Background Image Not Displayed
My Website uses a background image. It displays OK in Opera 11.52 and in other browsers, but not in Opera 11.60 or Opera 12.00.Did I read somewhere about support for a deprecated tag being removed?

BACKGROUND is still supported, but the validator finds 39 errors and I'm puzzled by 2 BODY opening tags, only one is closed. Page looks fine when I remove 2nd BODY tag:
Bottomline: The bug is in your code. Opera just changed its error handling routine. Don't know if such changes make it into the changelog. To illustrate this you can test with above linked testpage. Add your (simplified) first BODY tag to the code:
Opera 11.52 processes the first tag and ignores the second, Opera 11.60 ignores the first and processes the second, IMHO the better policy.
<BODY BACKGROUND="./AIM_Background.jpg" LINK="#0000FF" VLINK="#800080" TEXT="#000000" TOPMARGIN=0 LEFTMARGIN=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 bgproperties="fixed" bgcolor="#FFCC99" style="background-attachment: fixed; background-repeat: repeat;">

<html> <body background="http://www.aimwell.org/AIM_Randomf.jpg"> <body background="w3s.png"> <h1>Hello world!</h1> <p><a href="http://www.w3schools.com">Visit W3Schools.com!</a></p> <p>The background attribute was deprecated in HTML 4, and is not supported in HTML 4.01 Strict DTD or in XHTML 1.0 Strict DTD. Use CSS instead.</p> </body> </html>

Opera 11.6 is the first Opera version to use the HTML5 parsing rules, which is likely related to this change in behavior. But both the BODY elements have the background image, the property shows up in Dragonfly, and the image shows up in other browsers that also use the HTML5 parsing rules, so this could be considered a bug in Opera.

Opera 11.6x is the only one that behaves this way compared to many other browsers.
I'm having the same problem with a site I'm currently developing.
The issue for me is standard <IMG> tags not displaying.
The only thing I found was that I had optimized my images using the Mac tool ImageOptim.
Every other browser on all 3 platforms I tested worked fine with the optimized images.
I reverted back to the standard Photoshop "Save for Web" files and voila, works like a charm on Opera.
