unable to get image set as background

Recommended Posts

I have an image that I would like placed as a background, the image is black and white and I would like it to repeat downwards, I have tried to copy someone elses code!  I failed.

 

The image file name is  images/D89-grey-c.JPG

 

Is there something I have missed ?

so the usefull part of your code is this:

.resultsBackground { background-image: url('images/D89-grey-c.JPG'); }

 

can you remove: <!-- from your code it serves no purpose.

 

besides that is the path to the image ccorrect. in other words is your image file in the folder named images?

is the extension .JPG or .jpg or .jpeg or .JPEG  ?

 

IF you have an online example it would be easier to check this out for us.
