I couldn't find a sub-forum for CSS, so i thought i would post it here.

I'm using CSS to display backgrounds, and for font types and such. So i want to add a background, called "background.jpg"
this is the CSS code:

[codebox]body {
background-image: url(background.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat;
}[/codebox]

but for some reason, the background only shows up in Firefox, and not in IE

is this an error in my code?

thanks in advance :mellow:

Really? maybe it doesn't find the path or something?

try using:

<style type="text/css">
body
{ 
background: #ffffff url('background.jpg') repeat; 
}
</style>

It should work on IE, unless there is another problem, try browsing and learning a little bit from the simple tutorial site:

Is the background.jpg file in the same directory as the HTML file? Does the background.jpg file even exist?
Try putting quotation marks around "background.jpg" (like that).

Hello Gekko, I exactly know what is your problem cause my problem is the same. I wanted to ask if you solved this problem. Please share the solution with me, cause I can't find anywhere.

Last time I had a look, in an html file, the background file was written with double quotes :
<body background="http://files.photoje.../something.JPG" /body>
Did you try with double quotes ?

This might work:

<style type="text/css">
body
{ 
background: #ffffff url(background.gif) repeat; 
}
</style>

I ran into the same problem but as soon as I saved it in the new format it worked.

Chrome Background ColourCss Background Not Showing Upin Ie

You have designed amazing Website site and tested it in all browser. But when itComes to Google Chrome the background image or background colour doesn’t showUp? Here is a simple solution

When you create CSS style using Dreamweaver for web designing, DreamweaverAdds a default code such as

@charset “utf-8″;

Try removing this from your stylesheet, the background image or colour shouldDisplay properly

Chrome and firefox ge CMYK colors just fine... IE didn't

Saved the image as RGB everything is fine now.

More about @charset...Css Background Not Showing Upin Ie

I just noticed this problem too and took a look at my CSS stylesheet.

Wherever " @charset "utf-8"; "is, make SURE it is on line 1 of your CSS document.

I had a comment on line 1 and @charset "utf-8"; on line 2, which caused the background to not show up in Google Chrome. Now that they have swapped, the problem has been fixed.

Cheers,

-Adam

spacing makes a differenceCss Background Not Showing Upin Ie

Hello,

Some good troubleshooting going on in here.

Here is my solution:

background: url(images/optinBg.Jpg) left top no-repeat;

the 'left top' part needed a space before it or the background did not show.

CSS background not working in IECss Background Not Showing Upin Ie

Not sure if someone had the same problem, but this was also my issue. I found out what the problem was in my case. Since my JPEG background was working fine in FF and Chrome, and not IE, I opened up again the image in Photoshop and found out that it was in CMYK mode. IE does not read CMYK so make sure your JPEG is in RGB mode.

Again, this was the problem in my case and now works fine in all browsers.

Replying to GekkoI could not find a fix that worked so I just use jQuery to re-apply the background-image style on the body element. This fixed it for me:$(document).Ready(function() { // IE-7&8 fix: body background-image was not rendering, so set it again. $('body').Css('background-image', 'url(images/bg-image.Gif)');});
