 any ideas ?

i'm gonna guess that your CSS file doesn't live in the same location 
as the HTML page -- in a different directory perhaps?

the path to the image must be from the CSS file, not the HTML page 
calling the CSS file...

so if your HTML file lives in a directory called foo, and the image 
you want is bar.gif, you might have had the following:
	../images/bar.gif

but if the CSS file lives in the root, this path won't work and 
you'll need the following:
	images/bar.gif

however, you should really consider using root-relative addresses so 
it doesn't matter whether the CSS file (or other references to the 
image) move around:
	/images/bar.gif

finally, this is a best guess... without a sample oage, i am only 
hitting the most likely scenario here... if this doesn't solve it, 
you're on your own without a sample page to show...
