Make sure that the path to the background images that you use are relative to the css file, not the xhtml file.

A good tip from Charles Wyke-Smith's book is that you should store content graphics and presesntational graphics in seperate folders.

Meaning of course that images that you would use as a background should go in one folder, and images that you use in say paragraphs of people etc.. should go into another folder. Background images are considered visual and should be stored seperatly.
