Ok getting somewhere albeit painfully slow.
I moved the background image from page-container to center and is now showing in both browsers except it appears IE8 is ignoring the margin-top reference below
Code:
#center {
background: url(images/custom/tablebg.jpg) no-repeat;
float: left;
position: relative;
width: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin-top: 409px;
Anyone have a clue how to get IE to move the image down 409px?
EDIT......Cleared cache and all sweet.
Thanks
