How to in IE?

backgrounds

[ChrisBolton]

Why oh why in IE, does the image not display in IE with the following CSS:

.footer {
clear: both;
height: 50px;
width: 900px;
background-color: #999;
background: url(../images/a/body/footerBg.jpg) no-repeat top left;

}

Does anyone know a way around this without adding another div?

Thanks in advance.

Chris.

Just a thought ...

Instead of

background-color: #999;
background: url(../images/a/body/footerBg.jpg) no-repeat top left;

Do this

background: #999 url(../images/a/body/footerBg.jpg) no-repeat top left;
