Greetings!

I am testing out a new site design here:

http://rene.kabis.org/temp/index.html

Please forgive the strange characters that might pop up, I haven’t
converted the file to UTF-8 yet, but I’m using UTF-8 characters...

Anyhow, I am using the IE7 Standards Compliance patch to force IE to
conform to web standards. Early in the design, things were going nearly
perfect, with the background attaching nicely to the screen and not
scrolling.

However, something changed recently, and I haven’t been able to track it
down. I was hoping that someone could take a look at my source and
figure out why the background(s) aren’t attaching to the screen anymore.
That is, they used to be locked in position, not moving when I scrolled,
but this isn’t happening anymore. In fact, I can’t lock them into the
correct places anymore (bottom left, fixed) at all.

It looks beautiful in Firefox and Opera, but it’s crap in IE due to IE’s
appalling lack of standards support. Even IE7 isn’t helping anymore,
probably due to something I did.

Suggestions?

Thanks.
René Kabis
