@vickers_bitsJun 27.2003 — use css (css1...nn4+ ie4+)

background-image:url(image.gif);

[B]background-repeat:no-repeat;[/B]

@DaveSWJun 27.2003 — and

background-position:center;

and by the way you use that like this: (just in case you've not used css)

<td style="background-image: url("pic.jpg"); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position:center;">

@hastxJun 27.2003 — try single quotes:

url('images/test.gif')

and this may go without saying, but, make sure to close the</td> tag and make sure the cell actually has something in it.

[B]try single quotes[/B][/QUOTE] [font=georgia]Or no quotes at all. But with inline styles don't use double quotes if you are using double quotes with the HTML and don't use single quotes if you are using single quotes with the HTML.[/font][i]From the CSS2 Specification:[/i]

[b]The format of a URI value is 'url(' followed by optional whitespace followed by an optional single quote (') or double quote (") character followed by the URI itself, followed by an optional single quote (') or double quote (") character followed by optional whitespace followed by ')'. The two quote characters must be the same.[/b]
