Re: Re: An HTML/CSS question

Hello, if you use a browser with Developer tools, you can probably see in the console or in the network tab an error message, e.g. "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http:// www.example.com/var/www/Webpages2/Images/background3.jpeg ". It can help you debug.
