I came across a baffling little thing today in respect to this.
In all browsers I have bar one, the background image in this div
shows fine. But quite missing in Mac IE! Stumped me for a while
but in between teasing the hell out of Luigi, I kept coming back
to it and it was that it was the only browser that did not like
the single quotes around the reference to the pic concerned

It alone did not understand

background: #fffcdf url('pics/montageStrip50.jpg');

As it happened there was no need not to put in doubles, this
fixed it.

I like to be nice to this browser in spite of never using it in
anger any more.
