Bit o' HTML

[Charlie Wells]

This in theory should work...

Code: Select all

table {
background-image: url(stars.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x
}

This in theory should work.

But, in practice, of course, it doesn't.

I tried exactly that code when Mr Gribling first asked the question.

It works, after a fashion, spreading the image over multiple cells, in Internet Exploder (both 6 and 7), which I have to accept will account for about 70% of your hits.

However, it fails miserably in all the Netscape-based browsers, including Firefox, which is rapidly becoming the second most popular in terms of hits.

I've tried six or seven different bits of code here and can't come up with anything which is reliable in all browsers, I'm afraid.

the easiest way to do it if your using a table is to have a nested table with your actual devisions inside the table with the background. if that makes sence.
