html div background image not showing up

I recommend moving your css from the inline scope. Assuming that your .png file actually exists, try setting the background size and repeat tags.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <style type="text/css">
body {background-color:gray;}
#mydiv {
   background-image: url('/ximages/websiteheader1.png');
   background-repeat:no-repeat;
   background-size:contain;
   height:200px;width:1200px;
}
</style>
  </head>
<body>
  <div id="mydiv">
  </div>
</body>
</html>

If that doesn’t work, try checking in your browser’s developer tools for the response codes and making sure that the url is correct.

Hope this helps!
