GG 66	Monday 22 August 2005 7:42:20 am I'm trying to reference a background image from an external image file with little success. The usual code for this is { background:#E1E1E9 url(shadow.gif) repeat-x;} all images within my html template are referenced as <img src={"photohome.jpg"\|ezimage}> adding the {\|ezimage} tag within the css won't work. I've also tried absolute references for images. doesn't work. This is really buggin me, Any ideas greatly appreciated
Matthew Almand	Monday 22 August 2005 7:54:28 am try this background: #E1E1E9 url(../images/shadow.gif)repeat-x top left; usually if you have placed you image within the site design images folder you are using this is how you access it
