Odd BG Image behavior

TheConeHead · Dec 3, 2004

I am trying to give a div a bg image but it seems to be applying it to the body... any reason why?

Code:

<div style="padding-left:150px; width:698px; height:534px; background-image: url(images/bg.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat;">

</div>

as I said, the bg image is getting applied to the body and not the div....

This applies correct background images to correct elements for me in IE6, Mozilla and Opera 7+.

Code:

<html>
 <head>
  <style>
   body {
	background: url(pic1.jpg);
   }
  </style>
 </head>
 <body>
   <div style="padding-left:150px; width:698px; height:534px; background-image: url(pic2.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat;">
   </div>
 </body>
</html>
