Image paths in CSS to support CDN

Question

I am trying to deploy our images to a cdn. Currently the css has relative paths to images on our site. These paths will need to support the CDN image location. Does anyone ha

Answer 1

Probably the easiest thing would be to host both your images and CSS file on the CDN. Image paths in your CSS file are relative to the CSS file itself, so you won't have to change your CSS at all.

If that's not an option, you're stuck putting the fully qualified URLs in your stylesheet. Now, if you really wanted to, you could generate your CSS file dynamically on the fly, and perform some replacement so you don't actually have to hard code the CDN in your sheet.
