yeah, but this is a background image for an element, like say, .banner that is positioned absolute somewhere at like 600x130, just doesnt show at all in firefox.
this isnt a background for the entire page

http://www.DNEexists.com/michael… go to root folder to see the html.
i changed it a bit, but it's still not showing up, the color banner above everything and the logo on the left. all that's showing is text in firefox.

what's the difference between a div and a span?

I don't see a single background-image declaration in your css. maybe you changed it since posting?
I don't think FF likes empty tags.
try adding an NBSP inside "banner".Scarabin:
Span displays in-line. you can have it within a passage of text and it will not affect the text flow. (eg. 'a href')
Div displays block like a paragraph or table. A block that follows a block in the code will wrap to the next line unless a width and float are set.
Divs are for high-level structure. Spans are for in-text
styling.

Do you have the developer toolbar?
I take the z-index out of your style and the logo shows up for me.
BTW your code looks pretty damn messy. get yourself a validator tool as well and that will solve a lot of your probs.
I've got 50 warnings on your page
for starters you've got 2 opening body tags.

yeah, never used a developer tool, mostly just do everything myself. probably should look into that.
thanks for the help, i was beginningn to think it might be the z-index. word.

no probs man.
google mozilla developer extensions and download developer toolbar, and a validator extension.
if you want to develop in CSS those are great tools (along with a good CSS book)
If you develop in standards compliance in Firefox FIRST, your site will look good in FF. It's IE that's F'd, but there are hacks for things that don't work in it.

word.
