Stupid CSS Bugs

body
body {background-image: url(bg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat}

Take the first "body" out and put a ; after repeat and see what happens

Well duuuuh, that extra "body" was the culprit. me
(I wish there was a CSS validator)

I thought the ";" was if you were going to add more things to the list of attributes. I put it in and left it out and it didn't affect anything.

Well, that fixed it in Firefox but it's not appearing in IE.

Also, if you're making changes to an external css file and not seeing the changes in your html page (especially in IE), one thing that often "refreshes" everything is to load your external css file in your browser and then load your html page in the same window. It's harder for IE (and other browsers) to act like they don't know about your changes after you've just rubbed their faces in it.

A refresh using Ctrl+F5 will force the browser to download all fresh content from the server.

When using this for a dotted border:

p.dotted {border-style: dotted;
border-color: #0000ff}

is there any way to adjust the size of the dots? All I've found is thick, medium and thin....

I found it. This works:

border-width: 2px
