    Hi,

    I’ve been working my way through my first theme with screencast #26

    For some reason though, I am not able to get to my background image to show (and reapeat-x).

    Using XXAMP and localhost, I have copied Chris’s recommended CSS reset, but still no luck.

    My conclusion is that I’ve done something wrong with the CSS (or it’s something in the header??)

    Here’s my CSS – can you see anything wrong? (Header CSS is below that)
    +++++++++++++++

    /*
    RESET
    */

    * { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
    html { overflow-y: scroll; }
    html, body { height: 100%; }
    body { font-size: 62.5%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #272727; background: url(‘/images/header_bg.png’) top center repeat-x white; }
    ul { list-style: square inside; }
    ol { list-style: decimal inside; }
    a { outline: none; text-decoration: none; }
    a img { border: none; }
    img { vertical-align: middle; }
    table { border-collapse: collapse; }

    /*
    UTILITY
    */

    .floatLeft { float: left; }
    .floatRight { float: right; }
    .clear { clear: both; }
    .button { border: 1px solid #272727; background: white; padding: 3px 8px; -moz-border-radius: 5px; -webkit-border-radius: 5px; color: #272727; }
    .button:hover { background: #990000; color: white; }

    /*
    STRUCTURE
    */

    #page-wrap { width: 960px; margin: 0px auto -250px; min-height: 100%; height: auto !important; height: 100%; }
    #push { height: 250px; }

    <?php wp_head(); ?>

    </head>

    <body>

    <h1>

    Thx – problem solved.

    Part of the problem was that I was redirecting to a reset file from the style.css
    File permissions may have been a issue too.
