for starters, I always enclose my image URL in single quote marks

Code:

background: #ffffff url('images/mainbg.gif') repeat-y;

Also, why are you defining a background for "html" as well as "body" ?

Joe · 11-23-2005, 11:41 AM

it loads 2 different pics...
www.josephheskett.com
one loads the colour in the backround, the other loads the strip...
my main problem is:

Code:

	background-image: url(http://www.josephheskett.com/images/head.jpg);

thats the bit that isn't showing... the picture is suppose to appear where the black bit is...

iNod · 11-23-2005, 11:44 AM

Change this to

Code:

.html {
	background: #222 url('http://www.josephheskett.com/images/bg.gif') repeat-x scroll;
	font: 0.75em/1.3 Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Sans-serif;
	text-align: center;
}

You must add the . infront of html otherwise it says to CSS for all functions html do background.... there is no function called html other than the starting/closing operator. (<html>)

thank you.. it seems to be working

StardustWD · 11-25-2005, 03:10 PM

Wybe, i'm not sure whether i would recommend enclosing the image URL within single quotes, this stops IE5 Mac from seeing your background images. I would recommend specifying:

Code:

background: #ffffff url(http://wac.658e.edgecastcdn.net/80658E/namepros/images/mainbg.gif) repeat-y;

Joe · 11-26-2005, 03:30 AM

ok right... thanks for your help it is all working now

the '.' has been added and the single quotes removed
