In your css files start your path with slash, this way the images will be located based on context root:

background-image: url(/assets/images/yourImageHere.gif);

This works fine on the server but not locally (if you save your pages locally for testing/debugging purposes). To make it work locally you would have to change the above to:

background-image: url(../../assets/images/yourImageHere.gif);

or something similar depending how you saved it.
