IE7 issues...imagine that...

or maybe its a problem with my code? hmm… if you look at the site I’ve been working on http://www.jonesspencewedding.com/ in firefox the background renders properly repeated vertically along the side and in ie8 its not even there. anyone have any idea what i could have done wrong here?

Re: IE7 issues...imagine that...

Have you tried validating your site? Grab the IE7 devbar too.

Validate XHTML Strict and CSS is valid…still no sign of it. Going to install the toolbar. Will see if it works

Re: IE7 issues...imagine that...

Suggestion (because I don’t really understand what’s going on here…): delete the scroll-attribute in your background-declaration on the body. So it wil look like this:

body { background: #FCFBF5 url(http://www.jonesspencewedding.com/img/mainbk.png) repeat-y; }

Re: IE7 issues...imagine that...

Try going back to basics – get rid of everything but the body and slowly add content in.

Re: IE7 issues...imagine that...

Well when i strip down to even just the body, its still not showing the image. Maybe there’s a hack I can do here. I’ll figure it out. I don’t let these things beat me.

Re: IE7 issues...imagine that...

I found your problem – one helluva typo! :P

background: #fcfbf5 url(http://www.jonesspencewedding.com/img/mainbk.png)repeat-y;

should be:

background: #fcfbf5 url(http://www.jonesspencewedding.com/img/mainbk.png) repeat-y;
