[SOLVED] background image

Hi,

Sorry, i seem to be unable to load an image as a background in my custom css. I can change the colour no problem but have an issue with changing it to an image. Here is the syntax within the custom css:

html {background-image: images/joomlaplates/blue-test.jpg !important;}

Does it need to read

html {background-image: url('images/joomlaplates/blue-test.jpg') !important;}

Thanks,

Steve

PLease check your source code if the image is at the right path.
I dont htink so, please use this code below:

html {background-image: url('../images/joomlaplates/blue-test.jpg') !important;}

Your code: images/..
Right code: ../images/..

Hi,

I just put the test images in there so i can work out what i like. they do not stay in there permanently. I have already tried the below and tested it again and it does not seem to work for some reason. So just to clarify i have saved the images in the joomlaplates folder within images.

Thanks,

Steve

live url please...
And please take in your mind that you can have 2 background images.
One image at html and one in body section. Make sure that the body is not override the html background.

Hi,

No problem, I will take a look. I do not have a live url yet as I have a local instance on my pc that I am using to get to grips and produce a temporary design.

Thanks,

Steve

Problem solved.
