tables, rows and backgrounds (background image repeating every cell)

Marianne · Oct 16, 2004

Hi, I have a slight problem, I have a background image that should span my
entire page in the fiorst row of my table
..
<table width="100%" background="../vormgeving/forumbalk.gif">
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>

Works great but would something like this be possible wihtout the background
image repeating every cell ?

<table width="100%">
<tr background="../vormgeving/forumbalk.gif">
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>

Cause that would make it more easy to coninue my table without the
background.

I'm not quite sure I got the question, but if you need a background
image that is not repeated, you can use:

<tr style="background:url(../vormgeving/forumbalk.gif) no-repeat">

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

<tr style="background:url(../vormgeving/forumbalk.gif) no-repeat">

Thsi stil repeats the background image every cell. Lets say the background
image is a gif containing the words "does this fit". This will appear like
cell1 "does thi"
cell2 "does thi" etc

what I need is
cell1 "does thi"
cell2 "s fitt"

<tr>
<div style="background">
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</div>

This is great stuff. Im allready using more and more stylsheets but it's
hard to completely rewrite my old pages and still have enoug time to finish
my education

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

Hmm .. im blaming this one on macromedia
