    <BODY TEXT=#000000 style=background-image: url(images/redbg.jpg); LINK=#0000FF VLINK=#800080 ALINK=#FF0000>

    I cant get my background image to show up. It defaults to a white background. This is a HTML string in a CGI fille that is called from clicking a link on the main index page.

    Seems to me like you forgot the " s

    <BODY TEXT="#000000" style="background-image: url(images/redbg.jpg);" LINK="#0000FF" VLINK="#800080" ALINK="#FF0000">

    Ah, I'm sorry. :)

    Have you tried removing the space between "background-image:" and "url(images/redbg.jpg);" ?

    it was the positioning of the background tag.

    <BODY background="/images/redbg.jpg" TEXT=#000000 LINK=#0000FF VLINK=#800080 ALINK=#FF0000>
