CSS's giving me nothing when external or internal

Im following along at W3schools tutorials and I thought I was following along correctly.

Here's the code on my index page that is between the tag:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css" /> '

and on my css page titled styles.css I have:
body {background-image: url("images/Background3.jpg") /} '

Ive tripled checked the paths and they are correct. Ive tried internal and external setups. Ive written full http paths and even rerouted the file. Ive removing quotes, removing url, removing spaces, renaming files, excluding /, placed the link rel in tags and nothing is working. I have the correct files in the correct folders on the server. Im at wits end right now. Basically, this is exactly like the tutorials. Ive tried in IE and FF and all I get is a white background when it should be the image. Ive viewed the source of other friends pages and when viewed, their line is color coded where mine is not. Any suggestions?

EDIT: Dammit, forums need a "delete post" option. Above in:
body {background-image: url("images/Background3.jpg") /} '

I deleted the / and the space leftover and it works now. Roll eyes Useless post, sorry.
