Hi Theresa


Please take my humble explanation with a grain of salt, although I am not entirely new to css I
would not say I am an expert (which is the reason I subscribed to this list) and there are more
qualified people around here that may be able to give you a better / the correct description of
what's going on.  That being said.......


The reason the logo "disappears" when you specify it as a background in #banner in the css, as
opposed to placing it in the xhtml, is that the logo becomes just that - a background to div#banner.
 If the div has no content in the xhtml, the div will not have any height , and therefor the
background logo will not show within the div. So to remedy the situation, just give the  div a
height. 86px in this case gives the div enough height for the background to show through.
