How do I set an image background via css inside style.css file?

I have an image that'd like to show as a background via css rule inside the style.css file. At the moment, the code is as such: "background-image: url('../images/mobile_hands_pills.png') no-repeat center center;". Why is it that the image isn't showing? Thanks, Alex

It's almost certainly because the image URL isn't right. Give me some example code and what files are in play here?

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for getting back to me, and I apologies for the belated replay.

You are right! The URL was totally wrong, and so now it's working ;).
