As I was creating the tutorial for the input style I came across a CSS syntax sensitivity with IE6-IE8. It appears the following syntax will cause IE6-IE8 not to display the background image.

CSS:

#example {
     background:url(../images/someimage.jpg)no-repeat top left;
}

All looks kinda normal right? Wrong. After 30 minutes of trying to figure out why it would not display the background image, I found that there NEEDS to be a space inbetween the closing parenthesis and the start of the “n” from no. All the other browsers (Safari, Opera, Chrome) had no trouble compiling with this syntax however.

Of course this is probably my own fault for not writing up my syntax correctly but I just wanted to give a heads up and mention this in case any of you were scratching your head wondering what could be wrong…
