all CSS files gets cached in your browser , try to empty the cache and reload the page again and see if that will show the change.

In your "includes/templates/CUSTOM/css/stylesheet.css" make sure to use:

url(../images/some_image.gif)

for the image location.

Have you confirmed the image is where it is supposed to be?

Got a URL to see?

Re: nothing changes when stylesheet.css modify and saved

There are only three possible scenarios here:

1. The image file is not in its correct folder - remember, these files (identically named in a standard install) will exist in the respective folder in classic template as well as your custom template - and any other templates you have.

2. The file is incorrectly named - including the possibility of using the wrong case in the letters or digits, and/or the file extension.

3. The file was uploaded to the server via FTP using ascii mode, or it got corrupted during the FTP process.

(Unless you fiddled with the PHP code), there is no possibility that your php code calling the image is incorrect.

4. Two stylesheets exist with one overwriting the other..

Ah ... of course this is true in the case of stylesheets.

If you have been storing duplicate stylesheets alongside the standard one... eg:

stylesheet.css (the original)

then a few that you're using to "test" any changes:

stylesheet_test1.css
stylesheet_test2.css

... the contents of these are likely to override the original. Zencart loads and reads all stylesheets chronologically.

So, either DELETE unnecessary stylesheets, or rename then to a .txt file type
