Is there a way to include the web context path in the previous line (not hard coding it)? Please not the the previous rule is in a standalone CSS file, so I don't think it is possible to have: ${pageContext.request.contextPath}/images/ul.gif
There is no run-time substitution mechanism for css files.
What you have described is a real problem for deploying context-independent css files. Most people just hard-code the path, either in the source file, or during the build. [ June 01, 2007: Message edited by: Bear Bibeault ]
