I'm trying to complete the intro to web design, and I'm setting the background color to a texture with a fallback. This is what I have, but it's not working. Ideas?
background-color: #420600, url('img/texture.png') repeat;

You can also use the shorthand property instead, and set it up as background:(leaving out color).

Courses Plus Student 8,868 PointsThe shortest path to working code would be to take out "-color" and the comma after the hex color.
#myDiv { background: #420600 url('img/texture.png') repeat; }
Or
#myDiv {
background-color: #420600;
background-image: url('img/texture.png');
background-repeat: repeat;
}
