Naomi,

~ is an ASP.NET control specific feature and it doesn't work in plain HTML elements. If you have the CSS in an ASP.NET page you can use:

background-image: url(< % = ResolveUrl("~./images/load.gif") % >);

But that won't work in a CSS file because it's not served by an ASP.NET page.

In Css files any files are referenced with:

background-image: url(../images/load.gif);

Note the url() function.

More importantly though Url paths are relative to the CSS file (not the HTML page) which makes it relatively easy to reference an image folder in your app.

Note that you should rarely reference paths like /virtual/images/load.gif as these are effectively hardcoded. I'd recommend you always use relative paths inside of CSS.
