put your images in `src/assets/img/` and load them with relative paths like `assets/img/img.png` works for me. ---

for me, it works when I use the img tag. but when I try to put the same image as the background of a div by doing eg background: url (’./ assets / img / myImage.jpg’), the image is displayed in the browser but when i install the application on my phone, the image is no longer displayed. ---

Hello, foo is a placeholder of your filename. So yourfilename.scss, from where your css will created, need as far as I know (because I am a bloody beginner on web things) a path, for example for background ```auto .myclass{ background-image: url('../assets/backgrounds/hotthings.png'); } ``` and is in html used as ```auto ``` If you will set background in yourfilename.html you set for example ```auto ``` If you set it to a image it looks like ```auto ``` So depending where you set it und to what you set it, it will look a little bit different. I often set things from yourfilename.ts and here I use the path like in .html will needed. Sorry for my bad english, but my french is much more worser, okay a few not acceptable words and sentence I can speak understandable. Best regards, anna-liebt ---

> [@corinekamlo](#): > > I am French speaking, I use a translation software to translate your messages I would strongly recommend learning english. It’s very useful in programming. By the way english isn’t my native language either - im german. ---
