Background image not repeating in IE?

Snootles always so simple. I thought, incorrectly, that max-width:100% would take care of that. Thanks!

If so, this is due to the size of the element, rather than a background issue. This appears to be caused by the rule display: table on #wrapper in the inline stylesheet, which causes shrink-to-fit behaviour, shrinking to the min-width of 1000px. This rule makes no sense as the contents of the wrapper are not table row elements.

You'd be better off with the header image outside of the fixed-width-centered wrapper and with a plain width: 100% to fill the page. That stylesheet itself is in a downlevel-hidden conditional comment which will affect all versions of IE except 7, which seems a bad idea... is that really what you meant, and what were you trying to achieve with the display: table hack? All the -moz- rules also seem totally superfluous.

This is a simple layout that should not need hacks. Irrelevant aside: you've also included an XML declaration at the top of the file.It's best to omit this for HTML-compatible-XHTML, as it causes IE6 to fall back to Quirks Mode (even worse rendering than normal for IE6), and in any case, as it specifies only XML 1.0 in UTF-8, which are the defaults anyway, it's pointless. For HTML-compatible-XHTML you should be setting the charset parameter to UTF-8 in a tag instead.

Well, you should be sending the content type via the server, markup is pointless for this purpose. – reisio Jul 1 '10 at 20:54.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
