Hi All,

1) We have masterpage in the root dir
2) if we want ot use materpage for pages in sub dirs, there is probelm to
display images called in the masterpage:

<table style="background-image: url(images/header_background.gif);...
The image will not show.

Any suggestion

TIA

Jerry
 
Hello Jerry,

Use the root-relative path for your images like "~/images/header_background.gif"

Relative linking. I am not sure Michael's suggestion will work with a style,
but you can use relative position in CSS, as well. Have not done in awhile,
but I believe it is ./ in front of the image folder. THe ~ works with many
tags as root, but only when the particular tag's control inherits from
webcontrol and has the routine that finds root path.
