Loads in Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari. Will not show any images on my CPU in the latest IE or Google Chrome.:helpme

Any Ideas?

I was about to finish the image retouches and page layout, but if I cant get 2 div tags to show the BG images why bother!

I am open to suggestions on this one!

You have background images in your CSS - but no content whatsoever inside, so the DIV is not rendered. Put this inside the DIV:  

...but from an SEO perspective, having NO indexable content on a page is not very good. Try the same with images and ALT tags, that's something the spiders can understand better.

Sorry I proved myself wrong when I tried the   thing. The problem is with the images: chrome doesn't load either image, paste the URL of them into the address bar and try it yourself. Most probably the jpeg encoding (which in your case is, according to irfanview, JPEG, CMYK) is wrong, that's why you have huge images (560kbytes for a BG image that is just 20 pixels wide is way too large in my opinion).

totally aggreed on the image size, but I thought it useless to optimize if they were not visible?

I will try the alt tags and see what happens......

Thanks for the input thus far.

try some other shit for saving the images... I see you use ps cs3 for graphics - save for web should do the trick

And the answer for the gande prize is................. SilentSound!

Absolutely right, no content in the Div tag will cause Google Chrome and IExplorer to show nothing. Background images are not visible unless content exists inside the Div tag.

Appreciate the help, thanks again.

Saving for web causes image degradation in this case, so I just brought down the image quality for smaller size. Also in RBG now. Thanks for the advice though, sometimes the basics are overlooked when I get into a frustrated frame of mind!

yeah you need quality down - but it's not an issue when you can have an image ~800 bytes instead of 500 kbytes with no noticeable quality loss... good luck dude, hit me up if ya have any problems

I think you were right the first time. Depends on the quirks of the browser. Try adding several &nbsp; placeholders or even a <P> tag with &nbsp; in it a few times. Or text the same color as the background of the image. But not much, only a letter or two.

Or follow other image suggestions for seo purposes.

yes, but then I tried it with the corrected images and it worked - but quirks suck bad....

I did some research on this, because it was annoying the hell out of me even after I fixed it....

Some browsers require content within a tag to display it. If you toss a 1000px height on an empty table with 1 cell vert & horiz you get no display on Iexplorer or Chrome. When you place a dash "-" you get the table to show.

Just some handy info to have right there!

Thanks again for all the response!
