Re: [WSG] Need a fresh eye - can anyone see what's wrong please?
I agree, consolidate background-image, background-repeat and *-position into
one 'background' statement. Easier and saves a few bytes.

Re: [WSG] Need a fresh eye - can anyone see what's wrong please?
Mike -
You have put the background color and image under background-image. Why
don't you consolidate all of your backround statements into one:
#footer {
color: #d9d9d9;
background: #33 url("images/Footer_background_s1.jpg") repeat-x top;
min-height: 96px;
}
Otherwise, you need to separate background-image and background-color.

RE: [WSG] Need a fresh eye - can anyone see what's wrong please?
YEP! That did the trick. I thought i'd checked all those things, but i
missed that one on the IE-Only style sheet.
Thanks. I knew having a fresh eye look at it would see something that i
was too close to to notice - couldn't see the wood for the trees.
Cheers

Mike,
This line is invalid:
background-image: #33 url("images/Footer_background_s1.jpg");
You're defining both the color *and* the url in the image property.
Either change it to:
background-image: url("images/Footer_background_s1.jpg");
background-color: #33;
or:
background: #33 url("images/Footer_background_s1.jpg");
This is invalid across all browsers, it's just that IE8 is the only one that
seems to actually care.

I have a draft layout for a client that is fine in all respects except that
in IE8, the background image in the footer is missing.
Here's the page concerned:
http://afpwebworks.com/strikingdistance/index.cfm
And the footer div rule is as follows for IE (I have a IE-only style sheet)
:
#footer {
color: #d9d9d9;
background-image: #33 url("images/Footer_background_s1.jpg");
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-position: top;
min-height: 96px;
}
Both the HTML and the CSS validate ok.
So does any one see what I have wrong for IE?
