    background image issue with Internet Explorer 8

    Hi there, I am a newbie to Umbraco. My site was working fine up until recently when a background image started to tile in front of the content ONLY in Internet Explorer 8. It works OK in Firefox, Chrome, Safari. I checked the validation of the CSS and all seems OK. website: http://www.payrollday.ie/ 

    ANY ideas on how to fix this?

    I'd start by validating the html > http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.payrollday.ie%2F , looking especially at the unclosed divs.

    Then, most IE CSS problems can be solved by generous sprinklings of clearing floats and position:relative;

    Looks like you have some issues with your templates also, you have DOCTYPE declared twice...

    Hi David,

    If you don't already use it, I would highly recommend using the following when developing:

    1) Firefox

    2) Firefox Addin - Firebug ( Are there any web developers who don't use this every day!? )

    3) Firefox Addin - HTML Validator ( This is based on HTML tidy and validates every page as you view it so you can instantly see any HTML / XHTML errors. )

    When you have fixed the basic HTML issues it should be easier to figure out why your image is showing up at the wrong z-index.

    Cheers,

    Chris
