images in css

[Sebastian E. Ovide]

Hi All,

I have some images in some css:  background: url(images/myimage.jpg) no-repeat;

the css is in : init/static

and the images is in : init/static/images

the image URL is translated to http://127.0.0.1:8000/images/myimage.jpg instead of being relative to where the css file is located (the resulting URL should be http://127.0.0.1:8000/init/static/images/myimage.jpg). That means that all the templates made by the UI designer must be changed by hand adding the full URL.

Is it working as expected ?

Thanks

I never had this problem.
If the css is in : /init/static/filename.css, then url(images/
myimage.jpg) should translate in /init/static/images/myimage.jpg

which browser are you using?

This is not a bug. This works form me. Either you have a typo in the
css or it is an issue with your browser.

Can you email me an app to reproduce it?

You are right Massimo. The CSS works fine. So we can close the bug as "not a bug" or "cannot reproduce" etc...

The images missing were not part of the CSS Template... they are in the HTMLs...They include images using relative paths everywhere....

<img src="images/pic_1.jpg" .....

and this is translated as http://local/images/pic_1.jpg

most Templates do it as most UI designer do it...

Is it working as expected ?

if YES, do you think that we can change it ?.... say for example translating any relative URL to http:\\host:port\applicationname\static\RELATIVEURL.... (ie. prepending  applicationname\static to the relative URL)... in this way  web2py developers would not be forced to replace all reference to files with URL() etc...

Thanks

Thanks for letting us know.
This is working as expected.
The way this handled cannot be changed because it is determined by the
browser.

<img src="images/pic_1.jpg"

But you can do

<img src="{{=URL(r=request,c='static',f='images/pic_1.jpg')}}"



cannot
