Whenever I run this code on my browser(Chrome) my background image won't show up. I don't know how to fix it so if anyone knows how to fix it, please tell me.

There are two issues with this line:
background-image: url('./C:\Users\viraj\Downloads\html\Mountains.jfif');
./
at the beginning of the url specifies a relative path, so the browser will look for the file in same directory in which your html file resides. You however need to omit./
so that the browser will use the absolute path.You need to escape the backslashes in the URL like this: '\\'
So the correct style would look like this:
background-image: url('C:\\Users\\viraj\\Downloads\\html\\Mountains.jfif');
CodePudding user response:
use this instead
background-image: url('C:\\Users\viraj\Downloads\html\Mountains.jfif');
it would be better if you save image in same file where your index.html style.css are and then use reference address for background
.background-image {
background-image: url('\Mountains.jfif');
background-size: cover;
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 100vh;
}

one of pecularity about file path in windows and mac is that in mac each of folder are seprated by a /
[forwardslash] whereas on windows they seprated by a \
backslash as you notice when we are writing code we care about that we can just write it as /
[forward slash] and making sure that we have the root
