Incosistancy with style sheet and html - proper

I am a relative newbee

I am having problems with applying a style on a style sheet.

I have created a div and created a class. In the style sheet file I did the
following:

"div.TopBar {
background: Silver url(Images/BlueBar.jpg) repeat-x;
}"

In the html I did the following:

"<div class="TopBar">
<a href="pages/contactus.htm">Contact Us</a>
</div>"

And I do not get the background bar that is the image. If I do an "inline"
style as below:

"<div class="TopBar" style="background: Silver url(Images/BlueBar.jpg)
repeat-x">
<a href="pages/contactus.htm">Contact Us</a>
</div>"

Then it works. What gives?

If you do not see the html instead you see a a href then please check source
code, as I do not know how to post without html being converted

I figured it out. The problem was the image path.

In the <link href....
I was using a stylesheet in a subdirectory of the root, the image directory
was also off the root, so it did not find it
