Hello,
I have discovered the good use of stylesheet_link_tag and
javascript_include_tag (I''m still learning) and it is very useful
because I
have to use the relative_url_root way.
Now I wonder how I can use that for other URLs. I want a background image
for a table cell so I have to write something like:
<td align=''right'' valign=''bottom''
style=''width: 810px; height: 113px;
background: url(<% url_for(''images/header.png'')%>)
no-repeat center center''>
(Of course the css is going to a separate file but the problem stays the
same.) What method should I use instead of url_for to do the correct url
mapping? link_to does not seem appropriate either.
Sorry for all the beginner questions!
Bart

You only need to use url_for if you want a dynamically-generated URL based on your routes in routes.rb. For a static file, you can just put the URL in directly: <td align=''right'' valign=''bottom'' style=''width: 810px; height: 113px; background: url(/images/header.png) no-repeat center center''> Chris --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Can I use url_for then? (Sorry if this is a strange question!)
