Why an inline "background-image" style doesn't work in Chrome 10 and Internet Explorer 8?


As c-smile mentioned: Just need to remove the apostrophes in the url():

<div style="background-image: url(http://i54.tinypic.com/4zuxif.jpg)"></div>

Demo here


u must specify the width and height also

 <section class="bg-solid-light slideContainer strut-slide-0" style="background-image: url(https://accounts.icharts.net/stage/icharts-images/chartbook-images/Chart1457601371484.png); background-repeat: no-repeat;width: 100%;height: 100%;" >


Chrome 11 spits out the following in its debugger:

[Error] GET http://www.mypicx.com/images/logo.jpg undefined (undefined)

It looks like that hosting service is using some funky dynamic system that is preventing these browsers from fetching it correctly. (Instead it tries to fetch the default base image, which is problematically a jpeg.) Could you just upload another copy of the image elsewhere? I would expect it to be the easiest solution by a long mile.

Edit: See what happens in Chrome when you place the image using normal <img> tags ;)
