have a problem with my blog

    I've got a wordpress blog that uses a plugin which alters the style of blockquote html markeup.

    I believe, and I am not sure, that it replaces the original css for blockquote in the template I am using.

    My problem is that I want to add an image background for the block quote. I am not sure if you can have multiple background images in the same css class, but even if I remove the current background image (which I need) in the plugin's css, I still can't get the image to appear in the background of any blockquote!

    Here is the css in the plugin:

    div.fancy-quote {
	margin-top: 1em;
	margin-bottom: 1em;
	border: 1px solid #aaa;
}

div.fancy-quote div {
    /* not used, but available to you to use */
}

div.fancy-quote blockquote {
  font-size: 1.2em;
  line-height: 1.5em;
	margin: 0.5em;
	margin-bottom: -16px;
	padding-bottom: 1.0em;
	padding-top: -5px;
	border: none;
	padding-left: 10px;
	padding-right: 10px;
        background: url(images/bq.png) bottom left no-repeat;
}
    Code (markup):
    If I replace "background: url(images/bq.png) bottom left no-repeat;" with what I want to use:
    "background: url(wp-content/uploads/2009/09/quote.png) top left no-repeat;"
    the image still own't show! and I can't understand why ... but even if it did work, how can I have multiple images in the background, like one on the top and one on bottom? Thanks ahead!

    The first thing, I think you have given wrong url for the background image. I hope you have to give something like this
    "background: url(../uploads/2009/09/quote.png) top left no-repeat;"
    just try it
    Regarding the multiple backgrounds, you can refer to this article by W3C
    http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-css3-background-20050216/#layering
    Hope it helps. But just remember that it would work for the browsers that support CSS3

    Wow, I can't believe I didn't realize that the directory needed to be specified from the respective location ... thanks all is working well, and the bg image worked in conjunction with the one I already had in the blockquote class.

    Rep added.

    Now that I have someones ear :) I wonder if you can determine a solution for getting the gray page background to appear in IE? It works in FF and Chrome but not in IE.

    Thanks a million for your help.
