Hi Ned, thanks for the help. The problem is that the background image is partially inside the table. So if I give table a margin it will move the background image as well. I meanwhile found a solution by taking the background images completely out of the table, but it's not the best way, I find. I would have preferred using thead and tbody to hold the images, without having to add unnecessary DIVs around my tables. > Also, i think it would be in your best interests to validate your > work. There are heaps of issues reported when I validate it. Yep, will do so!
