Hi guys,
www.thehippodrome.org is my site. Everything is fine in firefox, but in internet explorer, the background image doesn't show up (it just shows up as white). Also, the mp3 plugin I used doesn't have the player show up in I.E either.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you all!

look close at the .css file..... I have run into this before too- make sure the file name reference Background-image: is right..... sometimes a .jpg and a .JPG cause heartache, sometimes it is as simple as example.jpg; and example.jpg ;, extra space before the ';'....
whatever it is it is in your .css and in the background declaration.

body {
font-size: 62.5%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */
font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
background: #d5d6d7 url('images/kubrickbgcolor.jpg');
color: #333;
text-align: center;
}
that's my body in the style css file. any thing i'm missing there?

a comma.
between #d5d6d7 and url.
also, split the declarations to avoid confusion for poor ol' ie...
do this after 'Sans-Serif;':
background-color:#d5d6d7;
background-image: url('images/kubrickbgcolor.jpg');
if that doesn't help, enter full URL, like ('http://xxxxxxxx)
that should do it for you.

oh, one more thing....use the full url as it limits confusion if you are going to a higher directory.....
you could do it like this:
URL('../images/djvdofnkjf.jpg');
or like this:
URL('./images/adsfbaefb.jpg');
but using the full path clears this up, and makes it easier to spot issues in .css.

that's definitely better, but the header is just like a pixel off. . .it's so annoying. also, the audio player doesnt show up, any idea how to get that going?
you're a livesaver man!

i would have to see your entire .css to help with the alignment..... but this is a little advice fwiw.... I use only margin and padding for alignment. I like using a page container as well.... I do it like this:
Body
{margin-left: 20%;
margin-right-20%;}
#Main-Container
{margin-left: 10%;
margin-right: 10%;}
and I never use absolute functions unless for a specific purpose. Also, I recommend using known sizes as opposed to percentages or em's.....so pt's and px are my rule of thumb.
as far as ie and media player, that could be a thousand things. You might want to load up a gallery like g2 and integrate it to the page/blog. it makes those things easier to load and for users to interact with regardless of users available plug-ins..their inherit flash player is a good thing.
check me out at here for an idea of what I am talking about....
