@pnajJan 10.2004 — First of all, the reference you give to your image seems to a bit more that a gif!!

But, how are you showing the bg ... in the body tag or css or what ... show us JUST the bit of code that relates to the bg image.

@Wasiu0607authorJan 10.2004 — I used a table.

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="800" background="images/bg.gif">

I made a sub-table in this table so that my contents could be more organized. The sub-table does not exceed 800 in width.

EDIT: do not do what is posted directly above! The background attribute is deprecated. To put a table background use <table style="background-image:

url("/images/someimage.gif");">

@Wasiu0607authorJan 10.2004 — But it's not my main Background. It's the background in the table. I don't know how that's gonna work if I put the background code in CSS.

@PeOfEoJan 10.2004 — yes it will, just put the css on another element that is not the <body> tag basically. It will work with any elelent

Do I put the <table style="background-image:

url("/images/someimage.gif");"> in my table code or in CSS? I tried putting it in my table code, but it didn't work.

@PeOfEoJan 12.2004 — style="background-image:

url("/images/someimage.gif");" in your <table> tag will work, you can say

<table id="mytable">'

and in your head put

<style type="text/css">

#mytable {

background-image: url("/images/someimage.gif");"

}

</style>

@PeOfEoJan 12.2004 — go to

http://www.w3schools.com/css/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_background-image

and delete all the code, then paste this in there
<i>
</i>&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;

&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;
#mytable
{
background-image:
url("/images/bgdesert.jpg")
}
&lt;/style&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;
&lt;table id="mytable"&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;hi&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

@Wasiu0607authorJan 14.2004 — That didn't work.. I have a question. Why does the background not appear on this page? On other pages, it appeared....It cant be the coding problem because I basically copied the whole code and then edited the content part..?
