   I am having problems with my header image not showing in internet explorer. It is fine in firefox. I have tried everything I can think of, it is just not working. If someone could take a look and give me some pointers.

   Ok I still need help. I have read so many header and internet explorer problems and applied what was said and it still has not helped. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me.

   What theme are you using?

   It's the default theme, judging by the file path to the css. What I immediately notice is that in your header you have #header {background: url("http://shallay.com/art/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickheader.jpg')

   Note the double quote at the start and the single quote at the end. That could well mess things up in one browser but leave the image showing in another.

   I can give you a list a mile long of people who have had the same problems that you're having with that theme. To my knowledge NONE of them have ever fixed the problem. I strongly recommend that you go here and find a none-kubric style theme and use that instead.

   Hmm..

   1st of all, I'm very new to WP, and have just recently begun 'tearing it apart', becoming familiar with the codebase, engine and so..

   That being said, my skills in CSS & (x)HTML are decent, so I'll try and see if I can aid you in this..
   I'll give a couple of suggestions to what might be wrong/throwing your layout off.

   First off, correct your stylesheet at the very top;
   

   #header {
   	background: url('images/kubrickheader.jpg')no-repeat bottom center;
   	}

   - insert whitespace between ) and no-repeat. Tidy. Mmm.

   Also, try putting in the full url to your images, ie.
   root/wp-content/themes/themename/images/kubrickheader.jpg

   Another thought;
   - Try and strip the functions.js file in the root of your theme dir, for everything related to the kubrick_header_img option of letting the user switch the colors in the header.
   - if you are uncertain about what to drop and what to keep in this particular file, refrain from editing it at all, and post it on here in some way or another, and I'm sure someone will clean out the code.

   Just a thought, as i can tell your theme has only been slightly modified from the original Kubrick, and as such I suspect a lot of irrelevant statements in the Javascript floating about, not really doing anything, but quite possibly interfering with your header for various reasons.

   Yes, i specifically highlighted 'thought', as I'm not at all sure that removing the functions of the kubrick_header_img, will produce any result/significance to your question at hand, and I'd love to be proved wrong..
   On the other hand, tho - why keep it if it's not used anymore? All things aside, it's just more code for you to look up and figure out...

   Cheers-

   Any one who has even looked inside Kubrick is going to be in big demand:)

    What'd ya mean by that, Root?

    I've noticed Kubrick takin' a lot of heat in here, what's the scoop?

    I'm not really in a position to judge for myself, as I've only just begun looking into the intestines of WP..

    Thx

    It might not be appropriate to go into Kubrick in any detail. Suffice to say that most of the people with the technical ability to understand its machinations are also the least inclined to do so. It's become a kind of No Go area. Kind of tough on the first timer.

    Ok thank you soo much. I had given up and then I finally came back and checked again (yes I just left my site without header in IE). The problem was fixed when I entered the full url to the header so now it reads like this:

    #header {
    background: url('/art/wp-content/themes/default/
    images/kubrickheader.jpg')
    no-repeat bottom center;
    }

    I had tried entering what I thought was the full address but like CabGfx mentioned I needed to go all the way back to the root file. I changed that and bing - problem fixed. You have no Idea how many things I had tried. Thanks!
