Hello,

I am using system-asset tag for background image inside my css file something like this.
background-image: url([system-asset]/Images/pageBG.jpg[/system-asset]);
It is getting save properly( when viewed in view tab) and I also included the css file in the proper template.

But still the backgroung image is not getting displayed. Does anybody know why that may happen?

Thanks,
Ashish.

    When you click "Submit" to save the file, do you notice the file path being rewritten to something like the following:
    url('/renderfile/4e089b6b0a00016a018849be0486059c/_common/images/bg01.jpg')

    If not, double-check that you have the option to allow Cascade to rewrite links enabled for your stylesheet.

    You can find that option here: Edit -> System and then "Rewrite links in file"

    Hello Charlie,

    Thank you for your responce.
    I do see similar format for the path when I hit submit as I had already checked the "Rewrite links in file", but it does not reflect on the "page".

    I see other stylesheets I wrote in the same file(like font-size, color) reflect on the page, but not the "background-image".

    Do you see the background image being rendered inside Cascade? Or is it only not rendering upon publishing?

    The background image is not rendering inside cascade itself. I have not yet published anything.

    Not sure if this is your problem, but relative URLs in CSS files are relative to the CSS file itself, not the site root. So, if your site structure is like this:

    /images/
           pic1.jpg
           pic2.jpg
    
    /css/
           style.css
    

    Then image URLs in your style.css file would need to be ../images/pic1.jpg, etc., -- not /images/pic1.jpg

    My issue has been resolved, I actually had a typo in the heading tag of my css. It was "#body" insted of "body".
    Thank you Brent and Charlie for your help.
