Setting a background image via CSS

Alan Isaacson asked on January 5, 2016 13:06

I have a page which needs to display an image from a media library. I would prefer to set the image as a background image if possible. In the web part properties if I enter as part of an html envelope then nothing appears

<div class="clinImage" style="background-image:url({%# IllustrationImageFromMediaLibrary %});">

I can get the image to appear on the page but not as a background image if I use

<img src="{% IllustrationImageFromMediaLibrary %}" />

Any ideas on the best way to call in IllustrationImageFromMediaLibrary as a background image. Once I have done this I can then add other HTML elements for rollovers etc

Hi,

It should work if you remove the #-sign.

so:

<div class="clinImage" style="background-image:url({% IllustrationImageFromMediaLibrary %});">

Greets,

David
