background img not repeating

[hgmmy06]

So I don't know how this page looks in Internet Explorer cause I haven't had a chance to look at it cause I've been on a mac. But the problem I'm having is that background img set to a div and to repeat vertically, but it isn't. It repeats for the stuff in the side bar, but not for the stuff in main part and I don't know why. Here's the link to my website and here's the link to the style sheet.

I suppose I should clarify which img and div. If you look at the page source it's the div with the id "page" and this is the img

You don't need div. Just under the body section in your CSS add what I did. It's the sixth line of code.

Code: Select all


body

{

background: #f0f0f0 url('images/lucas-background-img.jpg');
background-repeat: repeat;
text-align: center;

margin:0;

padding:0;

color:#000;

font:11px verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

}


That is what I do and it should work.

It's not the main background that's not working but the background img I've assigned to a div with the id "page". This is the css for it.

#page
{
width: 800px;
margin: 30px auto;
background: transparent url('images/lucas-postback-img.jpg') repeat-y scroll center top;
}

Oh yea, it seems to work fine in Internet Explorer but not in Firefox and Safari.

The reason I think it isn't working is because you need to have "background-repeat" you can't just have "background"

So under that put

background-repeat: repeat y


and take off what you have after the URL link.

I've just tried that and it doesn't seem to have worked. I assume you intended to have a dash between the repeat and the y right? I went ahead and tried it both ways just in case and it still didn't work. Anyother ideas? Thanks for your help it is much appriciated.

Sorry I can't think of anything else that could work. I'll tell ya though if I find anything.
