Background Image won't show up in CSS unless I load an image using the tag in HTML?

You need to specify a width and height for your div Also, make sure you close your CSS: pic { background:url('

You need to specify a width and height for your div. Also, make sure you close your CSS: #pic { background:url('

Put Height and width in your css class. Please view demo here.

There is no such thing as a "css class", that is a rule set (which doesn't even have a class selector). Classes are an HTML concept, not a CSS one. – Quentin Jan 8 at 10:38.

You need a closing brace before #pic has a width and height of zero, so the background won't show. Either put content in the div, or set a width and height. Check it out working, here: jsfiddle.net/UzcDM/1.

Thank you. I think I'm just overly tired. I can't believe I missed the bracket :\ – Michael Jan 8 at 10:34.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
