Hi Shimon,
Welcome to the MSDN newsgroup.
From your description, I understand that you're using the theme in one of
your ASP.NET 2.0 web application. Also, the theme include a css style sheet
and one of the classes in it use a background image, however, you're
suffering problems on how to make the actual page resolve the relative url
in css style sheet correctly(no matter what folder hierarchy are they
located), correct?
Based on my research, this is a difficult problem because the ASP.NET
Theme/skin setting mostly apply on server control's control tag and the
attributes, and the theme folder specific path also only appliable to
server control's image attributes. For normal css style sheet, the image
path in it still be parsed by the client-side browser (according to the
actual page's url address). So far we can consider the following
approaches to workaround this problem when using style sheet (css) that
using relative url path:
1. We can consider use IIS site specific absolute path, which start with
"/", this means the path is an absolute path and start from the IIS
website's root. The drawback is that if the application is not deployed in
IIS site root(or the image resources are not deployed at IIS Site root), we
have to specify the application's virtual dir name in the image path also.
2. Instead of using the raw html element, we can consider using ASP.NET
Table server control, thus, we can use the skin file to define the table's
template.
Hope this helps.

Steven Cheng
