A little more information would be helpful about the content on the
page. For instance, if the footer div empty, are you just hoping to
display the background image? If so, you need to give the div a height
value. If there's no content in the div, nothing will show since
there's nothing for the image to be a background of.

Also, if the id of the div is "footer" your css should read "#footer"
not just "footer"
