I have two ST 4.4.2 stores running. One has no appearance problems (croakcity.com). The other, bugsnbees.com, looks as it should using Firefox and Chrome, but when viewed using IE8 the left menu bar background images don't appear.
If I replace my edited reddish.css with an unedited reddish.css, there is no change.
The attached image shows the problem. Left, the IE8 view, middle the Firefox/Chrome view, and right the working croakcity.com IE8 view.
Any suggestions on why this is happening or how to resolve? I have not tried it on IE9 (IE9 makes my printer stop working).
