Quatrux 4 Report post Posted September 2, 2008 (edited) Really? maybe it doesn't find the path or something? try using: <style type="text/css">body{ background: #ffffff url('background.jpg') repeat; }</style> It should work on IE, unless there is another problem, try browsing and learning a little bit from the simple tutorial site: w3schools Edited September 2, 2008 by Quatrux (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted December 6, 2009 More about @charset...Css Background Not Showing Upin IeI just noticed this problem too and took a look at my CSS stylesheet. Wherever " @charset "utf-8"; "is, make SURE it is on line 1 of your CSS document. I had a comment on line 1 and @charset "utf-8"; on line 2, which caused the background to not show up in Google Chrome. Now that they have swapped, the problem has been fixed.

iGuest 3 Report post Posted October 19, 2010 CSS background not working in IECss Background Not Showing Upin IeNot sure if someone had the same problem, but this was also my issue. I found out what the problem was in my case. Since my JPEG background was working fine in FF and Chrome, and not IE, I opened up again the image in Photoshop and found out that it was in CMYK mode. IE does not read CMYK so make sure your JPEG is in RGB mode. Again, this was the problem in my case and now works fine in all browsers.
