CSS Syntax Help?

What is usually the right css syntax when you want to insert a background that's in your own computer? I mean, the syntax would usually go like "background-image:


url('C:\Documents and Settings\admin.ADMIN-0BFEA6320\Desktop\P...


background-repeat: repeat"





that but the background wouldn't appear! However, if I put the image in photobucket and use the photobucket instead, the background will appear. I want to know what's the right syntax/link for the css background, and no, I CANNOT put it in photobucket for serious testings, its really not an option so don't tell me to just upload it in photobucket.

The photo needs to be uploaded to your web server or you can add via a link to another web server (like PhotoBucket's) where it is hosted. If its on your web server, you can use a relative path from the CSS document.





background: #ffffff url(images/my_background.jpg) top left no-repeat;





Or on another web server, you can use an absolute path:





background: #ffffff url(http://www.xyz.com/img/bckgd.jpg) top left no-repeat;
Reply:Unless your computer has a static IP address, you can't do it.





If, however, you are lucky enough to have a specific IP address you would use the IP address to your machine followed by the file location (I would put it directly on the C: drive to make it easier on you).





BTW, unless you are using your computer as a web-server or are paying an exorbitant amount of money for your internet connection, you probably do not have a static IP address.





Instead of photobucket, you could try imageshack.
