Css Background Not Showing Upin Ie

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:

CODE

body {
background-image: url(background.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat; 
}

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

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

try using:

CODE

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.

Anyway
Qutation marks doesn't work...
The file exist cause firefox can find it (just IE not)

Thanks

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

Use a .gif instead of a .jpg

This might work:

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

Chrome Background Colour
Css Background Not Showing Upin Ie

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

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

@charset “utf-8″;

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