[COLOR=#282828][FONT=helvetica]Hi there, [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#282828][FONT=helvetica]Got a problem, not sure what is to blame![/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#282828][FONT=helvetica]Basically, hand-coding a local news site, and can’t find the problem??[/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#282828][FONT=helvetica]However, the background image appears in FF, Opera, Safari etc… but not in IE8…  
Any ideas why?[/FONT][/COLOR]
