We're using the advanced layout template called Northrend (the one with Arthas on the right with the sword pointing forward). This layout has a top-menubar that stays on top when you scroll up and down the site. What I'm trying to do is instead of the bare black background, I'd like to use an image that the text rests on. I can't figure out how to get it to showup though. Here's a copy of the bit from the CSS file

#topmenu
{
position:fixed;
top:0;
left:0;
width:100%;
height:32px;
background: #000;
font-size:12pt;
font-family:sans-serif;
font-weight:bold;
color:#ffffff;
z-index:500;
text-align:center;


I've tried commenting out the background: #000; line and adding background-image: url (http:blahblahblah); but that didn't seem to work. Tried just background: url (etc), image: url (etc), but nothing seems to get it to come up. I have not modified any of the other lines. What am I doing wrong?

Hmm...not sure, but I'll have a look to see what I can find. Keep in mind that it may be correct, but that the result might be being cached by your browser.

I'd recommend changing it, then clearing your cache and see if the change still doesn't have an effect.
