I am getting on well with this starter kit, but a background image has all of a sudden stopped showing up.

I don’t believe its something I have done as I have a similar two-column file that is still working a treat. I’ve not messed with the reference or anything, but for some reason the image is no longer firing.

background:url(../../images/bg-three-column-main.png) repeat-y;

Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone have a suggestion.

The browser will look for that image in reference to where that CSS file is saved.

Meaning if your css file was in:

websites/stuff/css

that image must be in:

website/images

Hi;

I had some like that happen to me too. It was ok on my xp pro machine but when I deployed on the production server, I couldn't see my images. It was due to security on iis. I just added a web.config file in the images folder and allowed access to anonymous user.

Make sure that it is located 2 directories above the location of your style sheet in the images folder (did the orginal image get deleted or over wrote).

You can also add an images directory to your theme folder and copy the image in there and change the line like so:

background:url(images/bg-three-column-main.png) repeat-y;

this method is better when adding multiple themes to the site that may change dynamically according to who logged in.
