I’m trying to put a background in each of my list items doesn’t seem to be working…

This is the site. I’m trying to put the background which is in images/cloud.png
I check chrome dev tool and shows that it recognizes the image.

It’s because the image is way too large for that small LI/A area; the anchors in the LI’s are only 23 pixels high, but the image you’re using is much larger than that.

You could try and add this to the #menu a anchor:

background-size: 100% 100%;

Thank you that makes sense, I did try setting a height and width but that didn’t work.

The clouds gets cut off (on the left side) when I do this. I’m trying to put the text in the center of the cloud image background.

I can’t find the cloud image in your images folder…have you removed it?

Found out actually it was a padding and margin issue.
