[RESOLVED] CSS Element not working???

**blakemckenna** · Mar 5th, 2012, 04:44 PM

I have the following CSS Element in my StyleSheet file (IEStyle.css).

Code:

body 
{
    background-image: url('Images/DSC_0003.jpg');
    background-repeat: repeat-y;   
    overflow: auto;
}

The problem is that the image is not showing up as my background for the <body> tag. The jpg resides in the "Images" subdirectory in my VS project as does it exist on my webserver. What am I doing wrong? Below is what my aspx page looks like with the Style Sheet included in the page.

Code:

<&#37;@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="Main3.aspx.vb" Inherits="BMResume.Main3" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1" runat="server">

    <title>Resume of Blake McKenna</title>

    <link href="Styles/IEStyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Thanks,

The path you use in a CSS file is relative to the file's location; I'd guess that your Images directory is not within your Styles directory. If Images and Styles are in the same place, then your path needs to be '../Images/DSC_0003.jpg'
