I''m having problems getting a background image to load in rails.
In my public/images directory, I have a file rightimage.jpg.
In my stylesheet, I have an entry as follows:
td.rightcolumn {
background-image: url(/images/rightimage.jpg);
background-position: top left;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
In my layout, I have
<td class="rightcolumn">
</td>
The dummy space in the column will be replaced by text, so I can''t
simply use an <%= image-tag .... %> entry - it''s going to have
text over
it. On the background-image entry, I''ve tried
url(images/rightimage.jpg)
and url(/images/rightimage.jpg). I can''t get the background image to
load on the page. I''m assuming that it''s because it''s
not being found.
How do I get a background image to load in rails?
Thanks in advance.
---Michael

There may be another reason it isn''t displaying. _Kevin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi Michael, I haven''t followed this back to the original post so forgive me if this has already been covered. Are you able to load other images and only having problems with the background images?
