Specify size of background image?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Is it possible to specify the size of a background image in a table cell?

I’ve been told you can’t, but I see so many images which seem to have text over them, and which are positioned and sized perfectly – how is it done?

I want to use background images in tables, but re-sizing small ‘spacer’ images to keep download time fast. Is there a way to do this?

@AdamGundryMay 12.2003 — You shouldn't really use tables for layout - use <div> tags instead.

To control the background in detail, use CSS background properties:
