Hi, I have a specific question about this project that is really bugging me and I can’t find the issue. I can get all of my images to work using relative paths EXCEPT when using the background-image property in CSS. In the code below, I commented out the background-image property in index.css that uses the absolute path (which works) because I have been trying to find a solution to why it won’t work when I use a relative path. I would love if someone could tell me what I did wrong!
Also, any other suggestions are welcome!

EDIT:
I don’t know why it is not displaying the beginning of my html document when I paste it in but this is the head:
ANOTHER EDIT:
After two days of searching online I finally figured it out. it needed to be
background-image: url(“…/Images/pattern.jpeg”); and NOT background-image: url(“/Resources/Images/pattern.jpeg”);
Any and all feedback is still appreciated!
