*SOLVED* Background images

[coldkill]

OK i have a stylesheet with the attributes for a list item but it doesn't display a background image for that item although the list lines up correctly and shows how it should incl. text colour etc.

Any ideas? Heres the HTML generated by a PHP script.
It's only one list item it does have all the required tags etc.

Thanks in advance,
Cold
[code]<li>
<div id="mhead">
    <a href="#" title="Assault AirLift: Brief" onclick="hide_toggle( 'linkcat2' )">Brief</a>
</div>
<div id="menu">
    <ul id="linkcat2" style="display:">

     <li><a href="http://www.assault-airlift.com/index.php?module=races" title="Assault AirLift: Meat Bags, Greenlings and toy soldiers">Survivors</a></li>
        <li><a href="http://www.assault-airlift.com/index.php?module=features" title="Assault AirLift: Driving around IS A FEATURE!">Features</a></li>

OK background colours do work but the images don't any ideas?

[coldkill]

Ooookay. It works with the style attribute but not with the actual stylesheet if it is in a seperate file. Any ideas?

care to explain how? its a hit and miss one for me sometimes, as i'm sure sticking '!important' at the end of all my definitions is not necessarily the best way...

it's sometimes the path with me. I tried the paths but that was the problem. When you are testing background images if you right click where it is supposed to be (and it's not) and click view bg image and see where it is trying to get it from. With a div it should be able to have a background image.
