background-image, what am I overlooking

Hi,

as far as I know this always worked for a simple webpage up till a few
days ago

BODY {
background-color: white;
background-image: url(img/footer.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: bottom left;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}


The problem is that MSIE 6 does give the back ground-image but Opera and
Firefox (both latest) don't anymore. Am I missing a semi-colon somewhere
I don't see what is wrong. I did work on CSS but in another area where I
added an image for <ul> bullets (that does work)

ul.stem {
list-style-image: url(img/stemform.gif);
}

Did you change it? The background image is visible on Firefox 1.0.2.
Well, not on Opera.

The part of the style sheet that sets the background looks simple enough.
I'd suggest that you test by removing CSS rules until the problem vanishes,
to find out what's wrong - or maybe this is just an Opera bug.

Your body has no height since all it's children are absolutely
positioned.

IIRC something changed in the CSS2.1 proposals with regard to correct
browser behaviour, Opera and recently Firefox have been brought inline
with the new rules.

Thanks that is indeed where the problem is. The old solution doesn't
work anymore even with providing height parameters to the body (as it
should be at the bottom of pages of different length, it now seems to
end up at minimum height). Would you have a solution using a function
under body as I do now or would I have to put a <div> at every bottom
with a background image? Does this still work with MSIE?

Thanks in advance

You can't get it to work as it works in IE, it isn't spec compliant.
Adding a footer div isn't going to help, as it would have to be
absolutely positioned, and you can only position it in relation to the
viewport.

You could style <html> with the background image rather than <body>?
