Courses Plus Student 1,486 Points3 Questions about CSS
- I did not understand why the background for my button and the website is not working. Here's my CSS code:
body{
font-family: "Nunito", sans-serif;
color: #FAF3BC;
background: #420600 url('img/bg-texture.jpg') repeat;
}
.btn{
color: #FAF3BC;
background: #4FB69F url('img/texture.png') no-repeat right top;
padding: 15px 30px;
margin: 40px; 0px;
border-radius: 25px;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
I am pretty sure the link to my picture is correct since my other pictures are working except the background.
Thank you!

15,622 PointsIf your stylesheet is stored in a different directory than your HTML then the relative link might not be right.
For example, let's say all your images are in a directory called 'img/'. When you call up the webpage, it looks in its home directory for a subdirectory called 'img/'.
But now lets say your css is also stored in a subdirectory called 'css/'. If you reference an image from the stylesheet, then it will be looking for 'img/' in the 'css/' directory. SO, you need to specify the link as '../img/texture.png' - the '..' refers to the parent directory. Your exact solution will depend on how your files are stored.
