Question

Image not found

Whenever I rollover the url it says image not found.  Doesn't matter how I select the image (site root, document, brown, manually).  I have the proper site root, it just won't link.

#cover {

background: #222 url(/../img/stars.jpg) center center no-repeat;

background-size: cover;

color: white;

height: 100%;

text-align: center;

}

I REALLY hate this program.

    }

    I also have to restart the program every time I add a style sheet to get itvto link.  I don't change a thing, but it magically appears after restart.

    actually none of those examples worked.  The one I posted was just one of 4 attempts.  You'd think that if you select the image using dreamweavers own browse function it would actually work.

    HATE dreamweaver.

    HATE dreamweaver.

    Just like I HATE hammers. They never drive the nail straight into the timber. People have often told me what to do, but it never works.

    Right - because there never has been a hammer that was poorly designed, unbalanced, with a rounded off head that made the job more difficult than need be had the hammer been designed properly with the user in mind.  Great analogy. 

    HATE dreamweaver.

    A knowledge of HTML and CSS is required to use Dreamweaver. That way you would have noticed that the problem was with your link

    /../img/stars.jpg

    which should have been

    ../img/stars.jpg

    or

    /img/stars.jpg

    The first points to the img directory, one up from where the style rules are; the latter points to an img as a sub from the root directory.
