problem in IE 7

[Guest Cashster09]

I have now switched doctypes and started changing my pages over and my rightside greyish bg color is not showing up in IE7....

In IE 6, FF 2, 3 and chrome it works fine, but my client has IE 7 and I told him to look at it today...

 

my css code is

#container {

margin: 0;

padding: 0;

text-align: left;

width: 820px;

background: #FFFFFF url( bg.jpg?z=16168 ) repeat-y;

background-position: 0px 0px;

margin-left: auto;

margin-right: auto;

}

 

the bg.jpg is the image for the greyish background

 

the funny thing is, that was working on friday....and i never changed that at all or touched it!

 

help anyone?

The gray background does show in my IE7 for the right panel under Contact Us.

[Guest Cashster09]

is it only under the contact us tab or every page?

It looks the same on all pages for the color in IE 7. Is it a very light grey almost white ? that is what I see. It is the same in FF also.

In IE7 for me it looks just like the example you posted on all the pages.

Well to me the screen capture does look kinda white to me. I am not sure but could it be the computer, colors can look slightly different on different computers. Sorry if I am confusining you. But the color I see on IE is the same as the screen capture you linked to.

thanks corrine....

I now made the side darker gray....

 

It should be a little better and viewable a little bit more on your puter....Yours was probably like my sec's in that it was very faint.....Now at least it shows up a little more...

 

the grey looks like the color on this site to the left...

Minor issue in IE7 with the articles page.

I have a newspaper background that is inside a table, but the only browser its not showing up in is IE7. Is there a quirk i'm not aware of for this browser?

 

I dont have any text in the table yet but the background shows up on other browsers.

 

here is my css code for the table

 

td.newspaper {

background-image:

url('newsback.jpg');

background-repeat: repeat;

padding-top: 5px;

padding-bottom: 15px;

padding-left: 15px;

padding-right: 15px;

text-align: justify;

font-family: trebuchet MS;

vertical-align: top;

 

}

 

html code is

text will go here

It shows in my IE7.

 

Use http://browsershots.org/ or netrenderer to see how a page looks in different browsers.

[Guest Cashster09]

i wonder why my sec's computer it doesnt show up and it looks just plain white...pretty annoying

[Wickham]

It could be a cache problem (unfortunately you can't tell a viewer to clear their cache very easily) or a slow download (is it a large image file size in KB?) or perhaps she has a problem with her computer (old or infected or not much spare space).

[Guest Cashster09]

no i actually refreshed the page for her but not sure why the rightside looked basically white and the articles page didnt show the newspaper bg...

 

no its a very small file...

I guess i shouldnt worry about it....I just hope my clients IE 7 on his puter looks like everyone elses instead of my sec's...lol

 

By the way, netrenderer is awesome...thanks
