CSS issues Mozilla firebird

hello

I'm having a problem loading a background image using CSS.
The code works fine in IE6 but in Mozilla Firebird and Opera 7 it doesn't display the images at all.

All other styles are applied properly but those background images just don't show (in firebird and opera).

I am linking the external stylesheet using this code:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/test/includes/style.css" type="text/css" media="all" />

so that's an absolute URL to the CSS file. In this file I create the selector like this:

#nav a
{
background: transparent url(/test/images/bl_curve.gif) bottom left fixed no-repeat;
}

so that's using an absolute URL for the image.

The entire page is valid XHTML and CSS, as confirmed by the W3C validators.

Any ideas?

you should change that from background:... to background-image:

but i'm setting the background color too.
i believe what i've used is the correct "shorthand" syntax for doing both at the same time

I wasn't able to replicate the error—but I couldn't use your path, and I don't know your directory structure. I don't see anything that would cause the error, but if I were betting, I'd say there is something. Moz and Opera are more likely to be correct than IE (especially since both render differently than IE). For a test, move the image as needed to use a relative path.

cheers,
