background image in an external css file

[klemster]

Can somebody help, new to it and can't find what the problem is. I want an image to appear across the top of the screen as a banner.

#body{
background-image:
url('binary_background.jpg');
background-repeat: repeat-x
}

I have this in an external css, but it's displaying nothing.

i'm not aware you can from a CSS file, but i've never tried....

just lay it in a table cell....

EDIT: just googled it, yeah you can and your syntax looks correct except the first '#' sign, try removing it
