Serving CSS from a static domain


I want to serve my css and images from a static cookieless domain. Now my problem is how to point to the images from within my css files.

I don't want to program my domain hard within the css file, for example:

http://static.com/image.png

I would rather have a variable pointing to the image, so it works for every static domain i use.

What is the best way for achieving this. Should i run the whole css file trough php and add the static domain in front of all the png references. A downside in this is that i have to place the whole css in html.

Or is there another more optimized way of doing this.


Solution

  • When you pull the css from a static domain, relative URLs in the CSS will point to the very same domain. So you can just use relative paths and serve both css and images from that domain.
