my background url does not show in profile... Options

[rubicon]

i am trying to get my background to show in my layout but it is not working, i included the url in the code but something is obviously wrong, please help

<style type="text/css">


table, tr, td { background-color:transparent; border:none; border-width:0;}
body {
background-color:ff3100;
background-image url("http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/6583/orngbackgroundov2.gif");
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position:top left;
background-repeat:repeat;
border-color:000000;
border-width:8px ;
border-style: solid;

Replace that with this:

CODE

<style type="text/css">
table, tr, td { background-color:transparent; border:none; border-width:0;}
body {
    background-color:ff3100;
        background-image: URL ("http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/6583/orngbackgroundov2.gif");
    background-attachment: fixed;
    background-position:top left;
    background-repeat:repeat;
    border-color:000000;
    border-width:8px;
    border-style: solid;

You forgot to include the colon.

Also you might have to take out the " and " before the url. You might .

i tried both of those things w no luck...could it be because i added the background color also?? that background color is the same color as what is in the background of what im trying to load...i dont know if i need to just delete the background color or maybe i can just use "transparent" ?

I'm assuming you put </style> at the end of your code?

ok yes the problem is that my background is only loading from the color code that is in my code and the background url is being ignored....

i have tried deleting the " " that was wrapped around the url as suggested and i have tried using ' ' instead but neither have worked as the color code has a priority over the background url

CODE

background-image: ("http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/6583/orngbackgroundov2.gif");

try that?

Okay, I looked over all of your coding, and it is accurate. However, like you said, your background won't show up. By simply retyping the code exactly as you have it, though, I was able to get the bg to show up: http://www.myspace.com/98121239
