RE: [WSG] Why won't my background images show up in IE?
Hmm... Thanks, that did seem to make a difference. At any rate, the images are showing up. But instead of tiling nicely across the page, they're showing one to a line and spreading over the whole width of the panel. I've had a look, and I'm not sure how to fix that. (It still works fine in Moz) The styles for the tabs are in the sheet nav_tabs.css if you want to take a look. Thanks, Seona.

(It still works fine in Moz) In your nav_main.css you have HTML UL LI { FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 1% } HTML UL LI A { HEIGHT: 1% } Add the #navbar selector in front of these styles, as you have done with the others in this css file Using height:1% is usually a workaround for IE bugs so you might want to hide them from other browsers Regards Jason * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help *
RE: [WSG] Why won't my background images show up in IE?
Aha! Thank you so much, that's fixed the problem nicely. This is what happens when you work from two different tutorials in two different files - you lose track of what changes are going to affect something else. :) The tabs are now behaving themselves nicely, and so is my main navigation (I think). As far as hiding from other browsers, I was aware that it was hidden from IE/Mac by the commented backslash (that's what the tutorial said, anyway) but is there a more effective way of hiding it from all the browsers that we don't want to see it? Thanks for your help. Cheers, Seona. Quoting Jason Turnbull [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Seona Bellamy wrote: Hmm... Thanks, that did seem to make a difference. At any rate, the images are showing up.

My apologies, saved the page in IE and it removed all comments Another way to feed styles to IE only is using conditional comments http://www.quirksmode.org/css/condcom.html This is the preferred method by many others on this list, as it allows easier maintenance in the future and keeps your main style sheets clean.

RE: [WSG] Why won't my background images show up in IE?
No probs. :) Thanks for the tip, I'll have to have a look at that one. And thanks for all your help this afternoon. It's been really appreciated. You've saved me hours of work and a head of hair. ;) Cheers, Seona.

Seona, Are you able to provide a link to the page, as images display ok in IE6, with the code you provided. Regards Jason * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help *
RE: [WSG] Why won't my background images show up in IE?
You're kidding?? Well, here's an example: http://216.119.123.23/index.cfm?fuseaction=catalogue.ListProductsID=2category=Subcategory There should be two or three rows of tabs (unless you're running at some ridiculously small resolution), but in IE all I see is a big space where they should be. I know they are there however since the links do change colour when I mouse over them. There's just no images, and so the white text blends into the white background. Have a look, tell me what you see. If you can see them fine, then I think I might just go quietly insane... ;) Cheers, Seona.
