Code Challenge Fonts and Colors #4

The question is "Add the background texture.png from inside the img folder and set the background to repeat".

The code I have entered for the background is:

background: #420600; url('img/texture.png') repeat;

The error message I am getting is: Bummer! Make sure you put the relative path to the image inside of 'url()'.

I can't figure out why this is incorrect. It all looks right to me. Help would be greatly appreciated!

The semicolon after your hex code ends the background statement, leaving your url string all alone. You can either use separate rules, or use the shorthand like follows:

background: url('img/texture.png') #420600;

background: url('img/texture.png') repeat #420600; Add the repeat and this works fine. Thanks for the help!

Repeat should be the default value.
