Sorry, I have to reply to this... There were two problems in Steve's page: one was the header and the second was that the nested tables under the header were repeating the background image (with the notes and all). Steve did apply the fix to the nested tables (and it worked), but neither he nor I could come up with an easy solution for the header without changing the graphics. Finished... back to placing backgrounds in my nested tables. laura -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Vecera [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, April 28, 2001 9:14 PM To: Fusebox Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Netscape and table style problem with cold fusion code Steve, I assume that you are talking about the header of the page. Right? You may understand what laura is saying, but a. You're not doing it. b. You don't need to. Laura's suggestion is only going to fix the problem if you have nested tables - and you don't. There are two ways to fix this problem, and I have attached them below under your original code. One alternative is to put the animated gif in the first TD with a black background and maybe a spacer to move it to the right a bit. The next TD gets a the right-aigned text, a background graphic and a yellow background color. The second option is to forget about the background idea completely. Just take the existing header, chop some black off the left and some yellow off the right and position it in the table. TD1: black background and gif. TD2: Header Image. TD3: Text and yellow bg color. BTW - I would like to strangle this Laura person for so candidly and whimsically solving a problem that has TORTURED ME for a very, very long time. I have had designers avoiding table backgrounds for years. I have Laura to thank for lifting that bar. Matthew >>I tried it in several places.
