   I have been working on my site over at http://www.madisonlee.org for my upcoming daughter and was having an issue with a random picture showing on one of the sidebar blocks. Can anyone offer any help? I can see it only in firefox in this screenshot I have circled it. http://www.madisonlee.org/firefox.jpg
   And I have included the IE also http://www.madisonlee.org/explorer.jpg

   Is this a loading issue? A style sheet issue or?

   Any ideas please grab me on AIM at itzsniderwork or at itzsnider@gmail.com

   Thanks folks for a great program and your help in advanced.

   Took me a few moments to figure it out... but I found it.....hte text of your count down counter is wrapped in a ul/li tag set.... and your CSS has the following (snipped for brevity).

   #sidebar ul {
   background:#ffeeee url(img/sidenav_bottom.jpg) no-repeat bottom;
   }

   Because your count down text falls within the side bar... and it a UL tag pair... it gets the background image at the bottom.

   Solutions: remove the ul/li pairs and replace them with p tags instead (so it looks like this:
   <li id="importantdates">
<p>100 days, 2 hours, 46 minutes, and 47 seconds left until until Madison comes!!</p>
</li>

   or add a class designator:
   <li id="importantdates">
<ul class='no-background'>
<li>100 days, 2 hours, 46 minutes, and 47 seconds left until until Madison comes!!</li> </ul>
</li>

   And then add the new class to the bottom of your CSS:
   .no-background-img { background-image: none; }
   (or you can make it transparent, what ever works.

   There's probably a couple of other ways too that I didn't think of.

   Look carefully .... it's the dark color band at the bottom of each ul section in the sidebar... it's an image.... you're thinking like I was... looking for a photo type image ... that's not what it is tho. If you look at it in Fx, you'll see some words appear over the dark color band... that was how I figured it out.
