on May 3rd, 2005Header Image not showing up on Mac/IE

It seems to be reported by many people, that the header image of our themes, do not load on Internet Explorer in the Mac platform.

I found out that the solution to that is, removing the single quote from the url attribute of the background property in the style.css file.

In the style.css file, look for
#header { background:url(’img/header.jpg’); }
and make it
#header { background:url(img/header.jpg); }

This will solve the problem.

    Double quoting (as per the W3C’s spec also works (testes on IE 5.2.3 on Mac 10.3.9)

    #header { background:url(”img/header.jpg”); }

    I tried both remedies and neither works for IE Mac. My site also causes IE and Safari 1.0 to download a file rather than display the page. Firefox is the only browser that gets close to getting it right. On PC it works, on Mac, it doesn’t display images. Anyone have any ideas what the hell is going on?

    Hello guys,
    I have a problem here. I just started using WordPress, and I have basically doing everything by myself. The help I got was in how to change templates.
    Now I want to add some features to the template, and change the picture, but I can’t do it because WordPress says “If this file was writable you could edit it.”. Is there anywhere I could go to find writable templates? Is there a way of changing that? I really am clueless. If you could help me, I would be very very thankful.

    Thanks!

    Aninha,

    It is something to do with your web hosting provider.

    you should change the permission of these files, on the web server on which your site is hosted.

    Please contact them and ask them, how you can change the permission of the files in the webserver.

    Please let me know if you need more help.

    Thanks.

    In response to Jamie Phelps:

    Your problem has to do with PHP. Similar problems were fixed by running “/wp-admin/upgrade.php” (type that after your blog URL). It sets a “html-type” argument in the page header which was not there initially.

    I figured out that my problems were not from CSS problems at all. I simply ran wp-upgrade.php and all is better. Not sure why, but glad it is. I also figured out that LiveCalendar plugin makes things go squirrely too.
