Hi Martin,
Thanks a lot for your inputs. But I am really facing strange behavior.
I have a base CSS which is having this class
..navbar-background {
background-image: url(images/menubar.gif);
}
The base CSS is working just as expected (and as you explained). The
images are getting picted relative to the CSS file's directory (and
not the page's directory).
But when I create another custom CSS, and override this class in that
CSS, then the problem comes. My custom CSS has exactly same class but
with diff path (as it's placed in a diff directory than the base CSS).
In the page's <HEAD> section, I am mentioning the custion CSS after
the base CSS (to override). But images are not getting picked.
Does background-image attribute have any problem with such
overriding??
Thanks a lot,
Nilesh Dhakras

Well, it's mentioned in the CSS1 specifications:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1.html#url
Quote:
Partial URLs are interpreted relative to the source of the style sheet, not
relative to the document

page not the stylesheet.
I've checked both MSDN and W3C spec but they don't seem to discuss about
the url attribute in detail.

news:uk**************@TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl... Hi, Nilesh Dhakras,
The paths should be relative to the .css file. Are you sure you are not
seeing a cached version of the .css (the one cached in the browser)? Try to hit Ctrl+F5 to force the browser to request everything.
Also, make sure you don't have any error in the css style - if there is an error you will not be shown any error messages, simply there will be no
styles applied to the control.
Hope this helps
Martin
