hey all

it appears that i am completely e-tarded when it comes to css. that’s what you get for spending your life with flash.

i have a div box with a top and bottom image, and then a background image that flows behind them, as you can see here:

in firefox it looks absolutely fine. in ie, however, a little tail part of the background image hangs over under the bottom part of the box, and there’s apparently nothing i can do about it.

for reference, the css doc is here:

if anyone could shed any light on this, i would be most grateful. i’ve been tearing clumps of hair out for hours now.
