How Do I Add A Custom Css Image To The Target Background Behind A Given Layer Of Text In Squarespace?

We are working on customising a website for our client in Squarespace (so that they can manage it on their own). I've added a CSS style to the background of a layer of text, but it

Solution 1:

In Squarespace, currently, any ID starting with "yui" can/will change on page refresh. That is because such IDs are dynamically generated. Therefore, you should not rely on them for use in CSS or Javascript.

However, it is currently accepted that block IDs (ID's starting with "block-" do not change as long as the block is not removed or moved in a way that causes it to be removed (such as dragging a text block directly above/below another text block).

Therefore, you should instead locate the block ID of the block to which you want the CSS rule applied. If you need to target with even greater specificity, start with the block ID then add specificity from there. For example:

#block-yui_3_17_2_4_1443109442267_11866 {
    background-image: url("http://static1.squarespace.com/static/55bed56ee4b04fdc6e0dd0d8/t/5752e43c22482e7d77f53e3b/1465050172750/Share+the+Love+Kids+Club.png")
}

If this still doesn't give you enough to get the problem solved, consider adding a link to the page in question, and stating which block/area on the page you want to target.
