I'm not having much luck with my web pages lately. My index.htm file contains:

HTML Code:

<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="www.bkelly.ws/web.css" />

and the web.css file contains:

Code:

body {
padding-left: 11em;
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
color: purple;
/* background-color: #C0C0C0 */
/* background="http://www.bkelly.ws/background3.gif" */
background="http://www.bkelly.ws/background3.jpg"
}

But the background is not showing up. If I add the background statement directly to the index.htm file it does show up. What do I have wrong?

background-image: url(path_to_image.ext);

I have it now. The reference in the index page also needed a change to include http:// in front of the www.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.
