hello WMT,
I wish to have a bg img inside an element (not a page- just an element) so i can add text and links on top.
I think im using tried n true and researched write up for placing background-image in an element. I have looked thru this forum and elsewhere-- same story everywhere -- I have used variations on quotes-- no avail

#divname {
background-image: URL(img/the_bg.gif);
}

the layout lives here:
http://www.joyworthen.com/twocakes
-- lower right area with name+link text inside.
i have viewed in MAC/FF;Opera;Safari

AAHHH the simple path fix ......of course.. (she said with a combination of embarrassment and relief...)

thanks for your time WMT !

It looks like you might have the path to the image wrong When I looked for the image I got:

The requested URL /twocakes/styles/img/bg_icon.gif was not found on this server.

I know. And the more you start looking for other things the harder it can be to realize you forgot to check.

When I first started working with php I was still in the habit of using .html extensions and would search for hours wondering why a page wasn't working until it finally dawned on me I needed to have the .php extension. I'm embarrassed to admit I did that more than once.
