ok, this is enough to officially make me despise mac/ie. the problem went away when i commented out the doctype. the most standards compliant browser my ass. more standards compliant than win/ie my ass too. who cares if it's "more" standards compliant if it means better support for the more esoteric aspects of css when it can't get simple things like this right. i can't believe specifying a doctype, totally valid xhtml for the doctype and totally valid css would break *so* horribly. i should *not* have to remove a doctype in something that's supposedly the king's shit in order to get something as simple as a background image for a table cell to work. i'm almost tempted to leave the doctype in and have the design break in mac/ie for the main website as a sign of my distaste.
enough of this crap, i'm starting in on the guinness alittle early this evening -- like *now*.
ugh,
