Background image in datalist

[Simon Rigby]

Hi folks,

I am using a datalist and I want to assign a background-image to the
item style. I see there is no property for this directly so I decided
to css it by creating a css class:

..myDataListItem {
background-image: url(images\fade.jpg);
}

and setting the ItemStyle.CssClass to myDataListItem.

Unfortunately, she no work.

I'm basically trying to apply a jpeg to a background that is a colour
fade from dark blue on left edge to light blue on right.

I'm thinking that maybe I might have to build my own control for this
and override the Render method to get what I want. Any light thrown,
greatly appreicated.

Thanks

Apologies, it was my mistake. The reference to the image directory was
incorrect based on the location of the css.
