background in IE is just white

Recommended Posts

The gradient background works in FF but does not work in IE. I am banging my head against the wall..again...and again...and again. I have done this before but can not get it to work.

 

Help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks for taking the time to look at this.

I would have to experiment a bit.... Here is your current code:

 

body {

font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

font-size: 1em;

background: #FFF;

background: url(../images/tealwhite.png)repeat-x #FFF;

}

 

Removing the "background: #FFF;" line may fix it, and/or modifying the last line to this " background: #fff url(../images/tealwhite.png) repeat-x;".

 

I really can't test it, so make the adjustments and post back if you are still have trouble.

Thank you for the above suggestions.....did not work though. I had done that already, but thought i would try again.

 

I tried to upload the changes, so you could see....but of course for some reason I am having gremlins in my computer and I can't. I think I need to go get a coffee(or something stronger) and take a break.

 

Any other suggestions?????

 

 

Thanks again,

Corinne

A couple of things. First, the #FFF color code is not in the correct place. It must be before the url of the background image:

 

background: #FFF url(../images/tealwhite.png)repeat-x;

 

Secondly, the reason why the background image does not work in IE is that you need a space between the ) and r

 

background: #FFF url(../images/tealwhite.png)-add a space here-repeat-x;

 

Here's what you css style should look like now:

 

body {

font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

font-size: 1em;

background: #FFF url(../images/tealwhite.png) repeat-x;

}
