    When using IE to open my new site (still establishing), everything is fine. However, when i use Firefox to open the website, the background is gone.

    Why this happen? anything wrong with my coding?

    Your help will be much appreciated.

    Note: my website at my last signature.

    Never, ever use IE as a reference for how things should work. It is an antique web browser 11 years behind all others in modern standards and practices. Always, always use a modern browser to test your markup. Then look and see if/when IE screws things up. But quirks and bugs of IE are well known, as are the hacks to fix it.

    Validate your html and css markup for those lists of 120 html errors and 20 css errors.

    You may want to go through your code once more and double-check how you are referencing images and links - I viewed your source and it looks like you have a few reference problems like pointing to "file://" which points to a file on your local drive, instead of referencing a file on the server.
