Do you have the URL specified correctly? I'm thinking that there needs to be a leading slash, as in /Portals ...

You could also try putting in the full URL of the image just for testing.

If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll actually try testing this rather than taking the easy way out.

Did it, no luck again.

you can test it also on a fresh installation, just select the DNN-gray skin and try to set a backgroung image for the contentpane (or any other, non of it works...)

I opened up the skin.css file for the DNN-gray skin and set the content pane style to this:

.contentpane {
width: 100%;
background-color: transparent;
padding-left: 6px;
padding-right: 4px;
padding-top: 6px;
background-image: url(/Portals/5/red_leaf_fd_sm.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;

}

Then I copied the red_leaf_fd_sm.jpg file into /Portals/5 in my test site. It worked just fine.

If you place the file in the skin directory, then you can specifiy url(red_leaf_fd_sm.jpg) in the style definition. This is how Lee does things in the Red Leaf Skin tutorial, and I think that it makes sense to keep everything together, assuming that you think of the background image as part of the skin rather than as part of the site.

Take a look at http://jncraig.com/test/Gray/tabid/...fault.aspx to see this in action.

Yesss! now it works fine.

Thank you, you're fast and efficient !
