Hi

I have created my .html and .css pages. The text seems to work ok, but for some reason i cant get the background image to work, or the background color. Does anyone know why this is?

CSS:

body {
	background image: url(/home/~unn_t005763/Images/bg.png);
	background color: #ff3300;
	font family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
	
}

h1 {font family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
	font size: 26px;
	font color: #000000;
	 }
	 
h2 {font family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
	font size: 14px;
	font color: #000000
	
	}

HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<link href="test.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<html>
<head>
<title>University advice</title>
</head>

<body>
<h1> Welcome to University Advice </h1>
<br> <br>

<h2>Here, you will find all that you need to know about applying, preparing and coping with University.
</h2>

</body> </html>

body{
	background image: url(/home/~unn_t005763/Images/bg.png);
	background color: #ff3300;
	font family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
	
}

should be

body{
	background-image: url(/home/~unn_t005763/Images/bg.png);
	background-color: #ff3300;
	font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
	
}

does it work now?

Remember, all css names with multiple words have hyphens.

like font-family, line-height, font-weight, margin-left, padding-right and so on, they all do (:
