I actually did have a background assigned to the H1 tag. it was set to inherit. however, I removed the h1 tag and still no solution. Then instead of inheriting the backgrounds, I actually went in and set the same background on all of them. still no avail. I just don't get it. I've assigned background image to all the different divisions and also tried assigning it only to the header then inheriting the background from all the others but IE still does not recognize the proper background. Any other ideas?
