   The background isn't repeating on my theme - I have no clue as to why it's not working. I have NO EXPERIENCE WITH IE7 - I totally skipped using it went from IE6 to Firefox, so I have no idea why it does the things it does (does anyone?)

   So here is my link: http://www.adultmartialartsprogram.com/

   I think this is the trouble code - but not sure
   

   #contentwrapper {
   background-image:url(images/contentwrapper.gif);
   }

   help?

   Try

   #contentwrapper {background:url(images/contentwrapper.gif);}

   I asked my client to give that a try earlier ( I don't have IE7 installed so I can't test what works or doesn't) and he said that didn't work.

   Well, the CSS hasn't changed on the site so perhaps he amended the wrong file? If you use CSS background-image, you also have to declare background-repeat. If you use the shorthand 'background' the default is to set the background to repeat.

   Try downloading the IE Tester. It will give you access to IE7 (and below) so you won't have to rely on clients to point out problems to you.

   thanks esmi - we changed the code to this:
   

   #contentwrapper {
   background:url(images/contentwrapper.gif) repeat-y;
   }

   And according to that program it's still not working... I know zilch about IE7 and why it does the things it does - so any help is appreciated :)

   IE7 shouldn't be having a problem with something as basic as 'background'. However, it can get snitty if you have any errors in your stylesheet. I'm picking up a single error in your main sheet related to #contentwrapperfooter. Try fixing that and see it it helps.
