    on my page, relaxist.com/dev2, it is xhtml 1.1 valid, but in ie; the background image on the heder (relaxist) and on the icons next to login.

    it works in FF though.

    thanks

    For fun try removing the <span class="hidden"><a href="#">Relaxist.com</a></span> and put a character there to see the effect.

    Or try assigning a height to it:
    div#header div._logo
    {
    width: 311px;
    height: inherit;
    background: url(images/headLogo.png) no-repeat top left;
    margin-left: 10px;
    }

    Give ._logo {height: 50px;}. That'll get your logo showing. IE doesn't support the inherit value. I don't see off hand why the icons don't show.

    I do have to wonder why they are background images, rather than foreground.

    cheers,

    Your page looks really bad in Internet Explorer 6.0.

    First of all - loose the transparent .PNG files or use a PNGFix (google it).
    Second of all - remove the space from the .CSS file name - it causes problems.

    Try those two for starters :)

    wow thank you so much guys, Ill try this.

    I don't want to have to mess with the pngs, will saving them as gif or jpg work better?

    thanks.
