i have used the technique from this website
http://mauzon.com/pseudoclasses-firs...child-for-ie6/

whereby ie6 will support first child and last child

i would like to display a background image for the 1st list item i have tried different combinations however the background image that i want is not being displayed for the 1st list item it is working if i want a background color however what i need is a background image so i guess the issue is with the syntax or the quotes

can anyone look at the code and let me know how to fix this

my css code

.topmenu li {background-image: expression(this.previousSibling==null?url(‘absolut e/path/to/topmenu_divider.jpg’):url(‘absolute/path/to/topmenu_divider1.jpg’));}


any help will be appreciated

thanks

Why bother for the minority of user that are stiil stuck with IE6?

does it degrade "gracefully" in IE6 without using the resource hogging expressions?

Do your site logs indicate a high percentage of IE6 users?

Is there some specific reason you HAVE to support IE6?

yes based on the nature of website it should be supported for ie as well

i have also used another method from this website
http://www.pathf.com/blogs/2008/04/hacking-the-fir/

please look at the example i have done at
http://sudhakargolakaram.co.in/files/list.html

only in ie6 the 1st list item is not showing a different background color rest of the browsers including ie7 are showing a different background color

i have followed the same steps as mentioned at
http://www.pathf.com/blogs/2008/04/hacking-the-fir/
but in ie6 i am not getting a different background color

please advice.

thanks
