899 PointsWhat's wrong with my CSS Code?
So, I understand the general reaction is going to be, go on in your classes, but I am continuing in my css course. Since I've dabbled in web design for several years and this if the first time I'm really sticking to it, I'm giving myself projects to keep learning. I told my friend I would make a website for his wife's business. Long story short, I'm working on it as I learn.
So here's my problem... I'm having trouble getting a background image to display at the top of my page, in the header. I want one background image for my whole page, and a different image for the header. I want image-one.jpg to be the background for the entire section above my nav bar. However, it is not working. Please tell me what is wrong with my code?
