 * i’ve been using this code in my stylesheet for several months:
 * html { background: url(images/bg/leftbg.png) no-repeat; }
    body { background:#
   fff url(images/bg/headerbg.png) repeat-x; }
 * to get two background images, one that appears on the lefthand side and one that
   repeats across the top. it’s worked fine.
 * suddenly today, any styling i do on the html element stopped working. I can’t
   think what I could have done to cause it. any ideas? help appreciated!
 * scratching head,
 * Chris

 * [http://sidemission.com/](http://sidemission.com/), the css is sitewide. there
   should be (and always has been) a graphic sitting in the left-hand margin…
 * css is here: [http://sidemission.com/wp-content/themes/tma/style.css](http://sidemission.com/wp-content/themes/tma/style.css)

 * I think you may have a problem right at the top of style.css:
 *     ```
       /* Import stylesheets and hide from IE/Mac \*/
   
       @import "lib/compressed.css";f
   
       /* End import/hide */
       ```
   
 * Try getting rid of that `f`.

 * esmi, thank you, it worked! just a careless typo caused all that stress, lesson
   learned… thanks for your good eye.

 * No problem. Sometimes it just takes a fresh pair of eyes. 🙂
