IE5 Mac and Background Images - 7/10/2003 14:13:15
Arrrggghhh! There is an inherent problem with IE5 on the Mac and using background images in CSS...
body{top:0;left:0;margin:0;padding:0;color:#000;background:#fff url(' /images/tile-3000.gif' ) repeat-x;}
I' ve bolded the offending syntax. Apparently IE5 on the Mac ignores single quotes in style sheets. Therefore your assigned background images do not display. This can make for a somewhat frustrating browsing experience for those doomed to using IE5 on the Mac.
I' ve always used the CSS feature of FP. Basically I write the CSS by hand using the FP interface. It appears that FP will not allow you to use anything other than a single quote when assigning background images. You delete them, and FP inserts them back. You change them to double quotes and FP changes it back to single quotes.
To work around this, I guess I need to edit my style sheets in NotePad instead of FP. Or, if someone around here knows how to get into the config files for the CSS formatting, maybe I can change the default behavior.
For background images to work in IE5 on the Mac, it is recommended that you use double quotes or no quotes at all. I believe the no quotes at all is the way to go as the Mac will rack up 404 errors in your logs if you are using a single or double quote.
