Can't chnage background from color to Image

[lawrencee99]

Can someone please tell me how to change my CSS to use image for background instead of color? Have tried all I can to no avail. See the red and emboldened part in the code below:

body {
	background:#151515;
	background-image: url(../../images/background_images/abstract_background1.jpg);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-position: center top;
}

Assuming that's the correct path to the image and it's there, that should be fine. It won't replace the color. It will show over it and be top center no repeat.

It would be better to use background-color:

body {
 background-color: #151515;
 background-image: url(../../images/background_images/abstract_background1.jpg);
 background-repeat: no-repeat;
 background-position: center top;
}

Or the shorthand combined notation:

body {
 background: #151515 url(../../images/background_images/abstract_background1.jpg) no-repeat center top;
}

If you want a different color you can specify it. You can leave the color out or specify transparent, but for the body that would end up being white in most cases.

If you want more help, please include a link to the page on your site that contains the problematic code so we can check it out.
