  Thanks for sharing your thinking process and investigative work on this topic. I wonder how aware most libraries are of this requirement to make the captcha audio in order to comply with the disabilities requirement.

  I’m attempting the audio version now…

  Barrett – I also haven't seen messages like that, but I was going to share the same advice that Cynthia did. While trying to get the background image to work I kept typing in "background-image: url(images/dcMaps.jpg) no-repat;" and it won't work unless I took the "no-repeat out". I didn't realize until I got deeper into [...]

  I haven't gotten any messages like that myself. I do see that you have "background-image" in your code (or maybe it's just the error), whereas I have "background"; also, you appear to have a space after the closing parenthesis after your image reference. Not sure whether that would keep it from displaying. But again, that [...]

  Glad it helped! The spacing can definitely get confusing!

  Thank you so much ya'll! I just got it too work! So thrilling when it actually comes up on the browser! Thanks Cynthia so much for sharing your code – it helps to see how someone else has done it. I think when I read the book it can be hard to tell what exactly [...]

  Hey Alexandra,

  Here's the code I used, which worked.

  background: url(images/Uke.png) no-repeat;

  It took me a couple of tries to get it to work correctly. One key was that I originally set quotes around the image name. The other was that I had to remember to put in a path to the file–my image was in [...]

  Hey Alexandra – I did not bring the book with me to Europe but I'm looking at this:

  http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_background-image.asp

  which verifies that url is included in the CSS code:

  background-image:url('paper.gif');

  Is the url for the image you are pointing to in the CSS correct? Does anyone want to share their code for a working background image?
