Hey, its a stupid problem. Ive just started to learn and code in CSS, i just started now, but my background is not showing, anyone know why, heres my code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
      background-image: url("image/stripes.png");
	  background-repeat: repeat;
     }
.wrap {
       margin-left: auto;
	   mergin-right: auto;
	   width: 1000px;
	   }
.header {
         background-image: url("images/banner.png");
		 background-repeat: no-repeat;
		 background-position: center;
		 height: 120px;
		 width: 100%;
		 }


</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="wrap">
<div class="header" align="center">
</div>

My CSS is internal at the moment, just to make it slightly easier as its my first css site. My header is showing fine, but the background isn't.

Sorry I can't help further, but I too am only intermediate, but there are a lot of very knowledgeable people on here who will be along soon.

I have spotted a little mistake in .wrap though, it says mergin instead of margin.

(Don't worry about finding problems..... I do all the time :rolleyes:

Yes, when you get an obvious problem like this you can be looking at your code for ages scratching your head, the first thing you should do is check for any spelling mistakes or syntax errors, as this usually tends to be the case!
