Solve : Background won't repeat in Explorer?

Answer»

Hi, one PAGE of my website works fine in Firefox, but not in Explorer.  The URL is:

http://www.worldhungerteam.com/news.html

The background steps just fine in Firefox, but it truncates and stalls in Explorer.  I'm sure this is a simple fix, but I can't figure it out.  Can anyone help?  Thanks,

Randallbackground looks fine here in FF, IE, and Chrome.background looks fine here in FF, IE, and Opera. Something's not right with the site somehow, IE 8 and chrome are displaying them differently. See screenshots below (IE8 vs Chrome):

I imaging the page is supposed to look like the way it looks in Chrome. Is that right?Yes, the final image from Chrome is the way it is supposed to look.  Why would the page display correctly for some viewers and not others? That's IE for you, unfortunately - however frustrating it is.

What you can do is use more IE conditional comments. You are using some for just IE in general, but I think you should add another for IE8 specifically.

Code: [Select]<!--[if IE 8]>
<style type="text/CSS">
   /* styles */
</style>
<![endif]-->
That didn't seem to affect it... but it did lead me to try something else, which was to make separate CSS forms for each page.  By changing the background height command manually, I achieved the desired results. .

min-height:300px;

By changing the height in this command line manually and refreshing the page in IE, I tweaked each page to make it work.

Thanks for your ADVICE; much appreciated!Glad it worked out.
IE has a lot to say about the min-height CSS property. Do a Google and you'll see for yourself.

Hopefully MS will allow for more input from web developers in the future regarding the development of IE but that doesn't really sound likely.
