How do you output a field in head > style

I have a field called "background" - for a page background.

In the template I am trying to do this:

<%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/masterpages/Master.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>

<asp:content ContentPlaceHolderId="cphHead" runat="server">
  <style type="text/css">
    #content {
      background: url('<%=VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute(<umbraco:Item field="background" runat="server" />)%>');
    }
  </style>
</asp:content>

But it doesn't like it. Anyone know how do to this?

Hi Hardi

The background property is this a upload field?

Could you try this snippet:

<%@MasterLanguage="C#"MasterPageFile="/masterpages/Master.master"AutoEventWireup="true" %>

<asp:content ContentPlaceHolderId="cphHead"runat="server">
  <styletype="text/css">
    #content {
      background: url(<umbraco:Item field="background" runat="server" />);
    }
  </style>
</asp:content>

Yes, thanks Kim, sorry forgot to mention it is an Upload field.

Your code produces this
```
background: url(~/media/15/about-cooper-street.jpg);
```

Here is the solution

<%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/masterpages/Master.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="umbraco" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="umbraco.presentation" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory" %>

<asp:content ContentPlaceHolderId="cphHead" runat="server">
  <style type="text/css">
    #content {
      background-image: url('<%=VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute(Node.GetCurrent().GetProperty("background").Value)%>');
    }
  </style>
</asp:content>
