Beginner Having Trouble Inserting Background Image

Recommended Posts

Hi, I am just working my way through the CSS tutorial, I have a successful external style sheet and can change background colors etc, but cant seem to insert a background image. here is the codebody {color:sienna}p {margin-left:60px}background-image:url('C:\Documents and Settings\Evil Chris\My Documents\My Pictures\Works in progress\link.jpg')BTW the code box didn't work in this post. Anyway the image in question is called "link.jpg" I tried it without all the other documents and settings etc, maybe I should not have used a \ between the progress and the link.excuse my ignorance. Thanks.

You must put the background-image property inside one of the blocks, and try appending file:/// before the URL.

body {  background-image:url('file:///C:\Documents and Settings\Evil Chris\My Documents\My Pictures\Works in progress\link.jpg');}
