referring to this .css code

body {
background-image: url("/images/Pattern1.gif");
background-repeat: repeat-y;
font-family : Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color : #000088;
margin: 0px;
background-color: #FFFFFF
}

.navigation {
position: absolute;
top: 100px;
left: 3px;
width: 135px;
height: auto;
font-family : Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
line-height : 110%;
}

.content {
background: #ffffff;
color: #000088;
margin-left: 160px;
margin-right: 20px;
padding: 5px;
font-family : Verdana, Eyechart, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
width: auto;
border: 0.1px solid #FFFFFF;
}

.header {
margin-top: 10px;
margin-left: 160px;
}

.box {
background: #FFFFFF;
color : #000099;
font-family : Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
padding : 2px;
margin: 2px;
border-color : #48D1CC;
border-style : groove;
border-width : 2px;
}

.navbox {
font-size: 15px;
font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
border-color: #FF6633;
border-style: groove;
border-width: 2px;
padding: 1px;
margin: 2px;
}

I finally got it to work.

I put a ".." in front of the url and bingo, there it was....

body {
background-image: url(../images/dark_marble.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
font-family : Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color : #000088;
margin: 0px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
font-size: 15px
}
