Problems with CSS and Backgrounds

[SSonnier]

I am trying to use css to put a no repeating background on a site.
I have a file style.css that contains the following

background {
background-image: url(images/background.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position-x: center;
background-position-y: center;
}

The background image does not show in IE 5.5 or Netscaoe 6.0. I've even tried putting it in the header. Any idea of what I'm doing wrong? I know this must be simple.

Thanks!!!

redefine the body tag,

body {
background-image: url(images/background.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
}

no need for FAQ
just some logic here

background-position: left top;

much like u would use a cell to allign things inside of it...limiting since u can't adjust position to its "perfection"

while

background-position-x: should be a value in pixels;
background-position-y: should be a value in pixels;
based on coordinate system.
OR just in place both coordinates in one line
eg.

background-position: 330px 200px;

gives more freedom to image adjustements .....browsers you mentioned process it just fine.
HTH

All the best!
