Forum:Having Trouble with Background Image?

I'm not having any luck with CSS so I'm just going to apply it directly to the div. How do you make a background-image on a div or a table?

 * The background image CSS property will not work when placed inside elements on individual pages. It only works when the code is placed in one of the CSS pages that affect the wiki. Judging from the information here, I think the problem is that you are trying to use the relative path of the images instead of the full url location. Try using the code here instead.

I've updated the MediaWiki:Common.css to use a relative path, but it doesn't seem be working still:

hello world!

Is there a way to directly apply the image without using CSS? This doesn't work but maybe something like it?
