					<description>Thank you guys.

Gordon, I tried an absolute url, no joy so I changed it back to a relative. But just by uploading the newly saved css file (but back to its old state) has fixed the problem. Wierd eh? At least it does in Firefox/IE/Opera on Win2K. Hope it's working elsewhere too. Oh dammit, that reminds me that I wanted to go fix the video display.

*scribbles post-it note, sticks it on forehead*

Hmmm, not sure why the text is blue on highlighting, will google.

Lyle, "nad about a bit" - is that the technical term? ;-) But the principle of splitting up the code like that is a good one and I'll remember that for future.

One odd thing that is probably significant but I can't work out why:

The background image displayed correctly on &lt;a href="http://chasingdaisy.com/index.php" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://chasingdaisy.com/index.php&lt;/a&gt; but not on &lt;a href="http://chasingdaisy.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://chasingdaisy.com&lt;/a&gt;</description>

					<description>Ah, my mistake, I think you've got the ; on the line under it - it's a following-on thing. 

Gah.

Try the preceding forward slash.

Alternatively, initially split the background bits down into individual selectors, so you can see what they're doing...

ie.

 background-color: transparent;
 background-image: url(images/middle.gif);
 background-repeat: repeat-y;
 background-position: top center;

then you could always nad about a bit and see how you do...</description>

					<description>The immediate response would be "put a semi-colon at the end of the line" thus

 background: transparent url(images/middle.gif);

also, it might be worth trying to go back to the root for the images, so to go...

 background: transparent url(/images/middle.gif);

So there's two options...</description>

					<description>Try an absolute URL?

chasingdaisy.com/images/middle.gif

And why, when selected, does your text highlight in light blue?? 

I've yet to upgrade... good to have others do it before me!</description>
