Please could somebody help me feel like less of a complete idiot.
Following the advice of people who know what they're talking about, I have abandoned MS Front Page and MS Publisher and am trying to teach myself pure HTML and CSS.
Trouble is, I can't get past the following snag on my very first project.
I want to use an image I have as a background, but every time, Firefox 2.0.0.7 returns an error that says: "Error in parsing value for background-image. Declaration dropped."
The style sheet entry reads:
body { background-image: url ("images/lines.jpg"); }
The HTML entry in the head area reads:
<link href="style/style.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
I've opened the image in Photoshop and it's a JPG in RGB, 8 bits per channel, and has worked previously on a website.
I've checked the file slug and file location and everything else I can think of, but I'm stumped.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
