Madcat, using the CSS {background-image:url(images/myimage.gif);} (for example) is a very simple method to place an image as a background for a div, table, paragraph, lists, etc.

I use an image as a background for a music/artist feedback survey throughout my site. I can edit the form text for specific applications, but the image remains the same... talk about getting mileage!

You can check my user profile for the site and use this page for an example: 12_pearls.htm

There are lots of ways to do this with CSS, just be certain to check results for NN4 if that browser is included in your targeted audience.

NN4 and table background images can be troublesome. On a strictly personal note... I do not style for NN4 but am beginning to use the @import rule to serve "unstyled" pages to older browsers. This allows me a larger CSS "toolbox."
