Your URLs if absolute would need to contain the web application name unless your web appliation was the ROOT web application (the only one that runs at /).
Therefore if you webapp was called apple and was in webapps/apple, your image refs would need to be /apple/images/ You can use relative image URLs in your CSS OK "BUT" if you are linking to a CSS sheet, again youd need the href to point to /apple/css/mycss.css. Other than that, you can define your CSS styles in the <head> of your pages and then use relative refs to your images, e.e ../images/ Allistair -----Original Message----- From: Kristian Rink [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 28 November 2005 12:28 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: css and images (stupid question?) <FONT SIZE=1 FACE="VERDANA,ARIAL" COLOR=BLUE> ------------------------------------------------------- QAS Ltd.

Within the css file, I'm using images for backgrounds etc like that: background: #fff url(/images/bg_header_blau.jpg) no-repeat top left; My problem, right now, is where to put the images within the web application so they're actually found when displaying the page. Initially, I created a folder "images" within my web application and referred to the images using url(images/...) with relative path names, which didn't work. Also tried to place the images folder inside $CATALINA_HOME/webapps and then using absolute image urls (/image/...), which also didn't work. So, where's the magic? I've always been through some tougher moments with css and images while dynamically generating content, but right now I feel really helpless about that. Can someone enlighten me?
