Problem With Macs

I have placed a background image on a table and Macs seem to have trouble with the URL('image.gif') in a style="background-image: url(); background-repeat: repeat-x;" of the table tag How do I fix this? I keep getting 404 errors only from Macs wanting the image. When I check using a non-mac system the page looks fine. Should I move it to the stylesheet?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

What browsers have you tested in? It would be easier if you had it up somewhere so we could see.

Sara, I have looke at it in the following browsers: Firefox, Opera, Konqueror, Mozilla

Just look at any inside page of my site, such as words.shtml. There is a header that has the site name in red against a black background. This is what is giving the error.

There are three possible ways to fix this.

1. Make sure you haven't accidentally specified the height or width of the div without a unit designation (i.e. no px or %). Macs are picky.

It should read width=50px height=50px NOT width=50 height=50

2. Try adding a 50px x 50px transparent GIF in the table instead of using  .

3. If the first two do not work try using the following code: background-image:url(http://whatever.com/image.gif)

if what imaginemn suggested does not work try this:-

Code:
background: url('http://whatever.com/image.gif');
or
Code:
background: url(http://whatever.com/image.gif);
