Document Extension: CSS Images

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

Hey All,

I'm creating a document extension to change some of the CSS of a document and am running into a problem.

I can refer to images from the internet, but cannot figure out how to refer to images in my extension folder.

For example this would work:

.QvCaptionIcon.caption-icon-16x16.caption-SEARCH-dark-icon{

}

But the case where I want to reference an image local to the extension/server does not:

.QvCaptionIcon.caption-icon-16x16.caption-SEARCH-dark-icon{

}

.QvCaptionIcon.caption-icon-16x16.caption-SEARCH-dark-icon{

}

Has anyone else run into this?

THANKS!

Hi Ken,

You can refer to stuff (i.e. css sheet) in your doc ext. folder like this:

var path = Qva.Remote + "?public=only&type=Document&name=Extensions/YOUR_DOC_EXT_FOLDER/";

Qva.LoadCSS(path + "style.css");

Kind regards

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear enough in my initial post. Your example works great in a .js file, but does not work inside the .css file, which is what I am trying to do. Any ideas how to reference images local to an extension from within the .css file?

Thanks!

Sure,

You would reference them like this:
/QvAjaxZfc/QvsViewClient.aspx?public=only&type=document&name=Extensions/<ExtensionName>/<ImageName>.png
