background image

[snootydog]

I am having trouble adding a particular background image to a particular style sheet and can't figure out what I am doing wrong since I have managed to get background images into other style sheets. The image I want to use is http://www.pbase.com/snootydog/image/35336574.jpg
and I am trying to get it into the lower left or right hand side of the style sheet seen in this gallery: http://www.pbase.com/snootydog/salz

any help would be most appreciated as I have been wrestling with it to no avail.

thanks.

Looks like you´ve mixed HTML concepts and CSS... they´re different.
I´ll explain with the solution:

This is the code you have:

Code: Select all

body{
        margin-bottom: 20px;
        margin-top: 0px;
        background: rgb(65, 65, 65);
        background-attachment: fixed;
        background-image: url <IMG src="http://www.pbase.com/snootydog/image/35336574.jpg"
        background-repeat: no-repeat;
        background-position: right bottom;
}

The code you used to describe the pictures URL is used to link images in HTML... with all those < and >
So this is how your Body Class Code should be:

Code: Select all

body{
        margin-bottom: 20px;
        margin-top: 0px;
        background: rgb(65, 65, 65);
        background-attachment: fixed;
        background-image: url(http://www.pbase.com/snootydog/image/35336574/original.jpg);
        background-repeat: no-repeat;
        background-position: bottom right;
}

See the difference? You must also noticed that you did missed the " ; " in the original code you did have. Those things are very, very important, just as the " } " and all those end marks, otherwise your browser can go crazy and do anything but what you want.

Hope This Helps You, I did the test and it worked Ok, but please let us know

You know I tried all different syntaxes and html and css and reworded it at least 20 times. it seems I tried every way but the right way. Thank you so very much.

I have the image on the bottom left now because it has to be there since there is an unnatural edge on the left side of the image. How do I shift my thumbnails a bit more to the right so that the right hand dog isn't covered by them?

thank you again and again.

I still have to learn that. Sadly the page that had that configuration already changed so if somebody else know how to help us here with that we´ll be glad.

Any way, you can always resize your dog in digital life
