Ross,
It does no good to declare width & height for an inline element,
although this doesn't help me understand why your image isn't showing.
The only references to 'inline' in the W3C spec on backgrounds say,
"The tiling and positioning of the background-image on inline
elements is undefined in this specification. A future level of CSS
may define the tiling and positioning of the background-image on
inline elements."
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/colors.html#propdef-background-repeat
Does it show if you declare the class with display: block? Does it
help to put the URL into quotation marks? What browsers have you tried?
Paul
