CSS variable in background image

Question

I am defining css variable like

<style type="text/css">
      @variables {
        static:{{STATIC_ROOT_PATH}};
      }
    </style>

I want to use this variable while framing image path. Is it possible something like

background: transparent url('var(static)/images/button_bg.png')

This code is not working for me.

How can I frame image path based on static value ?

Note that this would be a potential vulnerability, you could stehel css variable content if it were allowed to embed css. — Tobias Buschor

I don't believe that variables are an implemented part of CSS3 at this time. A quick google search returns only articles debating the usefulness of said variables.

I saw earlier someone posted about this extension: http://sass-lang.com/, which allows variables and mix-ins, you may want to look into that?

Someone comment and correct me if I'm wrong.
