I'm new to this mvc5 environment, please help if i've missed any info.

I have tried doing the following but still doesn't display the image.

C#

body
 {
    background-image: url('../../MyTemplate/img/bac.jpg');
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-attachment: fixed;
}

Then I referenced my stylesheet on the login view like this.

<link href="~/Content/scss/LoginPages.css" rel="stylesheet" />

Thanks in Advanced.

Make sure your image is located in ~/MyTemplate/img/bac.jpg; try opening the full URL of the image in the browser.

Use your browser's developer tools to inspect the body element to see what styles are applied.

Try using Fiddler[^] to inspect the traffic between your browser and the site.

Hi.

Instead of doing a style-sheet and referencing it I suggest you do it like this

Make sure you put everything inside the body tag , starting from the div tag.

Hope this helps you.
