body
{
	background: #B4B4B4 url(~/images/Backgrounds/body_bg.gif) repeat left top;
	font-family: Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;
	font-size:75%;
}

It appears from all the examples I have seen that quotation marks are not used in the url designation in CSS pages.

My StyleSheet.css resides in the same subfolder as the MasterPage.master that references it. They both reside in a sunfolder called "Administration." I have used the full path for image files in the CSS, but most still do not show up. For example, in the MasterPage.master I have:

In the CSS sheet (StyleSheet.css) I have:

body
{
	background: #B4B4B4 url(~/images/Backgrounds/body_bg.gif) repeat left top;
	font-family: Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;
	font-size:75%;
}

HOWEVER, THE IMAGE never shows up in the background.

Hello!

As for your first question, I'd go with option number 3.

Question number two, relative to the stylesheet and using quotes is good url('./yourImages/someImage.png').

Cheers!

Designating the Path to a File in a MasterPage and StyleSheet

Chaplain Doug — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 19:17:33 GMT

VWD 2008 Express. Visual Basic.

I have a MasterPage.master file and a StyleSheet.css file located in a subdirectory of my web site. The subdirectory is called "Admninistration."

1. I want the MasterPage.master file in the Administration subdirectory to use the styles in the StyleSheet.css in the Administration subdirectory. How should I specify this in the MasterPage.master file?

<link href="StyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="/Administration/StyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="~/Administration/StyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

2. I want the StyleSheet.css file to reference images stored in another subdirectory of the web site calle "Images." How should I specify the URLs?

url(~/images/sidebar_header.png)
url(/images/sidebar_header.png)

I have a dickens of a time getting the references to work. Thanks for setting me straight on the convention.
