scaffolding and image_url

Hello

Brand new here and going thru the tutorials. I seem to be having some image path problems with scaffolding but not quite sure why.

I am printing the line from the css file in header.php and the path looks good:

http://localhost/codei1/system/scaffoldi...ground.jpg

but images that are specified in the scaffolding css file don't appear.

background: #fff url(<?php echo $image_url; ?>background.jpg) repeat-x left top;

Am I missing something?

Thanks a bunch. I look forward to diving in to CI.

Matt
