images not showing up on some browsers

[Susan]

I don't want people to have to mess around with their internet explorer
preferences to see the images I put in my CSS code. But the images are not
showing up on the IE browser consistently. Can you check my code for me and
tell me if there is a problem with it?

#topbarleft{
float: left;
width: 288 px;
height: 162 px;
background-image: url('images/windylogo.gif');
border: 5px solid white
}

#topbarright{
float: leftclear;
margin-left: 288 px;
height: 162 px;
background: url('images/topcenterphoto.jpg') no-repeat;
background-color: white;
border: 5px solid white
}

#sidebar{
float: left;
width: 15%;
height: 650 px;
margin-top: 0 px;
background: url('images/oanlogo.gif') no-repeat center bottom;
background-color: white;
border-right: 5px solid white;
border-bottom: 10px solid white

}

Thank you so much!

and I'm still having difficulty with my fonts in IE although I changed h1 to
18pt in the CSS. They still show up small in Explorer (not Safari)

I see picture at the top and the button pics and the logo at left top and
the pic in right border bottom
using IE 6

 

[Susan]

Thanks. I checked and I think it is IE 5.2 that is the problem. Everything
comes up great in IE 6.0 and Safari.

It works well in IE 6 and Opera 8. No header images in Firefox or Netscape.
Sorry,. I'm not a code checker. (Don't know much about it)

In your CSS, you have a # before the names of the styles. Try using a period
instead such as:

..sidebar

Of course, this still may not work because you're setting a background to an
empty area. This may or may not work like you expect as the browser has some
discretion on whether or not it should expand or collapse the empty item.

Hope this helps,

Please give the site URL which would be easier so we with IE can actually
see the site.

I don't see any problem, looks fine to me. Using IE 6.0 SP2 XP Pro.

The first thing your page needs is a properly declared DOCTYPE. See
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/doctype/ or Google for DOCTYPE for more
info. I'd also suggest validating your CSS and HTML at http://www.w3.org/.
Look on the left hand side of the page under "W3C A to Z" for these two
validator resources.
