IE supports this background, but FF won't....
Here's the code:
Quote:
Ive also noticed that after putting this code in on some pages of FF, it will add width and height on its own and not on other pages.. also the Background 2.gif will be displayed as Background%202.gif when that pic - 202 doesn't even exist.
So basically, the above code is on every page.. and IE reads it correctly but FF either alters it or adds to it. Any suggestions to a fix? I tried .jpg as well to no avail.
Thanks

the %20 is added because there is a space in the filename.
get rid of the spaces and the path should NOT be to a local hard drive

body {background-color:#fff;
backgroung-image:url(sample.gif);
background-repeat; none;
background-position:center}

At this point, I choose not to enter the link as Im still experimenting... plus a Mod told me to post the code if not the link so there it is.
Are you saying it's reading from the hard drive and should not be? I don't understand.. if it's not from a hard drive, how does it find the background? Wait.. the image should be on the server??

The reason it worked on IE:
You developed the site with IE and IE cached the image located on your hard drive
The reason it didn't work on FF:
you probably checked it on FF once uploaded, and since the internet does not have a C drive it was not found, yet IE was still working off your cache.
Hitting ctrl f5 would of shown broken logo in IE as well, as this refreshes from the server

Right on Busy.
Problem was, at W3 schools' tutorials' I went from beginning to advanced in like two days. Im impatient but in a non-violent way, whatever than means. I went through looking for things that stood out and interested me the most, later to find out that the problem I was having was something I had overlooked.
Live and let learn..
Thanks folks

So to wrap it All up (in case other noobs read this thread)...
a bunch of %20 means youve got some useless spaces in the code...
link files on html without using drive letters like c: , a: , etc...
remember to read all else before trying out...
