Django static css background image not loading

I'm trying to set up my django website and I have some background images in my css file.

I try to reference the images by using

 background:url(../img/background.jpg)

My css file is under a css folder which is under that static folder. My img folder is inside the static folder as well. I'm not sure why the image will not load.

It looks like you're missing quotes around the url path. Try:

 background:url('../img/background.jpg')
