Thank you for your reply, I checked my code and it does in fact have what you suggested.

http://www.imagelocation.com/images/background.jpg.

Could there be something else I am missing?

The image loads up fine if I type the image url into IE, Firefox, etc.

You should quote that URL. Nevertheless, if I complete the code you posted and paste it into a HTML document, the background shows. So what about giving us the URL to the page that gives you problems?

I have the same problem. For some reason my background image doesn't show up. The image is there, and it looks fine offline in my HTML editor, but for some reason its not visible on the web. I tried everything, can someone help me?

The code is:

<tr bgcolor="#ffffff">
<td colspan="3" background="images/box_solar.jpg;" style="background-repeat: no-repeat;" width="737px" height="211px"> MicroFIT Rooftop Installations 
If you own a residential house or small building, this is the option for you. Trillium Solar provides a full-turnkey service, taking care of all aspects of the projects.

Semicolon is a delimiter in CSS. You use the HTML attribute 'background' and the semicolon makes the URL invalid.

Either go with the background in HTML like so...

HTML

Or since you already partially use CSS. you can just as well move the background image there too.

HTML

Or shorter like son(change the color to what's suitable).

HTML

You should use a doctype and then you should validate your markup. That will help you find more errors.

Also, this is one of the reasons why we ask for a URL to sample page. Neither of your examples above shows the markup you really use. I'm not picking on you, just explaining.
