Solution 1

Relative paths are always the work of the devil. Clearly your root is different, so the relative path breaks ( or the image is not there ). Use absolute paths.

STOP USING RELATIVE PATHS. Use absolute paths. ie. DO NOT USE "../../whatever/yourfile.gif" syntax, use "/whatever/yourfile.gif" instead.

Solution 2

Hi,

Try this.

CSS

background-image:url('~/Content/themes/base/images/redback.jpg');

This may resolve your problem.

Thanks

Yes I am understanding your problem. As I am saying you just try that at your code.
Or else if you have fire bug installed in firefox then check for the file path of the image and Do your R&D to findout your actual path of the image. If still not able to produce then I will show you a different way.

Instead of saying over and over 'it's not working', try to understand what you're doing, don't act at random. Try this solution without the ~, the ~ is wrong outside of code that knows how to parse it, but you do need a / at the front to be absolute
