<style>
BODY {background-image: url("marble.gif") }
</style>

<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-gb">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Recipe</title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta name="Microsoft Border" content="r, default">
<LINK REL=StyleSheet HREF="StyleSheet.css" TYPE="text/css" MEDIA=screen>
</head>
<body>

The image is there and works when placed in the web page as

<body background="marble.gif">

I notice you left out the images/ part of the url. Where is
the gif? In the images folder?

What is the name of your stylesheet? StyleSheet.css or
stylesheet.css? It's better to not use uppercase letters in
filenames. And why are you placing <style> and </style> around
your code in the stylesheet? This might well be the problem.
Inside the stylesheet, there is no html. So you start from the
top, writing body {....} etc. The <style> tags are just
trouble when inside the stylesheet.

Is your css file really called StyleSheet.css or is it stylesheet.css?

If it is then a URL is required.

Er, why do gifs have to be in an "images" folder? A terrible lot of mine
aren't.

They don't have to be, but if they are, he'd better use
(images/marble.gif) instead of just (marble.gif).

It's from his previous post that I get the idea that the gif
is in the images folder :)

Are you allowed to quote urls? I thought it was supposed to be without
quotes.

I don't know, really...
I never use quotes on them though. I'll look it up later, you
got me curious now :)

I placed the image in both directories to try that out as well. The image and
it's path are ok.

In the web page I have

<LINK REL=StyleSheet HREF="StyleSheet.css" TYPE="text/css" MEDIA=screen>
<body>
Am I missing something here?

Cut the confusion, change your filename to all lowercase, and do the same in
the markup. *never* use uppercase characters in your filenames when working
online - it just asks for problems like this. It's also a good idea to keep
your HTML in lowercase too - it'll make the migration to XHTML easier when
you are ready to move on from vanilla HTML.

This is why it's always best to post an url so people can look for you. Some
would have pointed that out in 3 seconds flat. ;)

So, you have wasted all of our time. Your thanks are refused.

Why did you not post a URL to the site right up front. Any one of us that
wasted our time replying to you and any one of the other probably hundreds
of people that did not reply but puzzled over your problem would have
spotted the problem IMMEDIATELY.

And if you really had </strle> in your style sheet you are doubly dammed!

Bah, Humbug. Sometimes I wonder why I donate my time to this newsgroup :-(

Got your point. But it seems to me the OP is not very precise in
his presentation of the problem. That's why I asked him where
the gif was.

I can understand your frustration. However I am sure that I speak for others
when I say that I have found your posts useful, informative, and sometimes
entertaining.

I hope that you shall continue to post here.

I do that so if I'm looking to update a specific file I don't have to wade
through all the image files, which I rarely have to update.

Well, admittedly Els did suggest that could be the problem. Of course I
totally agree on the posting a URL bit. :)
