Font and Colors Challenge: Task 4 of 4 - not understanding

Task: Add the background texture.png from inside the img folder and set the background to repeat.

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

It keeps saying-Bummer! Make sure you put the relative path to the image inside of 'url()'.

Thanks for your help!

Tara Muise - background is a shorthand property which means you are specifying multiple properties in one line. In your case you have semi-colon in the middle making it invalid CSS.

Here's some more info on the syntax of the background property and here's some more general info on what exactly a shorthand property is

if i remember correctly you have to ad background-repeat: as its own line as in its making you use the long handed version
