Hello again everyone,

I’m having troubles establishing two backgrounds on a website I’m fooling around on. [Here’s the link.](http://icypenguin.ca/operations/other/sw/index2.htm)

As you can see, there is a background at the top of the page (the blue criss-cross thingy) and then I wanted to put in a background -color for the rest of the site (i.e., under the blue background for the header). But when I put in two background properties in the body and html in my css, it doesnt work - only the html background will show up. ☹

Any idea why? Thanks 🙂
