Hi,

I made up some pages and the background for these pages is background.gif,
these pages were edited by MS FrontPage2000.
However, I found in the IE6, most pages background is empty, I checked the
script but got no clue.
I am using Tomcat 3.2 running on my NT4+sp6a machine.
Would someone kindly give me some suggestion?

Jason

If the page is generated by a servlet, the browser will request
"background.gif" using the servlet URL as a base - won't work.
Try this:
1. put the background.gif file where Tomcat can legally serve it
2. use a src for the image that gives a complete address
-or- use a BASE tag in the HTML that tells the browser where
to request the image from.
