Default Theme 1.4.6.2 Background issue

[Forkboy]

Ok not sure if this is the right place to post this but I've tried searching the forums but nothing seems to apply to my problem.

 

I am trying to add a background image to the site, I have added it to the global.css file but when I implement it to the site I loose all the side column top and bottom image backgrounds.

 

I know it going to be something stupid to fix my problem but I can't figure out what I'm missing (and where)

 

this is what I added (in red)

 

body {

background: url('backgroundv2.jpg') no-repeat;

font-size: 11px;

font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;

color: #5d717e;

text-align: center

}

 

any idea?

Try next, also try to use png instead jpg

 

body {

background-color: white;

background: url('../img/backgroundv2.jpg') no-repeat;

font-size: 11px;

font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;

color: #5d717e;

text-align: center

}

Thanks for the reply, It's not the directory that is the issue (I uploaded it to the css folder so background: url('backgroundv2.jpg') no-repeat; is correct)

I will try the png but I think it has something to do with the "background" attribute just not sure why.

Any other ideas? I thought the forums where here to help?
