issue for background-image in a td tag

[Adam Right]

Hi All,

I have some HTML tags in a .ascx control
If i use style="background-image" in a <td> tag on that ascx control, i can
see the jpg file on design-time but it does not work in run-time for
master-pages..

But if i use same picture in a asp:ImageButton control like
<asp:ImageButton ID="Button1" runat="server"
ImageUrl="~/Images/design/search.jpg" OnClick="Button1_Click"/>

it works fine.

....
The td tag on .ascx file is :
<td
style="width:202;height:34;background-image:url(~/Images/design/search.jpg)"

>

Any idea how to handle this problem?

Thanks,

Adam

~ is understoos only on server side. Add runat="server" to the td and the
server side should resolve the url correctly.

Hello Eliyahu,

~ is understoos only on server side. Add runat="server" to the td and
the server side should resolve the url correctly.

Is that true for a style tag as well? I never knew that, it would be a pretty
handy feature...

You can check it easily. Use a path with the "~" syntax, get the page
rendered in your browser and view the html source. All "~" references should
be replaced with something like ../.. etc. If you see "~", then the path
isn't going to work.
