Question

I’m working on a page and I have the content placed in a wrapper on my stylesheet. However the background for the wrapper is not showing up behind the content and I can’t figure out why.

Here is the code snippet.

#wrapper {
  width: 850px;
  margin-top: -44px;
  padding: 15px;
  background-image: url('http://www.website.com/tumblr/images/contentbg_grey.png') repeat-y center;
  border: dashed thin blue;
  position: relative;
  text-align:center;
}

Answer 1

background-image: url('http://www.website.com/tumblr/images/contentbg_grey.png') repeat-y center;

Should be:

background: url('http://www.website.com/tumblr/images/contentbg_grey.png') repeat-y center center;

Remove the “-image” if you’re using the shorthand
