[WSG] No background image in Firefox
This is my second real try at CSS and XHTML so bear with me! I thought I had it nailed, but noo... The page works in Safari, IE 5.2, 5.1 and Opera 6.03 all on a Mac both OS x and OS 9, but Firefox says no go. Firefox will not load my background image nor the logo at the bottom. The XHTML validates, what's my problem? All the code is in the source, any help will be greatly appreciated. This is currently a page holder while I race the clock to rebuild the table miss-mash that already exists. The example page is at http://www.jrations.com/ In advance, Thanks.

G'day Loads fine for me in Firefox 1.0PR. You haven't disabled images in Firefox (through the web developer toolbar) by chance?

Re: [WSG] No background image in Firefox
Hey Bert, I don't think I've disabled images, but I don't use Firefox very much since it's on my wife's machine. Where would I look to find out? It almost sounds that like that's the problem. It loads fine for you?? Hope I'm not going to be feeling like a total idiot, but I've loaded other test pages from the local drive and the images did appear. wayne On 9/24/04 10:42 PM, Bert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: G'day Loads fine for me in Firefox 1.0PR.

G'day I don't think I've disabled images, but I don't use Firefox very much since it's on my wife's machine. Where would I look to find out? It almost sounds that like that's the problem. It loads fine for you?? I can't help you on browser settings, nor is that a web standards issue :-) Refer to http://texturizer.net/firefox/ for help The only possible problems I see with the code are that: (A) your logo image is missing a space between the class and src attributes (B) the order in which you specify the background position (right top) could confuse some browsers (C) The absolute url for the background may be causing problems (though it shouldn't). Try: background: #000 url(img/fog_lead2.jpg) no-repeat right top Or given the content box is the same size as the image, you could just have: background: #000 url(img/fog_lead2.jpg) ... Or ... background-image: url(img/fog_lead2.jpg) Like I said, it displays fine in Firefox on my PC Regards -- Bert Doorn, Better Web Design www.bwdzine.com Fast-loading, user-friendly websites ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ Proud presenters of Web Essentials 04 http://we04.com/ Web standards, accessibility, inspiration, knowledge To be held in Sydney, September 30 and October 1, 2004 See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
