I am trying to create a basic style sheet with a background, and a form in the middle.

With the code I have, the background shows but the form is not visible. When all is said and done, the only HTML I will need will be text inside the form. But for now, I need the form to display. I am sure it is a mental error on my part, but here is the code:

   <head>

   <title>Basic Form</title>

   <style type="text/css">

     body 
     {
         background-image:url('images/background.png');
     }

     #main{ 
         background: url('/images/form.png') 0 0 no-repeat; 
         margin:250px auto; 
         z-index: 1; 
     }

     </head>


  <body>
       <div id="main">

      </div>


  </body>

</html>

    You have not set any dimensions for #main, so the width and height are auto.

    That div has no content, so the height becomes 0.

    With no height, there is no visible area to render a background image on.
