Ever have the problem with your repeating background just not showing up in Internet Explorer but it does in Firefox? Try a space.

See the example below, this true and I have no idea why but if you don’t have a space after you specify your url it won’t work in IE:

background: url(images/your_image.jpg)top left repeat-x;  <<<<<<notice there is no space

background: url(images/your_image.jpg)  top left repeat-x;  <<<<<< now notice there IS a space

This slight difference will cause your css to be ineffective in IE.

Just a FYI………happy coding
