Newbie question

I have index.html, style.css, image.png in one folder.

in index.html I include style.css


>




In style.css I set the background:

body{
background-image:url("image.png");
}


But the image doesn't load.
How should I correct the url in css?

Hi

Remove double primes around image.png

BODY { background-image:url(image.png);

Perhaps you have made a spelling mistake or a space in the name,
case can be important including in the ".png"? Are you loading to
a free webhost? Try this on your local machine for your
index.html:

"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">













And see if you see red. Try a different image, one that
definitely opens when you drag the image file itself to the open
browser window.

I can't see why would that work? Perhaps you know something?

but exactly same code does not work on

http://dorayme.150m.com/test88.html

Seems to be independent of the ""

Have you included tags in your HTML?

Body is an optional element in HTML.

In this case a URL is essential to solving the OP's problem.

In addition to the possibilities reflected in other answers, consider
whether you are posting from a Windows machine. Capitalization does not
matter there, but may on your server. For instance, IMAGE.PNG on a
windows machine would not load under a *[iu]x machine if you called it
"image.png".

But the picture he/she's hoping to display is specified in the CSS as a
background to the body.

The 'body' element is always there, even if it's not explicitly
mentioned in the HTML source code. Like 'tbody' for example.
