Trouble with background images

**Daman** · 03-10-2008, 10:43 AM

Can some tell me why the body background image isn't showing in this page? I need it to work with the html background image.

Here is the CSS I want to get working:

HTML Code:

html {background-image: url(images/html_bg.gif);background-repeat: repeat-x;}
body {background-image: url(images/body_bg.gif);background-repeat: repeat;}

Thanks!

why would you put a background on html ?
There's nothing IN the <body> for anything to show up !

I'm trying to apply an effect with the top bg as a repeat-x and below that have a tiled repeat graphic in the remainder of the bg of the page. Any suggestions? I know this sounds tricky but is it possible?

Then have the top be like <div id="header"> with the background for the top. The rest of the page can have the body background or create a container div with that background below header.
