change background from color to image

There seems to be something stopping me changing the background from a color to an image. Here's what I'm doing:

> Changing the template.css file
> Changing this:
body { background:line-height:1.7; background:#f4f2ef; }
to:
body { background-image:url('..images/bg_test.png'); }
> Checking in Firebug and in the preview version of the site and just getting clear backgrounds
> Image does definitely exist on my servers

Any ideas?

this is taken from the logo....

try use the same :


h1.logo { width:250px; height:110px; background:transparent url('../images/logo.png') no-repeat 0 6px; padding:0 20px 0 0; }


set the background to transparant url('path/to/image/image.extention')

try that..

nope - still doesn't like it. What is interesting is that a preview doesn't even show up in firebug whereas for all other image references it does. Doesn't seem to like me using an image in the 'background' part of the css...

Hi

Did you try something like this:

Code: Select all

body#bd {background:#000 url('../images/youimage.jpg') no-repeat 0 0;}


Cheers

nope - still not working. Is this something that works for you when you debug using Firebug?

Are you sure?

Can you show me your website?

following your code, the background becomes dark.

one question

('../images/youimage.jpg') the same with /template/gk_corporate2/images/youimage.jpg ??

if you change something in template.css and use the code ../images/yourimage.jpg it goes one folder back (back to template/gk_corporate2) and then enters images... so yes


if you need help we need to see your www...
