Body tag background image not displaying in FF

Hi everyone,
Can someone explain why the following code works fine in IE(running Vista) but the background image in Mozilla FF displays only the [U]bottom half[/U]
of the background image.

<style type=”text/css”>
body {
background-color:#FFFF99;
background-image: url(images/test_background2.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
}

</style>
</head>

<body>

</body>
</html>

Thanks for your time.
Sig

@goyneyJan 29.2009 — Try putting a min-height:###px on the body style where ### is the actual height of the background image.

Firefox is actually handling the CSS correctly. A background image shouldn't determine the height of a tag, the content that fills it should. Unfortunately, this is one of IE's bugs that people feel is done "correctly".

Let me know if providing that min-height works.

Success!
