URL rewriting in CSS files

Hello,
Does anyone know how to get URL rewriting on CSS files,
ie. for cases like the following:

.someclass {
   background-image: url('oxf:/images/my-background.png');
}

or an alternative?

Cheers

Mark,

Currently there is no mechanism in place to rewrite URLs in CSS in OPS
(this sounds like a acronym contest ;-).

In passing, you would certainly not use an URL starting with "oxf:", as
that kind of URL is only accessible on the server.

What you can do, however, is store your CSS in a separate CSS file. In
that file, you can then use URLs relative to the base URI of the CSS
file, e.g. if your CSS file is:

   http://localhost:8888/ops/my-example/style.css

and contains:

   .someclass {
     background-image: url('images/my-background.png');
   }

the resulting URL for the image will be:

   http://localhost:8888/ops/my-example/images/my-background.png

This may or may not be useful in your case. It allows abstracting the
location from the context path, but it does not allow using URLs
relative to your (X)HTML page.

the page URL.

Thank you.
