Still new here. I have created a background image, and posted the rule into css (or so I think!)
It will not display and I wonder of someone might help me find my error?
here is my html code located in my index page:
<!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" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="generator" content="CoffeeCup HTML Editor (www.coffeecup.com)" />
<meta name="created" content="Wed, 09 Jun 2010 00:32:55 GMT" />
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="description" content="" />
<meta name="keywords" content="" />
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="mycssname.css"/>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Here is the top portion of my new stylesheet:
<head>
<title></title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background:url(backgroundformf.jpg);
text-align: center;
}
p {
background: #FF0000;
}
h1 {
background: #0000A0;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 18pt;
font-family: Arial;
I know this has to just be something really stupid, and I am going cross-eyed looking at it now.
Many thanks!
Please help: background image won't...

Style sheets do not contain html tags. So remove the html tags <> from the CSS.
Then link the style sheet to the html with a tag in the html head section.
The code for the background image is
<head>
<title></title>
<style type="text/css">
<title></title>
<style type="text/css">
Then link the style sheet to the html with a tag in the html head section.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="myStylesheet.css" />
The code for the background image is
background-image:url('backgroundformf.jpg');

I would like to also point out that in Joker's CSS, he changed your "background" to "background-image". I want to make sure you picked up on that or you will find your background will not show up in IE.
