Yes, it&#39;s relative to the `.css`

Here&#39;s an example layout:  

    Page:  page.htm ... does not matter where
    CSS:   /resources/css/styles.css  
    Image: /resources/images/image.jpg

CSS in `styles.css`:

    div { background-image: url(&#39;../images/image.jpg&#39;);


Yes. It is relative to the CSS file.  I&#39;ll add that this also includes relative to the domain the CSS file is on.

So if the CSS is referenced as:

    &lt;link href=&quot;http://www.otherdomain.com/css/example.css&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot; rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; /&gt;

and it contains:

    div { background-image: url(&#39;/images/image.jpg&#39;);

The background will be:

http://www.otherdomain.com/images/image.jpg

Today I had a discussion with a friend of mine and we debated for a couple of hours about &quot;compiler optimization&quot;.

I defended the point that **sometimes**, a compiler optimization might introduce bugs or at least, undesired behavior.

My friend totally disagreed, saying that &quot;compilers are built by smart people and do smart things&quot; and thus, can **never** go wrong.

He didn&#39;t convince me at all, but I have to admit I lack of real-life examples to strengthen my point.

Who is right here? If I am, do you have any real-life example where a compiler optimization produced a bug in the resulting software? If I&#39;m mistaking, should I stop programming and learn fishing instead?

Can compiler optimization introduce bugs?

Well, the following returns what date was 5 days ago:

    $days_ago = date(&#39;Y-m-d&#39;, mktime(0, 0, 0, date(&quot;m&quot;) , date(&quot;d&quot;) - 5, date(&quot;Y&quot;)));

But, how do I find what was 5 days ago from **any date**, not just today?

For example: What was 5 days prior to 2008-12-02?

I am adding an external CSS file and an external JS file to my headers and footers.
When loading an HTTPS page, some browsers complain that I am loading unsecured content.

Is there an easy way to make the browser load the external content via HTTPS when the page itself is HTTPS?



How to Include CSS and JS files via HTTPS when needed?

What I&#39;m trying to do is to count all of the elements in the current page with the same class and then I&#39;m going to use it to be added onto a name for an input form. Basically I&#39;m allowing users to click on a `&lt;span&gt;` and then by doing so add another one for more of the same type of items. But I can&#39;t think of a way to count all of these simply with jQuery/JavaScript.

I was going to then name the item as something like `name=&quot;whatever(total+1)&quot;`, if anyone has a simple way to do this I&#39;d be extremely grateful as JavaScript isn&#39;t exactly my native tongue.

jQuery counting elements by class - what is the best way to implement this?

Okay so I haven&#39;t been able to find a question with an answer yet, so I decided to make my own. 

I am trying to create a 100% fluid layout, which technically I have done.
[http://stickystudios.ca/sandbox/stickyplanner/layout/index2.php][1]

BUT, what I want to do now, is to make the page 100% in HEIGHT... But I don&#39;t want the page to scroll I want the inner DIV to scroll. 

So I believe in short I want it to detect the height of the viewport screen, go 100%, and then IF content is longer then the screen, scroll the specific DIV, NOT the page.

I hope this makes sense. 


Thanks in advance.

CSS 100% Height, and then Scroll DIV not page

I&#39;m relatively new to CSS, and have used it to change the style and formatting of text.

I would now like to use it to insert text as shown below:

    &lt;span class=&quot;OwnerJoe&quot;&gt;reconcile all entries&lt;/span&gt;

Which I hope I could get to show as:

**Joe&#39;s Task: reconcile all entries**

That is, simply by virtue of being of class &quot;Owner Joe&quot;, I want the text `Joe&#39;s Task: ` to be displayed.

I could do it with code like:

    &lt;span class=&quot;OwnerJoe&quot;&gt;Joe&#39;s Task:&lt;/span&gt; reconcile all entries.

But that seems awfully redundant to both specify the class and the text.

Is it possible to do what I&#39;m looking for?

**EDIT**  One idea is to try to set it up as a ListItem `&lt;li&gt;` where the &quot;bullet&quot; is the text &quot;Joe&#39;s Task&quot;.  I see examples of how to set various bullet-styles and even images for bullets.  Is it possible to use a small block of text for the list-bullet?

I&#39;m trying to make a small username and password input box.

I would like to ask, how do you vertically align a div?

What I have is:

    &lt;div id=&quot;Login&quot; class=&quot;BlackStrip floatright&quot;&gt;
       &lt;div id=&quot;Username&quot; class=&quot;floatleft&quot;&gt;Username&lt;br&gt;Password&lt;/div&gt;
       &lt;div id=&quot;Form&quot; class=&quot;floatleft&quot;&gt;
       &lt;form action=&quot;&quot; method=&quot;post&quot;&gt;
          &lt;input type=&quot;text&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;
          &lt;input type=&quot;password&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;
       &lt;/form&gt;
       &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

How can I make the div with id Username and Form to vertically align itself to the center? I&#39;ve tried to put:

    vertical-align: middle;

in CSS for the div with id Login, but it doesn&#39;t seem to work. Any help would be appreciated.

                         |-------page.html


and  how to get the aParent location

thanks


**updated:**

this is right:

    dirname=os.path.dirname
    path = os.path.join(dirname(dirname(__file__)), os.path.join(&#39;templates&#39;, &#39;blog1/page.html&#39;))

or 

    path = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__),&quot;..&quot;))

How to get the parent dir location

I want to write a new file with the [`FileWriter`][1]. I use it like this:

    FileWriter newJsp = new FileWriter(&quot;C:\\user\Desktop\dir1\dir2\filename.txt&quot;);

Now `dir1` and `dir2` currently don&#39;t exist. I want Java to create them automatically if they aren&#39;t already there. Actually Java should set up the whole file path if not already existing.

How can I achieve this?
