But we don't have a clear definition of "work". It *does* use the
image as a background - but Opera and MSIE aren't using the image in
the way that the O.P would like.

Sure; but specifying a colour and no image would surely be as
effective?

Certainly a URL would have been useful, as always. Which is why I
made one myself, in the hope that the O.P would at least challenge it
- possibly even produce one which showed what they really meant.
