Question

The background image is missing in ie7; only ie7 has an issue.

The site is here http://www.competition4ct.com/.

This is the call I’m using for the background image:

html { background : ("source-file.png");}

Why isn’t the background image appearing?

Answer 1

You seem to be missing the url in front of your file name. It should be:

body {background-image: url(source-file.png);}

Notice that I’ve also used background-image here, not background. You can use the background shortcut, then it would look something like this:

body {background: transparent url(source-file.png) left top no-repeat;}

It’s also more usual to put a background on the body tag, although I’m sure the html tag will work in most cases as well.
