Dear all

Why the following error appear in development.log?

Processing ApplicationController#index (for 160.1.42.69 at 2009-06-29  
19:09:05) [GET]

ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches  
“/stylesheets/images/img02.gif” with {:method=\>:get}):  
/appl/lis/jruby-1.2.0/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.2.2/lib/action\_controller/routing/recognition\_optimisation.rb:66:in  
`recognize_path' /appl/lis/jruby-1.2.0/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.2.2/lib/action_controller/routing/route_set.rb:386:in`recognize’  
/appl/lis/jruby-1.2.0/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.2.2/lib/action\_controller/dispatcher.rb:182:in  
`handle_request' /appl/lis/jruby-1.2.0/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.2.2/lib/action_controller/dispatcher.rb:110:in`dispatch\_unlocked’

Below is part of my css file, it is no problem to display the img02.gif  
in my browser  
#menu {  
float: left;  
width: 100%;  
height: 40px;  
margin: 0 auto;  
background: #4E8CFF url(images/img02.gif) no-repeat;  
}

FYI, my route.rb  
map.connect ‘:controller/:action.:format’  
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’  
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id.:format’

It is so strange…

Please kindly help. Thank you very much

Valentino

use an absolute path for the image file. I think you can use /images/  
img02.gif.
