CSS interpretation on MAC

Causing 404 errors

My site's stylesheet validates OK but seems to be giving a problem with the browser type Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; AOL 5.0; Mac_PPC)

The problem CSS fragment is...
body { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #CCCC00;
background-color: transparent;
background-image: url('images/back23g.gif');
background-repeat: repeat; text-align: Left }

When this is parsed by the Mac browser, it attempts to retrieve the file with the single quotes in front and behind the filename - resulting in a 404 error.

Other images retrieved via the html code are fine - the problem is restricted to image urls contained in the css.

Any suggestions? As far as I know, I cannot just dump the single quotes from the CSS.

Hi OldFatherTime,

Judging by the W3C's Example [w3.org] you don't need the quotes. Try without...

Thanks Nick,

Hmmm... Think I'll clean the spots off my glasses the next time that I read anything from W3C...
