I want to call a css from my index.html, and the css is in a CSS folder, also there is an image in a images folder..

I have tried different ways but no luck

The directory looks like this

My_First_Website
  Javascript Resources
  WebContent
     css
        mystyles.css
     images
        mybackgroundImage.png
     index.html

Now mystyles.css looks like this

@CHARSET "ISO-8859-1";

body
{
  background-image:url('/WebContent/images/mybackgroundimage.png');
}

And my HTML page looks this

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/WebContent/css/mystyles.css" media="screen" />

<title>My Website</title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

Right now the page shows empty :(. Please help 🙂

    Change /WebContent/css/mystyles.css in your HTML file to /css/mystyles.css, and change /WebContent/images/mybackgroundimage.png in your CSS file to ../images/mybackgroundimage.png.

    /WebContent under WebContent means My_First_Website/WebContent/WebContent, not My_First_Website/WebContent.
