Background image property problem

.box {
  background-color:#387ABC;
  background-image:url('/img/mike.png');
  background-repeat:no-repaet;
}

I'm getting the message that there is something wrong with the background image property, but everything seems correct. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi Jason, you have a typo is no-repeat.

.box {
  background-color:#387ABC;
  background-image:url('../img/mike.png');
  background-repeat:no-repeat;
}

Check your code to make sure everything is written correctly! Something as simple as a small spelling mistake can throw a spanner in the works. Hope this helps!

background-repeat: no-repeat;
