Background image is not displaying in all views

Question

I'm developing a site where in one particular page a background image displays in Live View, but not in IExplore. This image is used in other pages with no problem. In Browser Lab the page displays correctly in IE8, FF and Safari. Should I be concerned? The whole site isn't working in IE6 & 7 but that I'll have to address that later. Here's the css:
#mainImage{
    background: url(images/main_bkgrnd_blk.jpg);
    background-position: center top;
    background-repeat: repeat-y;
    width: 875px;
    height:788px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    position: relative;

When you say it does not display in IExplore where are you checking that, on your computer and which version of IE?
If you have checked the page in Browser Lab and it displays ok then I would not worry, but it slightly concerns me that it's not showing in your local version of IE?
For what's its worth I would'nt bother with IE6 (it's practically dead) but you must address the issues in  IE7.
