WP Background Image OMG/WTF

[fm1234]

Messing around with an XHTML template I was converting to WP:

Template Preview (thermal) - Free CSS Templates

Here it is on my site:

Playing

For some reason the page div simply will not display the background image it is assigned. Things that are already checked off on the list of shit to try/check:

1) The image exists and is spelled correctly etc. In fact the image for the background of the menu div is the same as for the page div, and it shows fine there.

2) The body background image is not overriding the page background -- I even tried changing it to the page background and it wouldn't show that way either.

3) The index.php file has the divs correctly placed as far as I can tell. Experimented with moving the brackets of page and/or content divs a couple of times to no avail.

Here is the CSS for the page div:

#page {
	width: 888px;
	margin: 0 auto;
	background: #FFFFFF url(images/img03.jpg) repeat-y left top;
	padding-top: 30px;
	font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
}

I know that there is something extremely basic going on here, that once fixed will make me want to punch myself in the balls for not seeing it, but I'm damned if I can find it.

Any ideas?

For some reason it wants to display "kubrickbgwide.jpg" as your background image from the default Wordpress theme.

The retard in me would take a copy of img03.jpg and name it kubrickbgwide.jpg and put it in the /thermal/images folder because I don't know any better.

Thanks for pointing that out Jiz.

It had not occurred to me to look at the source post-rendering to see what it was saying. Going that route I found a superfluous style command in the header.php file that was screwing with the look, and now everything is working fine.

As I figured, it was something obvious that had escaped my notice, and the urge to punch myself in the balls is overwhelming. *THUMP* ugh, wheez, fuck breathe. Wipe tears.

Thanks again, +rep.

As I was wrapping this up, thought I'd share it in case anyone wants it. The theme linked above, as well as the original CSS, can be downloaded here:
