I get that but here's a screen grab showing that the image is 1 folder up and
that the .css file is, too 1 folder up
ergo, the same relationship from html file to css

Hi all,
I'm struggling to get a background-image appearing in IE5 Mac (it's
fine in every other browser under the sun).
The relevant CSS is
#top {
background: transparent url(images/top.gif) top left no-repeat;
padding: 55px 0 0 0;
}
h1 {
background: transparent url(images/masthead.jpg) top
