Two background images in IE 8

[KeredDrahcir]

I need to give a division tow background images. I found tha it could give it two background images and it works in Firefox, Safri, Opera and Google Chrome but not in IE 8. I have found it works in IE9 but is there a way to give a division two background images in IE 8, 7 & 6?

The CSS code I'm using is:

background-image: url(../images/box-top.jpg), url(../images/box-middle.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat, repeat-y;
background-position: top center, center center;

You can never expect modern options such as this to work in IE. At a minimum, it takes IE 3 years to catch up to modern browsers and, typically, 10 years or more.

I didn't expect IE to be able to do it that way but is there another way to do it while we wait for the rest of the world to upgrade to IE9?

[drhowarddrfine]

IE9 is a sideways move, not an upgrade. Moving to any other browser is an upgrade.

No. There is no other way.

Are they any other options? I can't think of another way to do this.

Without seeing the design you are trying to achieve it is difficult to offer a proper solution.

However it is likely that what you want can be achieved by using two divs.

[KeredDrahcir]

I thought of using two divs but the content had to flow out of one and into the other.

I still may be possible using absolute positioning but again I would need to see an image of the design to give you more direction.
