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.
