background-image: url(“images/plaid.jpg”) no-repeat; wont show up

Question

I can\'t seem to make my plaid.jpg the background on any of my pages, let alone all of them, I\'ve tried selecting it by body, html, *, the specific id of \"home\". nothing

Answer 1

If that really is all that's in your CSS file, then yes, nothing will happen. You need a selector, even if it's as simple as body:

body {
    background-image: url(...);
}
