Okay, first; I have NO idea what I'm doing in CSS (lolol).

However, could this be your problem?

Code: Select all

 background: url('file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Danny%20g/Local%20Settings/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Content.IE5/img/lefthead.gif') no-repeat top left;

Seems to have an address leading back to your own hard drive which will display in DreamWeaver coz it has access to it, but your browser will be looking for a url address in your web space to download the page and content from.

No sorry, it's not anything to do with that because that isnt the file im trying to access, the file is in the #main part of the .css file and it just doesnt seem to wanna work. In the html it's <div class="main"> part

Best method:

background: #color url(../images/foo.jpg) top/center right/left repeat-x/y etc..) Additionally you can use px values to place the image too. e.g. for say a single image rollover effect.

#foo a {
background: #color url(../images/foo.jpg) 0px 0px no-repeat)
}

#foo a:hover {
background: #color url(../images/foo.jpg) 0px -50px no-repeat)
}

Good news.
What was up with it?

There's a 404 on the homepage button as you've linked it to http://www.obscureinspiration.co.uk/index/index.htm.
