CSS background image won’t load

You might want to try adding that to the #wrap part of the
css.

#wrap {
background: #f5f5f5 url(images/background.jpg) repeat-y center;
text-align:left;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 749px;
}


And the image is set at 900px wide..you might want to lower that a little bit, so the very inner edges of the tan image, just make it flush with the outter edges of the actual wrap.

Meaning, your whitespace on the image is at 764px in size…just hack off the difference of:
764px
749px-
=====
15px total

But leave the brown sides on each side alone, just bring them in closer to center..15px difference. I’ll try and make one for ya lmao!…

Prolly an image the total of 887px wide by 36px high..

Yeah, that worked, but I don’t understand why it didn’t work on the body tag when it works on my local machine.

I’m a bit confused as to how I would lower the width of the image — what do you mean by that?

*EDIT* Well I dunno, I just checked it again in a higher res and it seems fine…but just in 800×600 like I usually use..it’s just tan there.. no gradient of the image is seen at all..mmm..

Also depends on what you’re using. The res setting I mean..I’d just leave it alone, since maybe 90% of the viewers might be at a higher res setting.

On the image you have maybe just make the gradient a tad bit smaller. Not so spread out to a 69px width on each side once to..

Jesus! I’m not thinking straight now…lol! Damn I hate being sober and tired sometimes lmao!

Awesome, thanks. I’ll just hedge my bets and leave it like this. It looks the same. Any idea why the body background didn’t work, though? I can’t figure it out…

Here’s one to try:

Just change the main background color to this once:#a59e8c

That should look cool on all Res settings..

I’m not sure, there’s two background css settings.. but the #wrap one is what’s really the main blog’s content section as far as I know..your image is made to hug it on the outsides “persay”..

Hrm… how odd. It seems to have screwed up again! The background isn’t loading! Argh…

*EDITED* Whatever you have done or changed, just change it back once. =) Should work ok again..


body {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: #333;
text-align:center;
margin-top: 0px;
/*background: #f5f5f5 url('background.jpg') repeat-y center top;*/
}


That’s commented out..try this once:


body {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: #333;
text-align:center;
margin-top: 0px;
background: #f5f5f5 url('background.jpg') repeat-y center top;
}

and I dunno if you wanna try it again, but re-add it here once:

/* the main wrap div */

#wrap {
background: #f5f5f5 url('background.jpg') repeat-y center top;
text-align:left;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 749px;
}

Try mine once lol..I think it’d look cool!

With background color of: #a59e8c

The line is commented out. Remove /*...*/

He must have gone to bed or just logged off, but yeah Kassad, I had already told him that above before your reply lol!

body {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: #333;
text-align:center;
margin-top: 0px;
/*background: #f5f5f5 url(‘background.jpg’) repeat-y center top;*/
}

That’s commented out..replace with this:

body {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: #333;
text-align:center;
margin-top: 0px;
background: #f5f5f5 url(‘background.jpg’) repeat-y center top;
}

But, he had it before, he just must have done something again with it… :/

Yeah, I commented out the background, and then went to bed. I can’t understand why it’s still not working… ??

It seems to be working now with the third image and the darker background (it looks better, too!)…

I’m not game to start messing around again. ?? I guess it’ll be a mystery why it wasn’t working before… ??

Hell yeah! That looks alot better now lol! =) Ok, like ya said, no messing around again hahaha… =)

spencerp

Just looked at the IMAGERY, NOT the codes lol…but the left side imagery gradient is a tad bit off I think…or maybe it’s my gf’s shitty monitor..mmm. I’m not sure lol.. But, I’d leave it alone for now.

Thanks for all your help, spencerp. Much appreciated. ??

No problem liam. =) Yeah, for the most part, that image looks much better then before though. =)

spencerp

Oops lmao! I had mixed posts up and had to re-edit this quick hahaha… =)
