How do I go about doing this?
My HTML and CSS files are something like this:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="../favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

The “_content” class doesn’t show the background image it is supposed to, can anyone explain to me why? The background image specified appears when I give the element a specific height, I tried using “min-height”, but only minimum height specified displayed the background image, how do I fix this?
Probably because all its children are set to
float: leftwhich means you need to put something likeoverflow: autoon your._contentto get it to recognize and wrap those floated elements (instead of being just 0 height).Further Explanation: Floats need to be cleared in order for them to give height to their containing elements. There are various means of clearing floats, but the easiest is to set the
overflowproperty on the containing element.
