Table Background Images (netscape problem)

please help me

[stavs]

Hi

I am pulling my hair out over this problem. Does anyone know how to place a background image into a table (with rows and columns). I can do it no problem so it can be seen in IE using CSS to define the image and then using a class tag into the table. Below is the code that I am using:

------------------------------

in the head:

thetable{ background-color: #FFFFFF; background-image: url(images/theimage.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat}

in the body:

<table width="750" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" class="thetable">

------------------------------

But in NS the image only shows in the first cell of the table.

I would be indebted to anyone that provide the solution.

Regards, Stavs

I just can't see it

Try doing it in a td class instead.

Here's another solution that seems to be very cross-browser compatible:

The idea is to nest tables — the higher level table holds the background image in one big cell, and the nested table, with the content in many cells, includes the code background="".

That last bit stops the Netscape 4.x quirks. I've been greatful to this tip ever since I found it.
