It might also be a placeholder dynamically filled in by some Javascript
on the page.

Hi David,
I think John meant that, while he's writing the code he doesn't know
what the name of the image will be, or the complete path, so he just
puts a #, with no effect on css (no image found = no image shown). When
the image will be ready to be shown he will replace the # with its URL,
but meanwhile he doesn't stop writing code, waiting for it.

I agree with Tom Livingstone. When someone is writing the code, he/she

it with the correct URL. I do it all the time when writing code for
Menus.
I'm picking up someone else's code and found this unfamiliar thing:
background: url("#") 100px 50px no-repeat;
Can someone tell me what 'url("#")' means?
I'm confused. Why would you use a background url like this for a menu
item?
If you are now talking about the href attribute of an <a> element, that's
something else entirely, surely?
FWIW you may like to know that an href attribute of "#" actually works
as a
"return to top" link - at least, in all the browsers I tried it in.
But that's HTML, not CSS. (Slaps self on wrist.)
