Intermittent background image load

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 24.2009

Hello,

The website I am working on links an external stylesheet. That stylesheet contains the following:

[code=html]body {
color:#ccc;
font-weight:lighter;
overflow:hidden;
font-family:Helvetica, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size:0.8em;
background-image:url(‘http://www.jmuf.net/austinitguy/wp-content/themes/aitguy/images/bckd_main.png’);
background-position:top center;
background-repeat:repeat;
}[/code]

When viewing the main page, the background image loads perfectly fine. When viewing any of the secondary pages, however, the background image does not load. Same stylesheet. Same filepath. Different results. [b]Worth noting– Error only occurs in IE 6.[/b]

A live example can be found here: [URL=”http://www.jmuf.net/austinitguy”]http://www.jmuf.net/austinitguy[/URL]

I’ve validated the HTML and the CSS for both pages. Makes no sense whatsoever. Any advice would be incredible.

Thanks,
Nick

@nthompsonauthorAug 26.2009 — Thank you! I'm almost positive that's what is doing it. I just now noticed you can see the open-bracket in Safari too. But just barely. . .

Problem is, I can't find it. I used Dreamweaver to search through the file and came up with nothing. I also looked at the source via Firefox to see if PHP threw something in at run-time. Still nothing. Do you know where this oh so elusive open-bracket is located?

Thanks again! ?

@nthompsonauthorAug 26.2009 — [B][COLOR="Red"]Update:[/COLOR][/B] So I found the offending bracket and removed it. Yet the background still won't render in IE6. Agh.

Any further ideas?

@nthompsonauthorAug 26.2009 — Removed my call to jQuery from the header. Now the background loads.

[B]jQuery Call:[/B]
[CODE]<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>[/CODE]

Makes no sense.

Success!
