Thanks to all who responded to this. Mika's fix solved the problem, by setting the height of the div only in the style-ie css (adding it to the other style sheets doubled up the space where the image is placed). My guess is that IE6 doesn't calculate the size of the div to the size of the image in the div, but other browsers do not have this problem. Thanks Jennifer

I'd be interested to hear whether Mika's fix worked too. # Mika, if you're fix worked, could you explain why setting the div height works?

The following code we find works perfectly in firefox, but does not display the background image in ie (specifically IE6, just tested in IE7 and 8 and it works fine). This is a script to display a random background image on the load of the page. The code is: <div class="TSbannerImg" id="TSbannerImg"> <script> maximumBannerImages = 12; bannerNumber = Math.floor(Math.random()*maximumBannerImages); document.getElementById('TSbannerImg').style.backgroundImage = 'url("/themes/TerritoryStories/images/random/ts_MidImg'+bannerNumber+'.j pg")'; </script> </div> and in the css: .TSbannerImg { background-image: url("../images/random/ts_MidImg1.jpg"); background-repeat: no-repeat; padding-top: 150px; } If anybody would be able to give a hint about this, it would be greatly appreciated.
