    Complex HTML question, anyone got a sec to take a look?

    I got a page that's fucking with my head and could use some input from one of you html pros.

    I have a graphic image set as the backgroud of a table. Image shows fine on some pages but not on others. Can anyone suggest a fool proof code to make this work consistently?

    Thanks,
    Bill

          This page is (besides the graphics) a copy of my teen site movie page. The pink table in the middle should be a yeloow pic mathcing the top and bottom header of that table cluster.

          Also if you look at the very top graphic there are split (horizontal) in the header graphic. In DWMX the splits are not there and I cannot for the lif of figure out how to get rid of them.


          http://wildcollegeteens.com/members/video/ is the page.

              Browsers have always been really finicky about table backgrounds. Best to avoid if you want consistent behaviour. My recommendation is always layers, or try nesting.

                  And you have a whole extra blank row in the header, just look at the code (ctrl-~) and delete the extra TR tag with the empty TDs in it.

                          OK removed the extra (tr) and (td) tags, but no change in appearance.

                              I just reloaded and it looks like that got rid of the space there.

                              Also, one of your image paths is showing up as file:///C|Desktop/TD%20sites/wildcollegeteens.com/members/images/thumbs/JeanaV10004.jpg

                              Make sure you upload that one and change it to a relative path.

                                  Yeah that image tag is from the Teen site. I'm not worried about putting the thumbs in yet.

                                  The splits are still there on my screen unfortunatelt.

                                  Hey, do me a favor and edit your post and take the name out of that path for me please (between settings and desktop in the first tag).

                                      My bad, sorry I should have caught the name.

                                      Ahh you're right, I was in Firefox. What you need to do is create one large table with 3 rows (and border, cellpadding, etc. at 0 too) and nest each one of those tables in it.

                                          That's what I thought also but I also thought I tried that last night and it did not work. I'll try it again in a little bit. This is the time at which it is best for me to walk away from my computer before something gets broke!

                                          Thanks for your help and suggestions, I'll be back in a bit to follow up!

                                              HTML does tables very poorly in my opinion, fucking around a lot and using nesting is usually the only way to get the desired result

                                                  Yes, HTML was never meant for layout design. Tables are nothing more than a hack. But nesting them will definitely work... although they really don't need to be in different tables to start with.
