    Specify a node id in external css

    Hi,

    I was wondering if it is possible to specify a nodeid in an external css file - I have tried the following but I'm guessing it doesn't work as ti doesn't know which doctype to use?

        background: url(<umbraco:Item field="umbracoFile" nodeid="[#homeBanner1]" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>) no-repeat;

     

    Thanks,

    Rachel

    hi Rachel,

    Most people tend to keep css related images (those that are used for layouting) in a /images folder, not stored on doc level or in media section.

    If you still want it to be dynamic, put this snippet in your template (using inline styling), so it gets *replaced* by the document's value at runtime.

     

    Cheers,

    Thanks, I do usually keep my css images in a media section but for 3 particular banners on my website, I need them to be backgrounds and they are likely to change regularly hence my needing to specify a nodeid.

    Could you possibly post the snippet that you refer to above?

    Many thanks,

    Rachel

    Rachel,

    Just put your code in template using syntax:

     

    <style type="text/css">
background: url(<umbraco:Item field="umbracoFile" nodeid="[#homeBanner1]" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>) no-repeat;
</style>

     

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    /Dirk
