linking stylesheets vs style tags

@rsdOct 29.2004

Why does IE have rendering problems when using a linked stylesheet?
If I put the styles in <style> tags inside the page it works fine but if I put it in an external file it doesn’t pick up the background image until you either page down/up or move the mouse over a :hover
Any ideas?

@JonaOct 29.2004 — #[font=trebuchet ms]Are you using the LINK tag to import the style sheet? Are you giving the BODY a background or the HTML tag one? IE has problems when you give a background to the HTML tag.[/font]

@rsdauthorOct 29.2004 — #Yes, a link tag, not an import - I'm not really shure why you would use one over the other anyway.

I had the background image in a 'mainbody' div which comes after a heading div and before a footer div. The mainbody contains two sub-divs, both floated left to make two columns. The image basicly gives the left column a different background that is gradient to the right column.

[font=trebuchet ms]Depending how you use the quotes in your import rule, you can filter out certain browsers. IE5/Mac doesn't understand it if you use single-quotes in the import rule, Opera trips up on the import rule sometimes (I'm not sure what causes this, though). There is also a version of IE on Windows that doesn't understand the import rule when done a certain way - I think when you use parentheses. I forget, though. Anyway, do you think you could upload an example *.zip file so I can see just how you're doing this?[/font]

I'll see if I can get a chance to recreate the problem in a sample page this weekend.

@JonaOct 29.2004 — #[font=trebuchet ms]Okay. Good luck.[/font]
