Why doesn't this background image work?

Also Keep the quotes in.

Its working now. I dont know what I did, I changed the background to the banner .jpg since i knew that worked and it worked. When I switched it back to the background jpg it worked. craziness

Thanks for troubleshooting with me though! I appreciate it.

Marshall

No probs.

Hey thomas, I just had a bad copy paste, i edited my original post, mind looking at the issue?

Thanks!

You need to put it between quotes.

Chase tried that still not working

(div class="container clearfix") (cant get it to show this line with the brackets

        <div class="grid_10">
            <img src="img/aebanner.jpg" alt="Agnostic Effect CS:GO">
        </div>

        <nav class="grid_10 omega">
            <ul>
                <li><a href="#"><div class="button" id="newsbutton">News</div></a></li>
                <li><a href="#"><div class="button" id="matchesbutton">Matches</div></a></li>
                <li><a href="#"><div class="button" id="rosterbutton">Roster</div></a></li>
                <li><a href="#"><div class="button" id="forumsbutton">Forums</div></a></li>
                <li><a href="#"><div class="button" id="sponsorsbutton">Sponsors</div></a></li>
            </ul>
        </nav>
    </div>

with

body{
     background-color: black;
}
.container{
    background: url('../img/aebackground.jpg');
}

not working

Do you know how to take a screenshot?

All image hosting is blocked from work...

So i set the body to white. I have one banner centered, then 20px of space then 6 nav buttons centered and inline

then in a p tag below that, the word BLAH.

If I do

.container{
    background-color: black;
}

The container properly turns black for its width up to the word blah since its the last content on the page. one the sides and below my container is still white like it should be.

if i do

.container{
background: url(../img/aebackground.jpg)
}

Everything stays white no background image, with or without quotes in that line. But if I apply that same line to body then everything is covered in the background image... doesnt matter if i do background-image: either

so confused

yeah its in a css folder and linekd properly because I can change the background colors, just cant get the image to work. But it works on the body, which I dont want.
