Background image defined in stylesheet doesn't display

Rob Blimploid

application.html.erb is correctly finding the stylesheet for my project
via <%= stylesheet_link_tag 'style1' %>. My webpages reflect the
styling properly with a few exceptions .. the most notable being some
jpg images defined for background do not display at all. I have those
images in public/images.

The following is the stylesheet code containing the reference to the
image.

#navigation {
width: 180px;
height: 484px;
background: #7da5a8 url(backgrounds/nav-bg.jpg) no-repeat;
}

This worked fine until I retrofitted the webpages into the Rails
framework (which I really like, but which I'm relative new to).

If anyone knows the solution, I would really appreciate it ... thanks in
advance!

So, the URL for the images is images/... relative to the path of your
application.

If your stylesheet is in public/stylesheets/styles.css [example], then
the relative path to the images directory is:
url(../images/...jpg) or url(../images/backgrounds/image.jpg)
depending on where exactly you placed the files.

Cheers,

You're most welcome. I'm not replying for you, it's a selfish move - I
just asked a question myself, so I'm waiting for answers :P
This is me paying it forward :)

Cheers,
Mohit.
