CSS: IMG not displaying despite being located in the right place
Question
I cannot get the image I want to be displayed on my HTML page. I believe my css links correctly, I also believe my image links correctly. I am unsure if this is a "image not located in the right place" type of issue, or if I am simply not using "background-image: url" correctly.
I just want the image to display on my html page. Please advise.
CSS:
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
header{
/* why won't this work? */
background-image: url(img\background.jpg);
height: 100vh;
background-size: cover;
background-position: center;
}
/* header {
background-color: linen;
} */
h1 {
color: maroon;
margin-left: 40px;
}
Directory structure: HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<!-- I have no idea what these do -->
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
<meta name="description" content="">
<meta name="author" content="">
<title>Kacie Ahmed</title>
<!-- Link to my stylesheet -->
<link href="css/webpage.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<header>
<div class="row">
<ul class="main-nav">
<li> <a href=""> HOME</li>
<li> <a href=""> ABOUT ME</li>
<li> <a href="">EXPERIENCE</li>
<li> <a href="">SKILLS</li>
</ul>
</header>
</body>
</html>

Your directory is incorrect. You need to change your url() to be:
background-image: url('../img/background.jpg');
The ../ means go out of the css folder, the img/ means go into the img folder, and the background.jpg means use the background.jpg image.
header{
background-image: url('../img/background.jpg');;
height: 100vh;
background-size: cover;
background-position: center;
}
Also, note that you should use forward slashes ( / ) rather than backslashes ( \\ ) and your url should be wrapped within quotes (as a string)

The Url of your image is not correct, use / instead of \\ .
You also forgot the </div> close tag for the <div class="row">
