hey guys.
I'm making an website and the image size isn't changing i've tired all sorts of ways but it's weird.
HTML CODE
<div class="main-content"> <!-- <center><img class="bodybg"src="img/body.png"></center> -->
<div class="sides-show">
<img class="test" src="lols.png">
</div>
CSS CODE
.main-content {
background: url("../img/body.png") no-repeat; background-size: 70% 70%; }
.slide-show { width: 70%; height: 100px; border: 2px solid white; }

243,656 PointsYou say the size "isn't changing". But when should it change?
Do you mean when you resize the window? One way to make that happen is to give the element a size based on a percentage, or on viewport units. Without that kind of specification, the size would not change with the window.
To enable specific analysis of your issue, consider creating a Treehouse Workspace for it. You can then use the snapshot function in the workspace and provide the link to it here.

Treehouse TeacherFirst, you're missing an ending div tag before the closing of the body. But my primary concern here is why you even need the body.png. When I preview that picture in the forked workspace it appears as a black square. That's doable with CSS without having to load in an extra resource. Also the link to your background picture is incorrect. It should be:
background: url("../body.png") no-repeat;

Treehouse TeacherWe're going to need to see all your code including your file/directory structure to even confirm that your CSS is being loaded properly. Can you post us a link to either a workspace or your codepen?
I can say this so far: you're using the center tag which is deprecated. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/center
Also you referenced classes called test, bodybg and sides-show, which is nowhere in the CSS you've posted. In your CSS you have a slide-show class which is found nowhere in your html.
