I would like to change the background to a gradient image I created as jpg. I tried uploading the image in the Files and Templates section and then adding it in the Body section of the CSS as

background-image: url(”background2.jpg”);

It didn’t work though. Any idea why?

I guess I’m looking for more info about uploading images to change what’s currently in the templates (I’m thinking, for example, of the bevel box image and the background for now).

Thanks.

url(”background2.jpg”) would look in the current directory for the file, which is not where it is stored. You would need to adjust it as follows (retrieved from going into Files & Templates and copying the hyperlink to the file):

url(”http://fileserver.surveygizmo.com/users/12539/background2.jpg”)

Give that a whirl.
