Broken CSS background image in IE6

I'm having a hard time getting the title graphic of the following webpage to display in IE6.
http://ambercare.ardham.com
I have tried several things that I found Googling around, but to no avail.
It seems to appear correctly in FF and IE7.

Any help would be great!
Thanks.

Very unusual. But since you have no text inside, why don't you just make it an image instead of a div with a background?

Good Question. Thanks for the reply.

I was doing it that way to specify a particular style reference based on which WordPressMU site was being accessed so that each site could have a different visual style. I could do it with an img tag, I suppose. I was trying to avoid that to keep a standard in my stylesheets, but I'm willing to do whatever needs to be done.

Is there no way to fix this in CSS?

of course there is always a way! But first I want to know a few things..

why are you using a <span /> in that way? Cause it doesn't do anything... (I'm debugging with a FireFox plugin FireBug.. I can disable css styles and by doing this with your span I can't see any changes...) and I'm not sure it's allowed to use it as a single tag....cause usually you use it to change a few words in a sentence for examlple like: Hi my name is <span class="style">Donald Duck</span> bla bla

Also try to change the #header_top.home css style into:

#header_top.home {
background-image:url(images/header_blue.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}

just for testing purposes

Let me know if something happened....

The span tag was a leftover in the WP theme that I modified. I went ahead and removed it. I made the change to #header_top.home and it didn't change anything.

I also realized that I was going to need to do some other CSS mods for IE6 only, so I decided to go with stevej's suggestion. The title graphic is now working, but I have a new problem relating to IE conditional comments. I'll post a new one for that, though.

Thanks for all the help everyone!
