Background-image not showing

Just started learning html and Css, so I experiment along as i learn. Today i stumbled upon background -image and background-color, so I decided to try it out. Below is the code I tried out. style> div { background-image: url ("img/fkk.png"); } </style> Now that code above does not work, so i decided to add background-color to it to see if the problem was from somewhere else. Code below. style> div { background-image: url "img/fkk.png"; background-color: gray; } </style> Now, here, the color worked but the image still does not work, even if i remove the background-color property. The image folder is correct cause I tried it out on the page with the <img> tag and it appeared. So what could be the problem? Thanks for your time.

Ninety5 If image is with Html file then path should be <img src = "abc.jpg"/> if image is in another folder and that folder is with Html file then path should be <img src = "folder/abc.jpg"/> if image is in another folder and Html file is in another folder but both folder are in same folder then image path will be <img src = "../folder/abc.jpg"/>

Ninety5 Image path is wrong and please don't write inappropriate language anywhere.

You have to only write background:url("path of image"); attributes not background-image

background-image:url("parent-folder/child.format"); Ensure cases, spellings match.... Double quotes in parentheses ending with semicolon

Dheeraj Sharma 🇮🇳 the image folder is in the same folder as the .html file and the folder that houses the folder that houses the CSS file. Like this. |-image folder/image Folder- - |-.html file |-folder/folder/.css file

AJ #Infinity Love No Sir. On a mobile editor (ACode). The folders are created on my mobile.

AJ #Infinity Love Yes, that works for adding the image to the html page, but when i try to make it my background-image either through embedded css or external css, the image does not appear as my background-image.

Remove /img and Apply only ("fkk.png"); This will Work Perfectly
