Background and space issues in IE

A coworker has designed a site. The page looks great in all
browsers except IE. In IE the background behind the text shows up
white. It should have a textured background like the rest of the
page. There is also some spacing issues with the graphics. Here is
the link so that you can see what I'm talking about. Any
suggestions are welcome!

You're missing the ''#''

%26lt;body bgcolor=''1c1a12''%26gt;

should be

%26lt;body bgcolor=''#1c1a12''%26gt;



You have a couple of other issues which would be worth
addressing

Hope this helps

Background and space issues in IE
Thanks for the suggestions. He corrected the bgcolor issue
and went through the W3 validator. It's still showing up white in
IE. Is it just because he's using an iframe and frames are
horrible?

He apparently did not validate the page being displayed in
the iframe:


http://www.laurelmanor.net/test/aboutustext.html



He also has a link to a style sheet that doesn't exist:

%26lt;link href=''ro about us test/background.css''
rel=''stylesheet''

type=''text/css''%26gt;

The style sheet should be here:


http://www.laurelmanor.net/test/ro%20about%20us%20test/background.css



Note that using spaces, punctuation or special characters in
file or

folder names will cause problems and should be avoided.



Also, there are numerous instances in the style sheets where
the # has

been omitted from colors.
