That would be quite right jlhaslip. CSS is meant for presentation, and it styles the HTML content. So, where one would put a image depends on what it is? Is it a content or is it a styling element. Now, if it is a content, then it definetly should go in with the HTML content in a <IMG> tag. But if it were a styling image, it should get hooked with one of the HTML tags, and go in to the background-image property.

And what is the syntax for putting a background image property in a css sheet ?

The syntax to putting a background image property in a css sheet is:

Take in mind that this is the most simple syntax to put an image as a background, the full syntax covers:

• background-attachment
• background-color
• background-image
• background-position
• background-repeat

BTW, the 'background' property is a shorthand property for setting the individual background properties at the same time ('background-color', 'background-image', 'background-repeat', 'background-attachment' and 'background-position').

Take a look to the official CCS2 specification at: Offical W3C CCS2 Specification

Best regards,

I dont have a clue what you are talking about sorry also whats the big deal with css i have never used css and problly never will

A lot of people use css sheets. It's a way of formatting your web pages layout, without having to re-define your page layout in each html file.
If you don't like it, of course, you don't use it.
I don't use it, and my pages are not so nice as other people's pages are.
If you want to do ugly things, write down your html pages all by yourself.
If you want to have something nice, professional-looking, you buy a nice css layout or you choose a free one or you ask a friend to create one for you.
