use of images in extra-css
Hi!
I'd like to insert something like this into skinconf.xml
<extra-css>
div#top { background-image:url('images/top.png'); }
</extra-css>
But I can't locate the place to put top.png.
The path 'image/top.png' obviously doesn't get resolved like
in the XML files.
Thanks
Johannes

I'm not sure of the answer, but I can help find out...
How does it get resolved?
You can find out by looking in PROJECT_HOME/webapp/WEB-INF/logs/error.log

I'm not the one who should answer this but if you haven't mapped your
images directory in forrest.properties,
which would tell forrest/cocoon to find top.png in content/images or
xdocs/images, wherever you put it, then it
seems to look for it in your FORREST_HOME/..../webapps/ images. a local
path like this:
apache-forrest-0.7/main/webapp/skins/pelt/images

No, I'm happy with the formal one: We make heavy use of PDF
output and this seems to be the only place that works.
I am always confused where to put the images: the resources
folder seems the right place to me but the forrest docs
mention the "old" location:
http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_70/your-project.html#images
The question here was rather on how to address images from (extra)
CSS since the URLs there don't get resolved like in XML source.
Since the absolute path works, I'm fine.

That is the formal location.
Did you try the old location:
src\documentation\content\xdocs\images\

Ross, error.log is suspiciously empty.
Firefox (page info) gives
http://localhost:8888/skin/images/top.png
as location for url('images/top.png').
Helena is right, I forgot to mention where I put the image:
It is below src\documentation\resources\images\
Thorsten's right:
The absolute path url('/images/top.png') gets resolved to
http://localhost:8888/images/top.png
which displays properly.
I just need to understand, still ;-)
Thanks a lot!

The place other already gave an answer, now how the url should look like
since a relative "images/top.png" will probably not resolved should look
like "/images/top.png".
This way it will always resolved against the root of the webapp. You
cannot use {$root}images/top.png which actually would be the right one.
