Hi

Can someone please tell me why my CSS background is not working - are you not allowed to link to an external domain in CSS? That would be insane if so!

The code

```auto

<style type="text/css">
<!--
.product-image-video
{
	background-image:url(http://www.fit-equip.com/uploads/7020 - 4 Ft(1).jpg);
	background-repeat:no-repeat;
	border:solid #b8b8b8 1px;
	height:500px;
	width:500px;
	float:left;
	margin-top:3px;
	margin-right:0px;
	margin-left:14px;
	margin-bottom:14px;
}
-->
</style>

<div class="product-image-video">sdsds</div>
