can't seem to find out the solution to current issue

two of my background images (with in div tags 'salt' and 'wine') are not showing at all, not just incorrectly, not at all !!

tried using * html hack to remove margins, but that seems to make matters worse!!

any ideas?

It's because they don't have any content in them. Add an " " in there and it should work.

More importantly: what's the purpose of creating an empty <div> instead of just using <img />? If you're going to put meaningless empty markup into something just to apply style, you might as well just directly insert the image. Not that you should do either, but why are you apply these background images to #leftcol and #rightcol instead?

This is such a simple layout, but is suffering from symptoms of divitis.

to be honest, i knew that would work, but thought there might be a better way that i couldn't see.
