Ok, I just validated my file C:/test.htm at http://validator.w3.org/.
It objected (rather obscurely) to the missing TITLE element. I added
<TITLE>blah</TITLE> to the HEAD element, and now it validates as: "This
Page Is Valid HTML 4.01 Transitional!".
I re-checked what I said in my original post, and it is still the same.
The DOCTYPE element stops the background mage from rendering when I run
the HTML file from my hard disk :-(
Any ideas why?
