On <snip> i am building a new website. In its header file there's a table with three cells horizontal.

In the middle and right one there is a background image of the same hight. The middleone show's correct but the right one is still to high. If i try this on a new file it wont work at all.

Any suggestions how to solve this.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld. Yeah, personal links get chopped.

My recommendation is to strip the HTML and CSS down to the problem itself by commenting out extraneous markup unrelated to the problem. If the fix is not found during this process, post the test ready code that replicates the problem and we will look at the options.

Be sure to declare a DTD and validate the markup. Just that will force the fix of many problems.

The part of the css file are as follows:
TD.header {
background-image:url('images/bg_military_header.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 950;
FONT-SIZE: 0.8em;
MARGIN-BOTTOM: 10px;
}
TD.filler {
background-image:url('images/bg_filler.png');
background-repeat: repeat-x;
FONT-SIZE: 0.8em;
MARGIN-BOTTOM: 10px;
}

The file can be found on
<snip>
I left out the dots

Might as well be a link. It specifically identifies a resource that is going to get chopped again and that I cannot reference.

Refer to post #2. Not enough information.

Second try, the HTML code is like:

Currently not logged in ¦ Sitemap ¦ Contact ¦        </TD>
<TD class=filler align="right" valign="bottom"> </TD>
</TR>
<TR> <TD></TD><TD width="950" height="3" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> </TD><TD> </TD></TR>
</TBODY>
</TABLE>

If this is not enought then i am lost
