I am designing a site that has a background image, that is simply repeated in the y axis.

#background {
  background: url("../image/bg.png") repeat-y  -43px 150px;
}

This works fine in FireFox and Safari, but not in IE7 or IE8.

I have even added stylesheets for these 2 browsers and changed the background to a color (which worked) rather than the image.

Is there any reason why this isn’t working in these 2 browsers?

Thanks

    Does the background have any sizes? as it will need this… If it does and thats not working have you set your doctype in the page? IE Requires this…

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
