Table Backgrounds In Netscape

Image repeats in nested table

[markd]

Hello all

I am working on a site where a large single cell table has an image background in it. By sizing the image to the table withd, there is no repeat in this cell.

However, I am then nesting a table within the one containing the background image. In the nested table is some text, thereby hoping to achieve an effect where the text looks as though it 'overlays' the image contained in the parent table.

Works fine in IE but, surprise surprise, in Netscape the background image is repeating not only in the large parent table but also in the nested table containing the text.

Any suggestions on resolving this please?

Thanks

I assume the table background is being set with HTML attributes, rather than CSS. If so, for the nested table, try adding the attribute background="null" to the table tag for the nested table.

Ted,

Not for the first time, and certainly not for the last, your advice has solved the problem.

Thanks Ted - one day I'll buy you a beer! (how many people have I said this to over the years :))
