Having some stupid web design trouble, need help.?

Question by KPizzle: Having some stupid web design trouble, need help.?

So yeah, basically I haven’t even really added anything yet. All I’m trying to do is get a background color and a background image set and to repeat horizontally in a external style sheet. I can’t seem to find any errors in my XHTML file and everything seems like it should. I did link the file in the XHTML so I don’t know whats happening, maybe I did something wrong, I don’t know. I can’t find the problem. When I upload it to my host to see if it works, absolutely nothing comes up, not the colors, nor the image. I’m not very good at web design yet, so any tips will also be appreciated.

Here’s the XHTML part of it:

And here’s the style sheet link:

Take out the # sign in the CSS.

You only use a number sign if you are referring to a div’s id, like if you had done this:

Then, you would have to refer to that by #body. When you just want to address the actual body of your HTML, you don’t use it.
