background images for tables using imageready

Victor Gil · Jul 12, 2004

Hi all, I'm using imageready's sectors to make tables for the html output,
but it always do the following with images in tables:

<td>
<img src="whatever.jpg">
</td>

And i want to get this:
<td background="whatever.jpg">
</td>

Does anyone know how to do it? Now I edit the html code and do it myself but
i think it has to be a way to tell imageready that this picture is a
background and not an image

thanks !

the background attribute is invalid in anything except the <body>
element. use css

14.2 The background
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/colors.html

Does anyone know how to do it?

..td-background{background:#FFF url(image.png) no-repeat left center;}

i think it has to be a way to tell imageready that this picture is a
background and not an image

i don't use imageready. have you tried

Victor Gil · Jul 12, 2004

Yes I tried the other group but nobody answered.

The background attribute is valid in TD, not only in body, or I
misunderstood what you said?

this works perfectly to put a background picture

<td background="images/whatever.jpg">

this works perfectly

it works how you think it should because browsers have decided to
support it, they may decide to discontinue support, change the way its
supported or a new browser may come out not supporting it etc etc.

any number of things because the specs don't say what is supposed to
happen when its not in the <body> element and its deprecated for the
<body> element anyway. use css.

Now I understand, thanks very much

As dear Brucie said, use CSS

<td style="background:url(/images/mycellbackground.jpg) no-repeat top
left;"> blah </td>

Programs like PhotoShop (ImageReady) only have VERY basic HTML support,
which in really these days means "incorrect HTML". Slice and dice your
image how you want in IR, but generate the code by hand. You're visitors
will thank you, and ultimately it'll save you loads of time.

Thanks SpaceGirl, I only use Imageready and Photoshop to make parts of the
web, then I copy the html code and add PHP and others...

I use it in pages that have a complex layout and would take me more time
doing some parts by hand.

About css I always use it, but not for backgrounds in <td>. I'll change to
this way as it's much more better.

Thanks again

Your English looks just fine to me, but anyway, yes, you
understood it right this time.

You got the help, right?

As others suggested, use css. If you do lots of such slicing, you can write
a simple script that converts imageready's output to the desired form.
