Since Foo mentioned that the background doesn’t show up on the single post pages (i.e. the gradient/flat colour doesn’t show and you get patterned background on the whole page) I’ve been trying to find the problem. It seems that different combinations of operating systems and browsers are doing different things. Mac OS X Firefox and Camino see the page properly, as does Linux Firefox. Mac OS X Safari as well as Windows browsers (from reports) see the patterned background. If I delete an end div in my comments.php code it fixes the problem in all browsers (and using document search tool gives an even number of starts and ends), but causes the sidebar to go underneath the posts in the ones that were viewing properly before.
This sucks. My brain is fried. If anyone is good at PHP and wants to take a look at my code let me know.

i know it’s frustrating isn’t it. i had problems with compatibility of some of the site designs i was testing too. don’t think you can delete the end div because that closes the container hence, without it, it causes the vertical continuous code flow and the sidebar being on the bottom. the ironic thing is that it works fine in IE6 and not in firefox and firefox is the one that should be reading css properly. sorry to fry you brain! 😉
I eventually found the problem when I changed themes. The comment quicktags plugin doesn’t end a div properly. I’ve disabled it now…
