Just another smugger with a banner problem

[Wannabeageek]

Please help a newbie who tried to do everything right but still can't figure out why my banner doesn't show up. I followed the tutorial, then tried everything in the flow chart, read the faqs and looked at all the other posts for ideas. Still nada.

Here's what's in my css box:

#Banner_2 {
width: 750px;
height: 150px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(http://LostGatos.smugmug.com/photos/300722934_YypEp-x3.jpg) no repeat;
}

The only thing that looks weird to me is that the url that points to my banner ends in _YypEp-x3.jpg instead of -L.jpg.

Thanks for your help!

Hi :)

The "x" towards the end of your link should be upper case, i.e., X3.jpg. Also, the correction dimensions are width: 554 and height: 135. Try replacing what you have with this:

#Banner_2 {
width: 554px;
height: 135px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(http://LostGatos.smugmug.com/photos/300722934_YypEp-X3.jpg) no-repeat;
}

try changing the link to
http://LostGatos.smugmug.com/photos/...4_YypEp-s.jpg (http://lostgatos.smugmug.com/photos/300722934_YypEp-x3.jpg))
or better yet, what are the dimensions of the banner image file itself in pixels?

Wow... thanks, Barb. It worked.
You made it look soooooo easy, too. I guess that's what makes you a "hero".
:bow
