html table question.. ANSWER IT DAMMIT!
 

ok, just a quick one. if you're building tables, and have a background set up in a main table, and put a nested table in, if you use no background or a transparent background for the nested table, will the image behind appear? if not, how you do that?

Put the image in the nested table too?

All tables are transparaent by default.

Anything specified color or background wise will show up thru nested tables as long as the nested table doesn't have a bgcolor or background image specified.

If the nested table does have these attributes specified, then the content will block the visibility from the first table, and so on.

that would eat a lot of unnecessary bandwidth. just looking for a good way to slice up a design and reassemble it manually, basically. it's for a gallery. but, the way the images are going in, that would suck :(

just seeing if there was an alternate method that might make things slightly easier..

cool, thanks. just wanted to make sure before i did a lot of work for nothing :)
