help me!!
Hey, Im not new, but i'v like never posetedd, anyways...
I cannot FOR THE LIFE OF ME get the background image code to work.
I used to have it on my page, and then I took it off. I can't get it to work again, what am I doing wrong?

the code I am using is:

<style type="text/css">
<!-- body {
background-image:(http://members.fortunecity.com/ggllooww/glowbg.copy.gif);
</style>

You forgot the URL word and the ending comment code and the ending bracket...

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
background-image: url(http://members.fortunecity.com/ggllooww/glowbg.copy.gif);
}
-->
</style>

I'm not sure the server allows direct/hot/remote linking.

Thanks guys! :)

And, yes, it does. I use the server for all my other images, and they work.

Mmm, okay, because I tried it and all I'm seeing is the Fortunecity logo.

Yeah, that is what happened when I was viewing the page through the preview box thing, but, when you actaully view the site, it works. Anyway, I uploaded the image to a different server.
If you really want to see it, you can click on my website link thing(sorry if saying this isn't allowed.)

Oh, and sorry if how I said that thing earlier sounded rude, I didn't mean it to.

How odd, lol. Glad you got to work though! Good luck with your site!

i didnt think it was rude, it just struck me as odd that I couldn't see it :)
