Table cells are already transparent unless you set a background colour
for them, aren't they?

I just get white backgrounds not background image showing through!

Try:

table, tr, td { background: transparent; }

If that doesn't work, then post a URL.

Sorry for being so incredibly thick but how exactly would that look?

Tried -

<td colspan='6' background="background: transparent;" > </td>
<td colspan='6' "background: transparent;" > </td>
<td colspan='6' background="transparent;" > </td>

Still all I get is a white background row covering the page background
image!

thanks once again!

Either put the code that Toby supplied in your stylesheet or if you
insist on using inline styles use
<td colspan="6" style="background: transparent;"> </td>

And please do not top post.

As someone else said, table cells are, by their very nature, transparent.

And if these don't work try this little trick:

create an image 1 pixel by 1 pixel transparent gif format name it
spacer or empty or whatever you want and change the following code
accordingly.

<td background="empty.gif">Information</td>

If I can be of any further assistance; please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,
Christopher

<td background="empty.gif">Information</td>

the background attribute is only valid on the <body> element. use CSS.

URL please. You're now relying on people's guess-work to solve your
problem. If they manage to do it, it will be more luck than judgement.
