I'm using a css to look up the location of a background.

However, while this works fine in IE, the image does not display in Netscape (stupid thing >:-< ).

The css for the body part is as follows:

BODY.main {
MARGIN-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: url( #ffffff repeat-y left 50%; MARGIN-LEFT: 0px; COLOR: #000000; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px
}

The HTML source includes <body class=&quot;main&quot;> and the correct link to the style sheet as all the fonts are correctly formatted.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance
Chris

u could try specifying your style like this...

.main{background-image:url(myimage.gif); background-repeat:repeat-y; bgcolor:#ffffff; color:#ffffff; margin-top:0px; margin-right:0px; margin-left:0px}

i havent tested it but its more syntatically correct so netscrap is less likely to choke on it

also is the css external or in the document? sometimes ns gets confused with xternal stylesheets tho idont think it should affect this case..

hope this helps

Hi,

I'm pretty sure NS interprets URL relative to the css while IE interprets it relative to the HTML page. So, if your css file is not in the same directory as your HTML pages, you might need to correct.
