Trish I’ll probably need to see both your html and css for the entire page to know for certain what’s causing the issue. Feel free to email me the code or link to the page if it’s online.

Try using the shorthand.

background: url(“_images/bg2.jpg”) repeat;

You shouldn’t need to set the background-position here since top left is the default.

Do you see the image at all? Is the issue that you only see it once, but it won’t repeat or are you not seeing the image even once?

I am having a terrible time getting my background to repeat. I have varying lengths of pages in my site i’m building (using wordpress with my own css custom theme) and for some reason, the repeat is not working. here is my code:

#wrapper {
width: 1024px;
min-width: 1024px;
min-height: 900px;
background-image: url(_images/bg2.jpg);
background-position: top left;
background-repeat: repeat;
background-attachment: scroll;
margin:auto;
}

i would LOVE and appreciate any input. i’m so baffled as to why this isnt working for me!

note: i’ve tried adjusting the min-height, adding just a height line, etc. i want the background to be able to vary in length with the specific pages. Isnt there a code to allow not a fixed height and have it repeat??

thank you!!!

Thanks Steven, a big help for a newbie like me. I am having problems with nesting background images within elements. For example my footer background image loves sitting in the middle of the page. I have sent an email asking for help. I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Glad I could help Phil. If you have more css questions feel free to ask them via the comment form or by the email on the contact page. They both go to the same place. If you have a few questions I can write another post like this one.
