Background Image

My website (http://sosfb.saveourstraysfortbend.org/) is based on the art42-businessblue2 skin. I have a background image (/images/SOS Website Background w Prints.png) that I would like to be a full page background image. I have tried:

html {

/* added this */
  background: url('images/SOS Website Background w Prints.png') no-repeat center center fixed; 
  -webkit-background-size: cover;
  -moz-background-size: cover;
  -o-background-size: cover;
  background-size: cover;

/* this was already here*/
  -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;
   /* 2 */
  -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;
  /* 2 */}

but it is not displaying the image. Do you have any suggestions on how I can get this image to display?

 

Thanks.

Re: Background Image

one thing

don't use spaces in any file name for files used in web sites, those have to be escaped with ugly escape characters in the url. use dash or underscore instead.

this applies to images, skin folder names, js files, css files or anything used in web sites

that may actually be the problem you are having in this case, so try changing that, otherwise you probably also need the escape characters in the url used in the css that points to the image
