And if you can t repeat the background image  for esthetic reasons    then this handy JQuery plugin will stretch the background image to  fit the window   Backstretch http   srobbin com jquery-plugins backstretch   Works great      Cheers

Is your image on the same folder directory as your css file  If so  your image url is correct  Otherwise  it s not    If by any chance your folder structure is like so     webpage  -index html -css - - style css - images - - background png  then to reference the image on your css file you should use the following path      images background png  So that would be background  url     images background png     The logic is simple  Go up one folder by typing        as many times as you need   Go down one folder by specifying the folder you wish to go down to

Adding background image on html  body or a wrapper element to achieve background image will cause problems with padding  Check this ticket https   github com twitter bootstrap issues 3169 on github  ShaunR s comment and also one of the creators response to this  The given solution in created ticket doesn t solve the problem  but it at least gets things going if you aren t using responsive features   Assuming that you are using container without responsive features  and have a width of 960px  and want to achieve 10px padding  you set    container      min-width  940px     padding  10px

Put the background url in quotes   It should be background  url  background png     See here for working demo   You also have an issue with the background-repeat line missing a semicolon in between two statements  If your background is really tiny you won t see it because of that issue   Just to update on the solution  among the other issues  the background file was being refrenced with     background jpg when it should have been    background jpg  2 dots  not 3

For more modularity and in case you have many background images that you want to incorporate wherever you want you can for each image create a class     background-image1     background  url image1 jpg       background-image2     background  url image2 jpg        and then insert the image wherever you want by adding a div   lt div class  background-image1  gt       lt div class  page-header text-center   style  margin  20px 0 0px   gt            lt h1 gt blabaaboabaon lt  h1 gt       lt  div gt   lt  div gt

isn t the problem the following line is incorrect as the statement for background-repeat isn t closed before the next statement for display     background-repeat no-repeatdisplay  compact    Shouldn t this be   background-repeat no-repeat  display  compact    adding or removing quotes  in my experience  makes no difference if the URL is correct  Is the path to the image correct  If you give a relative path to a resource in a CSS it s relative to the CSS file  not the file including the CSS
