Tiled Background Not Tiling in Mac IE

[ShinyCDMan]

Hi guys...

I'm using the following min-height code from Mezzoblue, but the background tile just won't tile in Mac IE (works in all other browsers). Please can anyone advise?

STYLES:

/* for Mozilla/Safari/Opera */
*>#contentMinHeight {
padding-top:200px;
min-height:1px;
background:url('../img/bgdTile.gif') repeat-y;
}

*>#contentMinHeight #content {
margin-top:-200px;
}

/* for IE, with IE5/Mac backslash filter \*/
* html #contentMinHeight {
height:200px;
background:url('../img/bgdTile.gif') repeat-y;
}
/* end filter */


HTML:

<div id="contentMinHeight">
<div id="content">
content
</div>
</div>

I'd assign as close a background-color to the tile as possible so if the image doesn't tile, at least the color is close, then not sweat it... BECAUSE 'IE5.x' is 'dead to me'. I refuse to continue supporting it because it's >7 year old technology now, and is 5 years out of the latest.

I realize this leaves 'system' users high and dry, but you know what? Get a real computer.

Although if I were to venture a guess, I'd say that margin-top:-200 and padding-top:200 are your cause - frankly, what are you doing in your layout that warrants this? (but then I consider trying to do min/max height to be semi-foolhardy and an effort in futility)... if you yank the repeat-y and let it repeat in both dimensions, does it show up? If so, try adding 0px 200px to it, and see what happens.
