I have just discovered what appears to be a bug in IE 6 and am curious if
anyone else has experience with it. If a style sheet contains a link to an
image that does not exist, it borks all other images in the same sheet. And
I say "borks" over breaks because it doesn't just break them, it kills the
style declaration altogether. For example, I have a background image set in
one style sheet and then override it in another. Below this override, I have
a link to an image that doesn't exist. So, with the situation described
above, IE is freaking out about the broken link and messing up the other
links. The weird part is that if the override declaration isn't working, I
should still have the original, right? Nope, instead I get no background
image.

may be a silly question but.... are you expressly stating height and width
parameters on the reference that is broken [nonexistent]?


initial thought...

Yes, the div that the image is set as a background of does have a  
width and height defined.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes

I know this is more of an HTML question but I have an odd problem.  I  
have a "banner" that I am helping a friend out with that is kind of  
looping the image because I have it set as the background of the  
<td>.  What can be done to stop this?  I've tried specifying the  
height of the table and it doesn't do anything till I get above the  
actual size of the image and then it continues the image loop that it  
has began on it's own.  Even if I set the height to much smaller than  
the actual height of the background image I still get this exact same  
result.

You can see what I am talking about at
http://www.cncmedia.net/countdown.html 
  the upper is the problem child and the lower is the exact same image  
but just an image (not set in a table or anything).

Any Help???

Viewing the source shows this:

<img src="numbers/background.jpg">

Which is a duplicate of the image background in the td tag above it.   
Remove that and your extra image will be gone.

Is that what you are asking about?

True that, additionally, I changed some stuff around and put things in that

A value of the background property is 'background-repeat', which  
controls whether the image repeats or not. Also, I would recommend  
setting all of style properties within a the style attribute. Thus,  
your block of code would look like this:

<table style="border: 0">
	<tr>
		<td style="background: url('numbers/background.jpg') center
no- 
repeat; width: 755px; height: 50px; text-align: right, vertical-align:  
center">


Also, is there a specific reason that you are using a table for this?  
If there is only one cell in your table, then you are misusing a table.

Perfect, thanks guys.  Using a some css and setting background to not  
repeat did the trick.

This is actually not a web page or anything, this will be set inside a  
table (hence the use of a table) and this is merely the code (the  
reason for my comments on where to place the code).  My friend wanted  
a count down timer to an event using his graphics...so I provided that  
for him :-)

Thanks again for the quick help.
