IE Mac – Background image prob

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi,

I’ve put together a css layout and mostly it’s behaving well. However I have encountered one problem. The following style is displaying correctly in all browsers I have tested it on except IE for Mac… for some reason in that browser the background image doesn’t show up. It does on everything else, can anyone see why?

#ipod_footer{
background-color:#cccccc;
background-image:url(“../images/common/footer_bg.gif”);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
position:relative;
top:2px;
width:100%;
clear:both;
height:41px;
}

If you want to see the page in context its [URL=http://www.djaztek.com/Roehampton/laid.htm]here[/URL].

Thanks in advance

You could try removing the quotes from around the background-image's URL.

@Six_GunauthorAug 28.2005 — Nope... but thanks for pointing out the other error. Any other ideas on the background image thing?

@KravvitzAug 28.2005 — Have you tried using a margin instead of relative positioning?

@Six_GunauthorAug 28.2005 — I have done it in the past... is there any advantage. Relative positioning seems to be working in this case. The background image in the footer, on the otherhand, is failing to show up in IE Mac

Success!
