Linking image into CSS path goes wrong path

I am working on the project which is in subfolder "CMS2".

CSS file - css/style.css , It is actually under admin folder. Problem is not the CSS

Images folder is in root directory of the CMS2.

loading{

width: 120px;
height:120px;
margin:10% auto;
background: url(../images/loader.gif);
background-size: 40%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;

}

loader.gif is still not working even I have given the correct path with TWO dots.

Wrong path - http://localhost/cms2/admin/images/loader.gif (how can i remove the admin/)

Correct Path --- http://localhost/cms2/images/loader.gif

Hi,

Have you tried :

background: url("../images/loader.gif");

I just added quotation marks.

Hope this help.
