The desire is to have a single image as the background to the table "wide".
This works great in FireFox, but in IE all of the TD also apply the same background *individually* to themselves, so the net result is mutliple copies of the same image.
How can I stop the style cascading to all the children TDs, without specifically applying "background-image: none;" to all TR's and TD's? or is that what I have to do in IE?
You should be using a doctype which triggers standards-compliance mode. If you're not sure, try this one:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
Then I wonder why my CSS (as given above) is applying the table bgimage to itself *AND* all cells?
If I apply a bgimage of 'none' to either the tbody, tr or td, it halts the cascade and correctly applies the image just to the table itself.
Could anything I'm doing cause this behavior?
