Images on a stylesheet

[Superbird]

I have this style sheet for a homemade website. Under the ".body{" class, I have "background: #809def; ". It gives me the perfect color every time. Then, I try inserting an image, called "bg_image.png". I put "background: bg_image.png; ". It turns up white, like it just isn't working. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong with the thing?

P.S. All of this is in the same folder; I SHOULD be able to use relative linking, which is what I think I'm doing.

I think it needs to be

background: url('bg_image.png');

Though you can also just do

background: #809def url('bg_image.png');

so you don't have the background property twice there.

Apostrophes not necessary, by the way.

Neither of those combinations work; any other ideas?

Could you post the whole code?

 

[Superbird]

Never mind--I just got it to work. Thanks for the help, people!

New question: how do you make text or menus that are automatically on every page of the site?

not with css. server-side includes.

I'm not talking about CSS anymore, sorry. I just don't want to clog this place up with a new topic.

you wouldn't be clogging it up anyway. this forum hardly gets any activity. :/
