Let's talk about using a background image to frame a cell. The background attribute can be used in the <table> tag and <td> tag, but it does not work in a <tr>. We already used bgcolors to frame images; now we'll just add:background="URL"
to our table tag.
If your image is a gif with transparency, you will want to add a bgcolor to your cell.
Here is my table tag:
<table background="../bg/wood7.jpg"
cellpadding="10" cellspacing="?" border="?">
I can use either border="?" or cellspacing="?" to make the background image show up around my cell.
cellspacing="15" border="0"|
|
cellspacing="0" border="15"|
|
Table borders appear differently on PC from WebTV.
On WebTV, a background image in a table tag will appear in the border. On a PC, they will not.To see this difference, look at this PC screenshot
If you want your image tables to appear the same on both PC's and WebTV, I recommend using cellspacing instead of border. It won't have the nice 3D edges, but it be will consistent across different browsers.
Use a background image to frame an image. Post your table.
As always, questions and comments are welcome.
Happy tabling,
