I am currently building a website and ran into a issue with my code. I am trying to set an image as a background for my header. I have checked the path to my image, the spelling of everything, and have checked my syntax online. Everything seems to match, so I don't understand why my image is not popping up. Any help you guys can give would be amazing. Thank you. Below is my css code:
header {
text-align: center;
background-image: url("image/concert.jpg");
background-size: 700px;
height: 333px;
width: 500px;
}
In addition to what other people already commented on your question, it is worth noting that the filepath must be relative to the css file's location.
Say your entire project is in a folder named root, and css is located in root/css/styles.css but image is in root/image/concert.jpg, then, from your stylesheet, you should call the image like background-image: url("../image/concert.jpg");
Like #David Alsbright said, you should check the development tools console of your browser. It will help you determine if there's a problem with the file path.

I have this JPG image that I am trying to use in CSS as a background-image for a div container. All different images I have tried work, but this one just wont render in the viewport. If I go to inspect element, it shows the thumbnail when I hover over the elements URL.
I have tried everything including:
Putting it in an img tag and giving it a static height/width
Converting it to png and svg'
Compressing it
Scraping the metadata
Using it in a different HTML/CSS file
import image from "./image.jpg";
//using React.js
<img src={image} className="image"/>//<-- doesnt work in img as src
<div className="imageBg"></div> //<-- doesnt work in div as bg
.image {
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
}
.imageBg {
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
background-image: url("./image.jpg");
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
}
Here's the culprit: (its just a 2000x2000 729KB .jpg mockup image edited in photoshop)
Is there something wrong with this image?
If you guys dont believe me, heres the bug in action: codesandbox.io/s/hardcore-kare-212iuy?file=/src/App.js
It works fine when I open that in an incognito window, but if I open it in a regular window…
… the file name in your live example (although not in the code you included in the question) ends in ad0.jpg which is a naming convention that triggers common ad-blocking algorithms.
Don't call it that.
Moral of the story: If an image isn't loading then look at the Network tab of your browser to find out what happens when the browser tries to load it.
There is a high chance of the Image getting Corrupted, try doing a small edit in any editing software (photoshop, or even system default apps) and save it again and try using it!
You can also simply take a screenshot of it and try using it in your code
If that doesn't work, you can use this link https://i.stack.imgur.com/LGYHM.jpg in your src as a string, this is the image uploaded to Stackoverflow's drive and test it for time being! if that works as a permanent solution create an account and Try Uploading it to a Cloud Assert Provider like Cloudinary and add it as a Link in the src
Imported all the folders of my code for my website from VS Code to my repository in GitHub. It is a very simple website using HTML and CSS only, as I am still only a beginner. Two background photos aren't showing when I do the preview of my page from GitHub. Other photos I used in HTML show without any problem. I found similar questions and tried to do what people advised, but I can't find a mistake in the relative paths I used. They look correct to me, I have no idea what else I could change. Here is the link to my GitHub repository:
https://github.com/Karito84/Tea-Cozy-Project
In the styles.css
.mission {
height: 43.75rem; /*700px*/
max-width: 75rem; /*1200px*/
background-image:url("../Images/img-mission-background.webp");
background-position: center;
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
flex-direction:column;
justify-content: center;
margin-top: 69px;
}
The above background-image doesn't show when I preview the website, but in my in VS code on my computer it all works and my website has all the photos.
When I open the Image folder on GitHub the images are there and display when I view them. I also tried changing my path to url(".Resources/Images/img-mission-background.webp")per another person's suggestion but it doesn't change anything.
Your relative paths are wrong. It should be url("./Resources/Images/img-mission-background.webp").
So I just finally figured out how to make my background images work. Instead of relative path I used absolute path and the background pictures are finally showing up!
background-image: url("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Karito84/Tea-Cozy-Project/master/Resources/Images/img-mission-background.webp");
but if someone can tell me what the relative path to this picture is, I would be very thankful!
My code works and display fine on live preview of Bracket but doesn't show when open directly with Chrome or Safari.
HTML
<div class="jumbotron">
<p>we develop <span>brands</span></p>
projects
</div>
CSS
.jumbotron {
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 665px;
background: url("/img/Creative/bg-final.jpg") center no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
I simply want my background image shown when open with Safari or Chrome.
Thank you
Brackets live preview creates a local server that's resolving "/img/Creative..." to the root of your project folder. When you open your HTML file in a browser, it's looking for "/img/Creative" at the root of your harddrive instead.
If you need the page to be openable in a browser without a server, you need to use a relative path. So if your CSS file is in "stylesheets/style.css", for example, you'd use "../img/Creative" to reference your image.
"../" takes you up a level in your folder structure.
You are using the wrong code.
Try this - background-image: url("paper.gif");
I know you are using the shorthand code but try this.
Also always put the image in the same folder so you don't have to write the whole long address again & again.
Okay I cannot figure out what's going on as it works fine on my computer, yet when I try it out on my hosting, it doesn't wanna cooperate. My website is http://kamecomputers.com/ and the issue is in the little circles where I'm supposed to have some icons, now on my computer they work fine, but I just doesn't wanna work on the hosting. enter image description hereAnyone got any ideas?
Your links to the images are broken. Here is what you have:
background: url(\Images\wrench.png) no-repeat center;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
You are using a backslash (\) when you're likely wanting to use a forward slash (/).

I have a background image that is ~300kb in size.
For some reason it will not load on my webpage even after several minutes.
This is the code where I am using the background image. It is in the same level as my webpage.
Am I doing something wrong here? Or is the image too large..?
Thanks.
body {
background-color: #D2C7AC;
background-image:url('background.jpg');
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
I think the problem is solved. Thanks for the help :)
The image url should be in quotes.
background-image:url('background.jpg');
You can check the network tab in the developer tools to make sure that the image is being found correctly as well (make sure it doesn't return a 404).
You can try using Fiddler to investigate:

It will help you see exactly what's happening in the background.
