Wrapper Background

[Historical Forums User]

Hey, I’m working on a css website and the wrapper doesn’t show me the background-image or color. It’s all blank. I’ve used the same code before and it somehow works..

I want a wallpaper to cover the full width and height.. no scrolling required.

you need to give the body and html a height of 100%. Their default heights are auto, so the #wrapper’s 100% height is 100% of the body which is only long enough to contain the children – in this case, nothing.

you haven’t correctly closed the first link element.
you’ve used css comments in the html – and they don’t belong inside a tag.
don’t use old style attributes (on the body tag) – use css

Hey, thanks, this works only if I use a http link for the image.. I somehow can’t get it to work with the images stored on my comp. Any help with that?
