[TYPO3-english] IMG_RESOURCE from RECORDS within CSS (seminars extension)

[Janosch Skrobek]

Hi, 

thanks for your reply, I will definetly look into the font-face option.

Still, although this solves my problem I would love to know why my script
doesn’t work. Can anyone hint me to it? I mean, I do get the correct path
output in my lib but why can't I include it in my CSS Page type? Would
really appreciate any help to get a better understanding of how TS works. 

Thanks
Regards 
Janosch
