background-image: url(“images/plaid.jpg”) no-repeat; wont show up

Question

I can\'t seem to make my plaid.jpg the background on any of my pages, let alone all of them, I\'ve tried selecting it by body, html, *, the specific id of \"home\". nothing

Answer 1

You either use :

background-image: url("images/plaid.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;

... or

background: transparent url("images/plaid.jpg") top left no-repeat;

... but definitively not

background-image: url("images/plaid.jpg") no-repeat;

EDIT : Demo at JSFIDDLE using absolute paths (in case you have troubles referring to your images with relative paths).
