Webmaster Forum / HTML, CSS, Scripts / CSS / August 2003

I can't insert an image using the "add a new stylesheet" function- the
function, on dreamweaver MX (i'm on Windows 2k Pro) seems to work as it
generates the code... but the image never shows up in the background. I've
tried it on multiple HTML pages.
I've even tried taking the BG image out and seeing if just setting a black
BG color works - it doesn't.

If I add in the BACKGROUND="" to the BODY tag manually, it works fine.
Everything else in DW seems to be working fine. I can insert images, etc..
no problem.

Here's the code DW generates:
<!--
.OilSlickBG {
background-image: url(images/BG_oil_slick.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
-->

Even if I have this code in there along with EITHER-
< BODY BACKGROUND="image.gif">
OR if i type in this...
BODY {background:url(images/BG_oil_slick.jpg) background-repeat: no-repeat;}
...within the stylesheet tags, the image will appear but will still
tile/repeat if i go up to screen resolution 1152x864

Any ideas as to what could help me here?
Thanks in advance,
Matt
