I have a HTML problem

[Trax]

For the first time ever i don't understand HTML

<table width="765" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr width="765 heigh="131" background="../images/logo3.gif">
<td height="131" colspan="2" align="center" valign="top" scope="col"><br>
</td>
</tr>
....

I want logo3.gif to come up as the background
Offline (in Dreamweaver) it comes up but NOT when its online
There it is blank
WHY???
i have no idea

(And yes, the file logo3.gif is online in the images folder! )

just put the .gif in the same folder as the .html file and background="blahblah.gif"

I did all that
I wouldn't have started a thread if that would have been the problem

I would like to know the answer on this one too. For some reason Dreamweaver does that for me too sometimes. The HTML looks fine, the image is where its supposed to be, and still it doesn't show up. I restart it when that happend, and most of the times magicly the damn image is there when I do it again.

Hope that is of any help

</td>
</tr>

put the background image in the column <td> and i think it should work. are you using dreamweaver? there is a bug in dreamweaver that writes background images to the rows rather than the columns. i could be talking crap and have it the wrong way round i haven't checked it but i think that is correct.

oh yeah and the typos

width="765 heigh="131"

are not the reason. In the source it is correct:
width="765" height="131"

if the gif is in the same folder as the html then why do you have ../images/logo3.gif?

anyway - try dropping the dots - or if that does nto work put the full UPL path of the gif just to make sure its there and working.. if it does then work backwards

i did all that
i tried everything
the full url
putting the image from the images folder in the same folder the file is in

have you read my post, it is a bug in dreamweaver you will have to manually edit the html and put it in the column <td>
