CSS problem...

I have been working on my website, but I am having a problem with some of the CSS.. this is the first time I have used CSS on a site, so I am not sure how to trouble shoot it.. I am trying to make a link that when you click on it, it displays a background image (mine is of a check) in the visited state, but i can never seem to make the background image show up. here is my code: (in the site i just have a div with the id set as sidebar, then the a href link)

css:

#sidebar a:link {
font-weight:normal;
text-transform:none;
text-align: center;
}
#sidebar a:hover {
font-weight:bold;
text-transform:none;
text-align: center;
}
#sidebar a:visited {
font-weight:normal;
text-transform:none;
text-align: center;
background: url(gifs/check.gif);
background-position: 100px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;

My knowledge of css is pretty basic, but maybe few questions to rule out some possibilities:

Do any properties in the 'visited' state take effect? Is it just the background value that's not working right?

Try using check.gif as the background for the other states as a test. Is it working there as you expect?

*shrug* I've been learning css myself recently, these are probably the ideas I'd try first.

I just checked and found that the other parts of the visited state take effect.. from what I can tell this problem is with using background image on text in other states (i can get it to work with static text)

ok, i just did some differnt things and I found that when you set the image to repeat, it will show up, but if you set it to x or y repeat, its not there again.. very frustrating..

based on what you typed, you might want to make your visited state read:

background-image: url(gifs/check.gif); <-- just make sure that path is correct!

and add to the other states:

background-image: none;

and close off that last css code with a " } "


that's just looking at your code, i didn't test that. you could try to upload the css file or have this <a href="http://www.htmlhelp.org/tools/csscheck/" target="_blank">css validator</a> check your site.
