[WSG] Background image not visible in ie

2009-04-29 Thread Lynette Smith
Good afternoon http://www.westernwebdesign.com.au/zoobridal/index.html IE is not showing the background image on #container. Have only just noticed this. Cannot find any reason for it to be so. I have a very similar site with a background image on #container and it has no problems in

Hi Lyn, I've tested it in IE7 and it works ok, but just isn't working in IE6 (it loads but is blue at one end rather than white). The reason for this is that you're using a transparent PNG which isn't supported on IE6 and below. There are tons of examples of this (and how to fix it) on

Paul, Office 2007 uses the Word rendering engine which is quite a different beast from any browser, and even quite different to Outlook 2003 (which used the IE engine for rendering and Word for composing). You may find other tools like Campaign Monitor which run an instance and deliver the

[WSG] Test in Outlook 2007

2009-04-29 Thread Paul Collins
Hi all, Just wondering, has anyone ever figured out a way of testing Outlook 2007 when you don't have it installed? Wondering if there is some kind of online software that emulates it perhaps? Campaign Monitor offers testing, but it costs a fiver each time you want to check. Would appreciate

It does of course require JavaScript which isn't strictly necessary as you can get the same effect with just CSS (especially for the purposes of the example given initially). With regards to background image positioning, I'm fairly sure there is no way to stop it going to position (0,0) as

The only place I ran into a problem with the background position was using sprites for the menu on this site: http://thebrokenfamilyband.com I needed to use pixels for left and top values so didn't try 'center', maybe it would work. In the end I just used a conditional comment stylesheet to
