unfortunatly, I need IE too :( BTW, I do not think this solution would allow the image in the 1st cell to span over the other cells. that's why I was looking for a bagground-image attached to the tr node. > tr.close { > background: #dadada; > background-image: url(./images/icon_close.gif); > background-repeat: no-repeat; > } > tr.open { > background: #f0f0f0; > background-image: url(./images/icon_open.gif); > background-repeat: no-repeat; > } > (this is your same exact code as above) > > tr.close td + td, tr.open td + td { > background: transparent none; > } > (this will make all <td> that follow a <td> have no bg, which means > only the first should show a background) > > hopefully someone else knows a way to get ie to work as well. > good luck.
