    copied!<p>I'm using the following css to define my background:</p> <pre><code>body { background-image: url('background.png'); font-size: 12pt; font-family: Veranda, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } </code></pre> <p>The image <code>background.png</code> is stored in the root directory, but whenever I refresh the webpage, the background remains white. MY instructor currently has a copy of my files and is attempting to figure it out himself, though the problem wasn't obvious to him at a cursory glance. My full html and css are as follows:</p> <p>HTML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt; &lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="content-type" content = "text/html charset = utf-8" /&gt; &lt;link rel = stylesheet href = "style.css" type = "text/css" media = screen&gt; &lt;title&gt; Title &lt;/title&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;div id = "wrapper"&gt; &lt;div id = "leftsidebar"&gt; &lt;h3&gt; Navigation &lt;/h3&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id = "content"&gt; &lt;h1&gt; Heading 1 &lt;/h1&gt; &lt;h2&gt; Heading 2 &lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p align = "justify"&gt; Paragraph 1.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align = "justify"&gt; Paragraph 2 &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align = "justify"&gt; Paragraph 3 &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>CSS:</p> <pre><code>&lt;style type = "text/css"&gt; &lt;!-- body { background-image: url('background.png'); font-size: 12pt; font-family: Veranda, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } div#wrapper { width: 80%; margin-top: 50px; margin-bottom: 50px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; border: thin solid #000000; } div#header { padding: 15px; margin: 0px; text-align: centre; } div#leftsidebar { width: 25%; padding: 10px; margin-top: 1px; float: left; } div#content { margin-left: 30%; margin-top: 1px; padding: 10px; } div#footer { padding: 15px; margin: 0px; border-top: thin solid #000000; } --&gt; &lt;/style&gt; </code></pre>
