Contact background images not appearing.

Like several previous postings, I am having trouble with my mail and contact images to appear. I have spent 20 minutes trying to resolve this, and if history repeats, whomever responds to this will have no trouble at all finding my issue. Thanks in advance!

I will paste all of my CSS and HTML code:

Did you name the map of the images "img" or "Img" (note the capital i); in your code you refer to the facebook page trough:

src="Img/facebook-wrap.png"

in your css you refer to:

url('../img/mail.png');

(can't underline the differences, hope you see them to, hope it will help you!)

No problem! Sometimes i stare at code aswell and can't find it... then someone walks by and says "why this and this, so it works" :)

ps. make it all small "img" and keep stuck to that! So all your maps and files always are lowercase, you'll never have that problem again ;)
