import in your CSS to still include the asset in the bundle. For example:
main.css
#import url(../../Content/css/some.css)
Be sure to include some.css in your bundle:
bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/global").Include(
"~/Content/css/some.css",
"~/Content/css/main.css"));
No need to do this if you're using LESS or SASS bundlers as the handler knows how to find the files and include them (that's the point!); however, if you're doing it as a straight CSS import, the bundler won't know to include it when it minifies.
Hope this helps someone!
It could be a caching issue in the browser; that is, the browser may cache an older version if the css file. Clear the cache and try again.
use below code
.background
{
background-image: url("../Images/backimage.jpg");
background-position: inherit;
}
Keep it simple stupid.
At all times, try to stick to relative paths with css url attribute.
/* Assuming your Site.css is in the folder where "Images" folder is located */
/* Your Css Image url */
background-image: url("Images/YourImageUrl");
The problem with wrong urls is that css can't locate that image as it doesn't understand the convention used on that url, hence the image is not displayed. So to keep it simple use the reigning relative path approach, and you'll never have problems.
For anyone experiencing a similar problem with a razor page.
You can use your regular CSS form, you just need to play with your folder levels.
This avoids having to do CSS inline.
Using normal HTML/CSS
body{background-image: url("images/sparks.jpg");}
My folder structure for razor
body{background-image: url("../../images/sparks.jpg");}
This Works For Me
<div style="background-image:url('/images/home.jpg')">
AS i have images folder direct in my project so
i used in url
/images/image.jpg
like
<div style="background-image:url('/images/image.jpg')">
I would recommend to just drag and drop the image. Visual Studio will generate the code automatically for you,
body
{
background-image: url('../../Content/Images/dark123.jpg');
}
This URL code is auto-generated by Visual Studio you don't need to write the code manually.
Hope this will fix your issue.
Cheers!
Had the same problem. Solved by adding double quotes in the URL specification:
No:
background-image: url(../images/ic_Chevron_bottom.svg);
Yes:
background-image: url("../images/ic_Chevron_bottom.svg");
I create CHM help file.
For decorate it I use css and option 'background'.
All my images saved in img.
My css setting for header like this:
.data{
width:100%;
height:80px;
display:inline-block;
background:#fff url(/img/bg_fill.png) repeat-x;
}
HTML code:
<div class="data">Hello world</div>
In HTML everything is OK, but when I make CHM file background does not have background.
Why? Maybe path is wrong? Somebody have simular problem?
That's problem with the img path. I suspect img folder is in the same directory where your css and html files are located. If so, try to remove first slash in image url: url(img/...
Well, I resolve my problem in my self.
During in experement I saw next sequence, when I add image in tag img and ny header is show.
I think whem CHM maked program does't add image into CHM file and all path is wrong. When I add images in div which hide - all resources is add and show my header.
Just simple solution is we just need to provide full path like where the image is located like C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\Images...
