It's odd, it works on my machine at work, but not at my machine at home. Same versions of IE. I'll try the cache thing at home. I just use it for testing anyways.

I think the image loading issues in mac ie seem to happen considerably more often when you have your browser set to not use the cache at all. If you turn the caching back to the default setting a lot of those problems will go away.

I'm at work now and IE seems to display it fine here. I had emptied the cache 3 or 4 times over the course of testing. Must just be IE's craptastic rendering capabilities.
Thanks again!

thanks.
Ok, there is no problem with your code. I have found that sometimes IE doesn't load images, which is what it is doing with yours. It works fine on mine.
Try dumping your cache and perhaps I would drop the comment or the "

I will have a look but I need to dig out IE from 2003 and blow the dust off.
I have put in a comment on my site that redirects all MAC IE Users to a separate page. If you are using IE have a look here

i am on a pc at the mo so can't look at your page in the offending software... but why not just do a separate IE MAC only stylesheet.

V4, thanks for that constructive input. I'm not blaming IE. I'm just wondering why it's not looking 100% in IE. If you can't help, why bother posting?
NE, I've already convinced my client to switch to FF, but it's her clients who won't switch, of which she has quite a few. They're either on dial up, or don't want to bother downloading. So I'm stuck in a situation where I have to make it look acceptable in IE.

SOOOOO, if anyone has some advice as to how to GET THIS TO WORK IN IE, I'm all ears.
Thanks!

Why bother making it work in IE on a Mac? It's been quite a while since Microsoft even supported this piece of crap and I'd venture to guess that very few Mac users are on IE. If the client is asking for it, tell them to use Safari or Firefox.

Can anyone tell me why this is happening in IE 5.2 for Mac?

If you can't see it, you're lucky. There are huge pieces of the background img's missing. It looks fine in Safari and Firefox.
And, I know. The other pages are a complete mess. I'm in the process of fixing it. =)
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!!
