changing header in .css

[outern]

When i change the header target in the .css script. It wont change to the new image header. It just go blank instead. I am sure it is in the right spot and so on.


#logo {
width: 1036px;
height: 204px;
background: url(images/header.jpg) repeat-x;
}

Try refreshing the view in whatever program you are using. Sometimes it doesn't recognize a new file being added to the directory.

If refreshing doesn't work, just restart the program.

what are you changing it from and what to? If you give us the original and edited code we can diagnose the problem.

Thanks

Orginal:

#logo {
width: 1036px;
height: 204px;
background: url(images/header.jpg) repeat-x;
}

New:

#logo {
width: 1036px;
height: 204px;
background: url(images/header2.jpg) repeat-x;
}


I just want to change to another header named header2.jpg in the images folder.

I have tried restarting th eprogram and so on, It didn`t help. it has the same size as the last header.

Newerer:

#logo {
width: 1036px;
height: 204px;
background-image: url(images/header2.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}

Should work. Unless it's supposed to be /images/header

I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but try putting single quotes (') around the image filepath.

ie. background-image: url('images/header2.jpg');

try using the original code and just copy over the header.jpg file with your new file. If it still doesn't display try looking at it with firebug or something - that should let you know what's wrong.

Can you give us a link?

I never add [''] in the image location. It may not break the code but I don't think that is correct syntax.

As far as breaking the background element into seperate sections (color, image, etc.), this is just the long hand version. Using [background:color url() repeat attachment position] in one line just shortens your css. Neither method is incorrect though.

Are you using a button to change the header? what triggers the change?
