CSS Background Image

Check out my new site at http://www.newandupcoming.com/

In this screencast, we are going to talk about setting a background image using CSS. Using a background image is a clever way to decorate your webpage because with a background image, you are just occupying the background of your page. If you need to put more text or images on your page, you can do so.

im having such a hard time with this... =( ive tried 2-3 different ways to add the background image and none of them are working for me. my image is stored at C:\Documents and Settings\cody1\My Documents\Pictures and the name of the file is "background" its a jpg file... so the entire thing should say... body { background-image:url (C:\Documents and Settings\cody1\My Documents\Pictures\background.­jpg) } correct? this would attach itself to my body tag if im correct...

@trunhks what you can do is try to put that image path in an img tag and see if the image shows up or not.

Don't be a dick. You obviously watched his video for help on this subject, so why ridicule someone for helping you. Disrespectful douche.

@trunhks or you could just save the image to the same folder as your html file...
