I am trying to put the mountain at my header background and it is not working. I have the correct coding in place

CSS Code is as follows:

.main-header { background-color: #ffa949; padding-top: 170px; height: 850px; background-image: url ('../img/mountains.jpg'); }

Still shows orange background in the header.

Make sure there's no space between 'url' and the brackets

background-image: url('../img/mountains.jpg');

Don't feel dumb. Relative paths are confusing for a lot of people.
