Problem with CSS images when referenced from HTTPs

[joemathis]

Hello,

looking for some help with images referenced within the stylesheet. I have no problems with these from non secure locations within the site only from https. The stylesheet loads fine and displays everything correctly except for the images.

example:

body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background: url(/img/background_tile.gif) top left repeat-x;
text-align: center;
background-color: #fff;
}

I have tried to remove the first backslash before the directory (i.e. "img/background_tile.gif") but find that the image does not load any where at that point.

Any clues?

Thanks,

Joe

Without knowing the path structure and setup of ssl, there is not much help anyone can provide. Most likely you just need to tweak the path so that it works for both ssl and non-ssl images.

I find that all HTTPS Problems with images disappear when you reference the complete path. https://www.yourname.com/images/yourimage.gif Same thing goes for flash or external scripts. Also make sure you are using https in your path, and that you are using the correct name for your cert https://www.yourname.com or https://yourname.com depending on how your cert reads. I think there is a way to have both work, but my workaround is to 301 redirect all traffic to the right name.
