I just put up site and may be ok but the gradiant background is not loading so lot of my text which is light is not showing. Whats up?

You may want to provide a link to the site and the gradient graphic.

We would only be guessing without looking at the active code.

Here are some things to check:

Make sure the gradient graphic is in the correct folder on your site.

Make sure the code to load the graphic is spelled correctly.

Look for case. gradient.gif is not the same as gradient.GIF.

I am sure there are more things you could check but post a link and it is likely that someone here will find the problem and let you know how to solve it.

to add to Mr Billr, if your using VSD, and the gradient background is an image Not made within VSD, you'll need to use to add files to add that image for it to work online.
