    Image path problem in user control

    I have a user control called Footer.ascx, in which a background image
    is inserted like so:

    <div id="footerdiv" style="backgrou nd-image:url('Imag es/
    mybackground.jp g'); background-position:center ; background-repeat:no-
    repeat;" <!-- My footer content goes here. --</div>

    This Footer.ascx is under a folder called /UserControls (the leading
    forward slash indicates the root of the web application, same below).

    The /Images folder is directly under the root just like /UserControls.

    If I use this user control in pages directly under the root such as /
    Page1.aspx, /Page2.aspx, the background image shows up nicely.

    But if I try to use it in web pages under another folder such as /
    SystemAdmin/AdminPage1.aspx , the background image does not show up.

    Apparently, when I use this Footer.ascx user control in pages directly
    under the web root, IIS is able to locate the path Images/
    background.jpg from the root.

    But, if I use it in pages under /SystemAdmin/, IIS wouldn't be able to
    locate the relative path Images/background.jpg because there is no
    such thing under /SystemAdmin.

    Now, do I have to create another user control Footer2.aspx for /
    SystemAdmin folder just because of the path problem? How can I use
    the same user control in different folders and have the background
    image shows up nicely?

    I tried ~/Images/mybackground.jp g, but because that div and style
    setting is client side, it does not work. Is it possible to use
    Server.MapPath inside the style setting? I tried, but could not get
    it to work.

    Please share your insights. Thanks a lot!

      No one has a clue? Or is it the case that I did not make it clear?

      OK, simply put, if I insert an image using stylesheet in a user
      control, how to use this user control in web pages which sit in
      different folders with different depths from the root?
