Topic explains it all. I've got it set as...
body{
background-image:url('images/bg.gif');
background-repeat:repeat-x repeat-y;
}
Can't seem to figure out why it's not rendering in the background. I'm new to wordpress themeing in general. Could anyone help me out? I've posted a link to the content in full below.

In the style sheet, I see some garbage characters right in front of the
body{ background-image:url('images/bg.gif');
line in the css file. Those might be making the rendering skip the rule. I'd backspace and clean that up.
It looks like you background image is located here:
http://www.aidanchurch.com/blog/wp-content/themes/bloo_06/images/bg.gif
So first of all try an absolute address like so:
background-image: url('/blog/wp-content/themes/bloo_06/images/bg.gif');
However if that works, you really want a relative URL, so take a look at the directory structure of your theme and ensure the background image is indeed relative to the css file you have written that rule in, in the way you have written.
Check that you have uploaded the correct image to the correct place. When I tried to view the image I could see a very small and transparant image. http://www.aidanchurch.com/blog/wp-content/themes/bloo_06/images/bg.gif .

So I am really new at programming (literally started yesterday lmao). So I wrote the code and everything and the backround color just doesn't want to change to black. I also have an issue where my image is not showing up on my webiste (it used to but now its only an blank square).
Thanks for answers :)
Please check your CSS file, in CSS file yoou write background:red; so please change that with below code.
<style>
body
{
background-color:red;
}
</style>
For background, you need to write complete term background-color: red; to make it work.
For image, make sure that the image exists in the same directory as the HTML file as you are not giving any extra path in your code.
Also, I would suggest that you go through any beginner guide on youtube first so that most of your queries are answered.
For colouring background, you need to change this:
body { background-color: red; }
And for your image issue, make sure you are entering the right path of the image.

I just want to add a basic banner at the top of my tumblr website. The code (posted below) is just below the <body> part of the html, however I can't figure out why any img link that I put into the 'imgurlhere' section only shows up as a broken icon (see picture).
<a href=“myurlhere”><center><img src=“imgurlhere” width=“500”></center></a>
broken image icon that's showing up
My idea is to upload a short gif to tumblr, and then copy the code into the html so that it is placed at the top of my website as an advertisement. However, every url I put into the 'imgurlhere' section shows up as broken - regardless of advice I've found online stating that's all one needs to do.
I'm making sure to include the correct link, such as .png etc
And making sure to copy it straight from the 'copy image address'.
Any idea?
Thanks!
I think that setting width="500" in img tag was causing this issue.
-The best way would be to add a class and then set the width of the image.
.image{
width:500px;
}
</center>
Try using your image there and let me know if it works or not.Thank You
I am actually making a small website for my company, but i'm not good into HTML.
I am placing an image in background.
But i want some think special.
When someone is reading the site and go down, the image doesn't move.
But when we hit the end of this image's background, the image's background follow the user to the down.
I know the code for making it fixe, and making it following.
But i don't know how to
IMG go Fixe;
IF (End of IMG) {IMG go Follow;}.
If I understand your question correctly, you want a background of an image that has text over it and scrolls/moves with the page when the user scrolls down. If this is what you are asking, and please correct me if I am wrong, then some CSS will do the trick!
Since you are new to HTML, I will assume that you don't know CSS but you know HTML. So create a new file called 'stylesheet.css' inside of the same folder as your webpage. Between the head tags in your HTML, add the following line of code:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css">
Now, in your HTML body, put the image inside and give it an id of "background". Do this by writing:
<div id="background">
<code for image>
</div>
Now open your .css file and add the following code:
#background{
opacity: 0.7;
position:fixed;
}
The opacity property makes sure people can see the text in front of it, and the position property anchors it to a position on the browser window.
For future reference, W3Schools.com is a great site for beginner web programmers.
Hope I helped, Justin
I'd like to make an image the background of one of my html pages.
I tried
body
{
background-image:url('./images/backgroundimage.gif');
}
But this wouldn't make it appear as the background image. I feel like this should be working, but it isn't. Anyone have better ideas, or see what I have wrong with this idea?
Drop the single quotes and the ./
Also, make sure that file actually exists relative to the that css file's url.
Edit: also search.
Try using this background-image:url(../Images/backgroundimage.gif); and as bkconrd suggestion, make sure your image file located in correct path(I assume you ain't newbie in HTML, hope you check your directory structure). you can Use inline css too <body STYLE="background-image: url(../images/backgroundimage.gif)"></body>(for testing purpose, But usage of Inline Style generally not recommended style of coding).
Hope this helps you, If not let us know .... Happy coding
How about trying this. I think this will work because I have tested it.
body {
background:url('./images/backgroundimage.gif') no-repeat 0 0;
}
I am trying to set my background image of the page via CSS using the following code, but no image shows up. The image will be tiled on the page and is only 10x10px big. Nonetheless, it still doesn't show up. Please can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
<body>
<div id="background"></div>
</body>
#background {
background-image: url("img/background.png");
}
Is the image in linkToCssFolder/img/background.png? The image path is relative to your CSS file.
Also, does your #background div have content in it? If not, it will probably have the default 0px height, and not show any background.
You need to give the element dimensions too...
#background {
width: 10px;
height: 10px;
}
Background images do not make their container stretch to fit.
Here is a list of all CSS keywords
Just tried this at http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/tryit.asp?filename=trycss3_background_multiple and it works.
I assume your image is not at right location or if the background property is being over written by style or another css rule.
such a no brainer thingy of css and html often forgotten even professional due lack of proper focus and just being tired.If you knew it just rest for a while.
here are some tips if you lost in the tree of web design.
Check the files if it is there, the file type and support for the file in your browsers
Check the directory if you are online you can put all the URL of the file OR use "../" if your css and the image file is in different level of directory.
Check your syntax.
rest, take a nap or have a coffee break.
Firstly check your CSS and image location
1) Both in same folder then try " background-image: url("background.jpg") " simply.
2) If you have img folder and image inside this folder then try " background-image: url("img/background.jpg"); "
3)If you have img folder and If you have CSS folder then you have to go one step back then goes to image folder and choose image it seem like this " background-image: url("../img/background.jpg"); " where '..'represent one step back
#background {background-image: url("img/background.png"); height:300px;}
add height element in css
Another source of error may come from image extension name, for instance in :
background-image: url("img/background.png")
Image name must be "background" and NOT "background.png"
Image "background" must be a PNG and not another image type like JPG
Hy,
to get your image you must imagine that you are in a terminal(or cmd prompt) and write as youuld do to get to the image.
So let us say that your css file is /css/ and you image is in /img/background.png.
To get to the image you must write this code background-image: url("../img/background.png");
This is because in terminal/cmd prompt to get to the image from your .css file you would first type cd .., then cd img, then background.png. Hope it will help you!
Cheers!
