CSS Nightmare Act 2

I ask anyone now because I am desperate in fixing 1 last validation error at [Invalid] Markup Validation of http://www.earn-income-at-home.info/ - W3C Markup Validator

Beware, because it sounds easier than it looks. I did add a class and snippet to my external css file but for reason unknown, I simply cannot fix this last error.

Here is my page http://www.earn-income-at-home.info and my css is here http://www.earn-income-at-home.info/css/mystyles.css

Is anyone brave enough to adventure themselves into this? It's not a simple case of adding example

<td class="bg"> and css line such as

td.bg{background:url(../images/bg.jpg)} and say done!

The typical approach fails and template goes into chaos every time I attempt a move. FYI, the path is not the issue. Must be a conflict...:confused:

I am certain that I hadn't made a typo. I started this new thread because I wasn't getting enough folks in old thread to help me out on this one.

Anyone think they know the answer?

    Your CSS mark up is missing the ending ; before each of the closing }

    The problematic background element is with in the html doc and not the css file...
    table { background: url(images/bg.jpg);} is not defined in the css doc and therefore has no style associated with it.

    You could try calling it as an img src and see what happens

      I had taken it out as it was messing the whole template quite simply. I'll try img src... who knows...

      thanks...

    Thank you all for your help which eventually led me to a solution. I needed to add a style in the html like so...

    style="background-image: url('images/bg.jpg');
