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

Most important

Keep in mind that relative URLs are resolved from the URL of your stylesheet.

So it will work if folder images is inside the stylesheets folder.

From you description you would need to change it to either

url("../images/plaid.jpg")

or

url("/images/plaid.jpg")

Additional 1

Also you cannot have no selector..

CSS is applied through selectors..

Additional 2

You should use either the shorthand background to pass multiple values like this

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

or the verbose syntax of specifying each property on its own

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