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.

Mike, This line is invalid: background-image: #333333 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: #333333; or: background: #333333 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. ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *******************************************************************
