CSS3 BACKGROUND IMAGES

Here is a very simple example showing the use of multiple background images in one div. Is this the end of nested elements with tons of CSS to create a layered effect? Hope so.

#multipleBG {

border: 5px solid #cccccc;
background:url(img1) top left no-repeat, url(img2) bottom left no-repeat, url(img3) bottom right no-repeat;
padding: 15px 25px;
height: inherit;
width: 590px;

}

Browser Support:
FireFox 3.0 and later, Google Chrome 1.0, IE 6 and later, Opera 9.6, Safari 3.2.1

Hi, excellent style, but when I try this :
#portal_tab_zone .tab {
background: url(“../img/tab_left.png”) top left no-repeat,url(“../img/tab_middle.png”)top center repeat-x,url(“../img/tab_right.png”)top right no-repeat;
}
I don’t see third image on all browsers ! Why?
Tks

Because the second image lies over the third. Simple change the order. This should work:
#portal_tab_zone .tab {
background: url(”../img/tab_left.png”) top left no-repeat,url(”../img/tab_right.png”)top right no-repeat,url(”../img/tab_middle.png”)top center repeat-x;
}
