How do I define image paths for background in CSS?

My images are located in images/gradients/header/bg.jpg and the CSS file is located in global/css/global.css

.headerbg{
	background: url('/images/gradients/header/bg.jpg') repeat-x;
	}

This doesn't work.

try:

.headerbg{
	background: url('../images/gradients/header/bg.jpg') repeat-x;
	}

or using full path: http://www.yourdomain.com/...

Depends on your folder structure and where the files are located.

if you put a ".." goes up to the parent folder of the current one.

might have to be ../../ as you've got to get out of css first then global

That link is relative to the site root. It won't work if it's not on a web server.

Does it know the root URL - either the server's web root or one defined using a <base />?

Also, I believe quote marks (single or double) are not supposed to be there, but that's not causing your problem.
