hello,

I'm having some trouble getting a background to show up using stylesheets
and I'm about to lose my mind. ;o)

Here's what I have:

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!--
	BODY { background: blueback.jpg;
		 color: #0000A0; 
	       font-family: Arial, Geneva, Sans-Serif; 
	       font-size: 10pt }

	a:link { color: #EA0000; 
	         font-family: Arial, Geneva, Sans-Serif; 
		   font-size: 10pt; 
		   text-decoration: none }

	a:visited { color: #C0C0C0; 
	          font-family: Arial, Geneva, Sans-Serif; 
		    font-size: 10pt; 
		    text-decoration: none }
-->
</STYLE>

All the other styles above work except the background.  I've used
background and background-image but neither works.

If I put the background in the body tag:

<BODY BACKGROUND="blueback.jpg">

it works.  I have no idea why it won't show up.  I'm using Explorer 4 and I
think it should work.

Any ideas?
