can i make "/project/" as dynamic?What does that mean? Whatever you use for a 'path' to a file has to match what is actually on the server.

suppose the name of the project changes then if i have hardcoded the project name,then it needs to be changed manually.
like in jsp we get teh context path same way can we get in css also? If yes then how?
If we can't get the context name in css file then the approach ../ would be much better as the project name changes we don't need to modify the project name in css file.

CSS is entirely passive, it is a description language but not a programming language. Some other language would have to change the 'project' name because there is nothing in CSS that can do that.

ok it means that there are no ways in which we can pass the project name in the css file.
It means that the approach ./ will be the best if we need dynamic folders.
Can u please let me the know the difference between "using /, ../ and ./?"
Out of the tree which one is better ot use

The three methods, " /, ../ and ./", are not interchangeable, they are used for different things. Usage depends on the need and where the file is in the path structure. See my first comment for details.
