Background-repeat in a div only, Part 2

[Susan]

This code should repeat a gif that measures 545-pixels wide by 18 pixels
high along the left edge of the division, but it doesn't show up at all.

Here's the definition of the div in the stylesheet:

#rails {
position: absolute;
top:69px;
left:50px;
width:545px;
height:720px;
background-image: url(Images/rail.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
}

Here's the division in the html page:
<div id="rails">
</div>

But the background gif doesn't show at all. Thanks for any ideas.

Is the Images folder
a) written with a capital I?
b) inside the folder that the stylesheet is in?

Thank you. The answer was that it should read background-image:
url(../Images/rail.gif) because the folders were both at the same level.
Thanks for your comments, now it works.
