Hi
I have finished coding my site and it will not show the background image, I know I have pointed it to the correct place and yet it will not show it.
anyone see where an earth I have gone wrong or what might be stopping it working.
i have run a css validator check on it and found no errors.
many thanks

You're not clear on what
You're not clear on what image isn't being shown, I see images? If you mean the pop up image:
files/headline.png
That does NOT appear to be in that directory and was the first thing I checked.

oh sorry it is this file that
oh sorry it is this file that does not show up.
files/background.jpg it is in the nov.css code and is in the filder called files.
it is meant go have a sort of graduated grey white effect and has the buttons on it that you can then navigate left and right. the code is there for the the link to work but it needs the image for the viewer to see the button is there. so without the background showing up no one will know, plus it gives it a better backdrop.
does this make more sense now?
thanks so far

You just have your file paths
You just have your file paths wrong. Both stylesheet file and image are in the same directory. Calls in stylesheets are relative to that stylesheet. You can't be looking for a folder named 'files' in the folder named 'files' which is what your background url paths are looking for.

looks like maybe I didn't
looks like maybe I didn't know what you meant.
I put my css and js files into a different folder and redirected the files in the code. however, it still will not show the background image up, it shows all the other images in that folder but not the background folder.
think my brain just seems to have stopped working
