Background image defined in CSS doesn't appear in IE6

Sent by Ian Piper on 30 April 2006 21:09


Hi all,

I'd appreciate some advice with a CSS problem. I have a background  
image that appears in Firefox (Mac OS X and Windows) and Safari, but  
not in IE6. The background image is defined in a div that is used to  
wrap two floated divs (left and right):

<div id="contentWrapper">
	<div id="mainNavigation">
		[...]
	</div>
	<div id="mainContent">
		[...]
	</div>
	<div class="clearboth"></div>
/* if I don't include the line above the image doesn't show in any  
browser, presumably because contentWrapper's enclosed elements are  
floated */
</div>

The CSS for contentWrapper is:

#contentWrapper {
	background-image: url(../images/mainContent_bg_760x131.jpg);
	background-position: bottom;
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	/* height: 260px; */
}

If you look at this url

http://www.tellura.co.uk/blueboar/

you should see that in all but IE6 the background image is visible in  
the top half of the window. Interestingly, if I give contentWrapper a  
border to see where it is located then the image appears even in IE6  
(but of course it now looks ugly).

Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong here in my CSS file?

Thanks,


Ian.
