    Default Image background is off or doesn't show in FF

    I put an image as a background and it looks like it should in I.E., but in Firefox. on my computer it's not there, and on others it shows in a strange location. Is there some way to fix this? I made this for a friend of mine about 16 months ago and I do an occasional update, so I don't html, much and css even less.

    Any suggestions?

    It looks the same to me in IE6, IE7, and FF 2.0.0.1+ on Windows XP (Home and Pro) on a 1024x768 resolution.

    There is a car in the background; and when I view it in different browsers, the site looks the same. I will be adding some screenshots in a few minutes.

    //EDIT: Screenshots are attached.

    Thanks, but I meant under the black box. Click on the green X and you see more grid/diamond plating and a car in the center....or you do in I.E. but not in FF.

    Thanks.

    Ok, I see what you are talking about, for some reason though it seems that in both browsers the background image doesn't show up until you scroll the main page down. Anyways, in your css, take out this part (in red):

    Code:
    .tablebck {
    background-image: url(grfx/btm.jpg);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: left top;
    background-attachment: fixed;
    background-color: #000000;
    }
    See if that does anything for you. Hope this helps.

    Huh....in I.E. it's stationary behind the text. That is what I wanted. I put top and left so that in FF it would be behind other stuff....because I can't make it like I.E.

    I tried removing that part of the class, but I can't see it. (I have 1920x1440 resolution so I don't know where on the screen it is.

    Thanks

    And the picture is dark so the text is a little more visible
