Background-image not working in workspace

Hello, I cant get my background image to show. I don't see any problems with the code

I have a folder named "img" inside the folder i have a jpg image named "torgerback"

My CSS looks like this:

content-right{

width:40%; height:600px; float:left; background:#FF9933; background-image:url("img/torgerback.jpg"); }

Any idea what the issue could be ?

Hey Torger, just put a period or a hashtag before your 'content-right' selector. If the element has an id, use a hashtag, if it's a class, use a period.

That's not it :(

I had an id on the div, and a #before content-right. Just missed it when i posted this.

Is there anything wrong with workspace or ?

I can't see any reason for it not to work.

Ah got it. Hm, one more thing you could try although it might not do anything, try switching background and background-image. Sometimes the background property will override other properties. Try switching your background to background-color, and background-image to background. See if that does anything.
