adding image to link with css

[kevwood]

hi

  i am trying to add a background image to my links in a list on my page but i cannot get the image to show how i would like.

 

  i am either going about it the wrong way or it simply cannot be done how i would like.  either way here is the code that i am using at the min

 

#P_navigation li{
list-style-type : none;
margin : 0;
margin-left : 0;
background : url(../images/buttons/main_link_bg.png)-50px -15px no-repeat;
width : 192px;
height : 50px;
}

 

i will attach an image of what it is doing and one of the image i am trying to display

your code looks fine. from where your stylesheets are saved on the server, what is the path to the images folder? are you using firebug or any other live code reader?

first time i have built a site using css.  just been reading up on the rest that is need to be done on the browser settings.  it is now showing how i would like just got to position the text to where i want it to be.
