Hello Im trying to use background for my page using CSS. The image is from another folder and I try to reference her to CSS file.
The CSS file URL is: /var/www/soFit/BO
The image file URL is: /var/www/soFit/BO/images/login
My CSS file:
#login-bg
{
background-image:url('/images/login/login_background.jpg');
font-size: 20px;
}
My HTML code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css" />
</head>
<body id="login-bg">
<form action="" method="POST">
Username: <input type="text" name="username" >
<br>
Password: <input type="text" name="password" >
<br>
<input type="submit" value="enter">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Why I cant see my background image?
just write
when you write /images it means images folder is coming from the root directory of the website. which in this case is not correct.
Remove the leading forward-slash from the image URL, as follows:
By using the leading forward-slash, browser tries to load the image from the web root directory of the domain (e.g
/var/www/
) instead of the current (CSS) file location.Try this:
Using the slash '/' at the beginning of the route makes it an absolute route, not a relative route, which is what you want.
