尽管使用本地或外部链接，我的背景图像仍无法加载

Question

Here's html file:

<section>
    <div id="section1" class="container">
    </div>
</section>

Here's the css:

#section1{
    height: auto;
    margin-top: 0px;
    background-image: url('bg-1.jpg');
    background-position: center;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    width: 100%;
}

I tried to replace the url with an external link (from google) but it still failed to load

Use your browser's Developer Tools to inspect and understand what might be happening. Maybe the element is being drawn with zero hight, for example, or maybe the network connection failed. In Chrome, right click on the page and click Inspect Element and then navigate around various tabs (such as Elements , Network , Console , etc.), refresh the page, and keep looking at the information that the Developer Tools panel gives you. This will be the easiest and most reliable way to understand how your page is being rendered, how resources are being downloaded, and what the issues may be.

Other browsers (Safari, Edge, Firefox) also have similar Developer Tools panels that you can turn on and inspect your page. I'm most familiar with Chrome's tools and find them extremely useful for debugging my webpages.
