As a basic explanation, if needed, for the positioning of background-images in css, I've the short article "The Porthole Theory <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/port-hole/porthole.htm>".
Looking at the page, I think before trying new stuff, some basic things have to be improved. The html-validator <http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nssdesign.scot.nhs.uk%2Fabout_us%2Fwhoweare.php&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&verbose=1#line-9> gives back that the page is not valid at some essential points. For instance, probably due to the including of php-parts (which we can't see from the outside), there are two </head>-tags before the start of the <body>. Means the parts in between cannot (or not good) be reached. And that is among others just the javascript for preloading! See also the Watchfire WebXACT analysis <http://webxact.watchfire.com/> for this page (tab "Quality" > Content Defects > broken links): 3 js-files not found, 3 whoweare-images not found. Guess that when the browser is trying to get the not-found files, the download of the page will be slower instead of faster. Hoping this will contribute to a solution, francky ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
