背景图像未出现在<span>元素中</span>

Question

I am trying to display a smiley icon in a span tag which is embedded in an list item. Here is the code:

          <p>
            It consists of several tabs:{" "}
            <li>
              Home - Showcase and brief info about what this web site pretends
              to be{" "}
              <span
                style={{
                  padding: "25px",
                  display: "inline-block",
                  background: 'url("smile.png")',
                  height: "17px",
                  width: "50px"
                }}
              >
                {"ss"}
              </span>
            </li>
          </p>

Answer 1

Try This : Hope This Will Work

 <p>
    It consists of several tabs:{" "}
    <li>
      Home - Showcase and brief info about what this web site pretends
      to be{" "}
      <span style="padding: 25px; display: inline-block; height: 17px; width: 50px;">
      <img src="smile.png"></img>
        {"ss"}
      </span>
    </li>
  </p>

Sorry All. I miss led you. I thought that the React processes relative paths to images too, as it does for component files. It obviously doesn't. I had to give path relative to the Public directory where the SERVER serves static files. My mistake. Sorry.

You can try below versions of adding background image

    Import smileImage from “./smile.png”;
    <span
            style={{
              padding: "25px",
              display: "inline-block",
              backgroundImage: "url(" + smileImage + ")",
              height: "17px",
              width: "50px"
            }}
          >
            {"ss"}
          </span>

You can also use ES6 string templates as below to achieve the same effect:

    backgroundImage: `url(${smileImage})`
