Left Side Bar Panel background image?

[Haak]

I have trying to add a background image to the leftsidebarpanel of the three column layout using the the css file for my selected theme with no luck. I seem to be able to change the color but when I add css code like on the next line

background: url(images/header_icons.gif) repeat-y;

to add a background image I get a random blue background. I do get rid of the css code that adds a background color but whether or not I keep or get rid of the background color the image never shows up?

Any suggestions ideas?

Thanks,
Hawk

instead of removing the background color try
background-color:Transparent

Hmmm, is your image stored in the right folder? it should be in "App_Themes/youthemefolder/images".

Just a thought, this happened to me once.

Thanks guys for the reply's. I had a typo! of course So the changes I made before worked but had the wrong name for the image.
