background image problems

[clueless]

Am getting more and more frustrated about this! I'm just trying to create an image as the background to my webpage, using the 'background-image' property in CSS.I've tried everything I can think of but it still won't work. There may just be a problem somewhere else, however the code in my style sheet looks like this:

body{background-image: url(arthur.jpg)}

What am i doing wrong? Is there some vital piece of info I'm missing?!thanks

I'm not sure what the problem these could be it:image not in same file as the webpagedo you have <style type="text/css"></style> or external file correctly coded?

Have you remembered to type <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css" /> if you have an extarnal stylesheet?

Make sure that your background isn't covered. If you, for example, use a container to center you site, and in your container div, it is coded to have a solid bg color, i.e. black, then that will cover it. Understand?
