why is my css background tranparent?

I am using a image as a background. Here is the CSS for the div

#bkground {
    width: 1100px;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    background: url(images/carbon_fiber2.jpg开发者_如何学Python) ;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: center top;
    /*background: black;*/
}

In firebug it shows up as

#bkground {
    background: url("images/carbon_fiber2.jpg") no-repeat scroll center top transparent;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    width: 1100px;
}

Where does the tranparent setting come from and how can I have the image show up properly?

Thanks

Definitely a bad path, the image shows it to be at http://www.racefightclub.com/dev/css/images/carbon_fiber2.jpg

it should be http://www.racefightclub.com/dev/images/carbon_fiber2.jpg

so either make it ../images/carbon_fiber2.jpg

or probably /dev/images/carbon_fiber2.jpg

And this is because you are referencing the image path from within your css folder.

I think the transparent bit, is referring to the background colour, you can have a colour (as a backup if the image isn't found) and an image. Firebug is just adding the defaults that are applied that you haven't overriden. And the default for background-color is transparent. The image should still show up though if it's found, so I'm guessing it's not and instead the transparent background-color is being shown.

First thing I notice is that your image url is not in quotation marks in the css. I'd try that first.

So,

background: url('images/carbon_fiber2.jpg') ;

See comments, I've been reliably informed that quotes are not required.

Then, just a hunch, but are you including the css from a page on the root directory of your site? If not, you may need to make the path absolute, i.e.

background: url('/images/carbon_fiber2.jpg') ;
