You need a dash between "background" and "image" in your CSS:

 

background image: url(../image/timheader.jpg);

Wow, thanks for the quick reply.

 

Unfortunately, that's not working either.

Are you sure the image file is named exactly the way it is shown in the CSS, and is in the correct location? Based on your css, you are telling the browser to go up one level, and then look for the image file. For example, this may be your folder structure

 

-- root folder

----- timheader.jpg

----- folder

-------- index.html

-------- style1.css
