I am a newbie when it comes to web design & have recently published my fist site. http://fp.ymv13.plus.com I'd like to spruce it up with tables that are filled with an image or background tile but can't work out how to do it. I'm using Frontpage 2002. I've opened a new page and added a table. As I only want the design inside the table I've right clicked table properties & expected to be able to check the use image box so that I could browse for a suitable image. However, this option is grayed out & I can only select solid colours. What am I doing wrong? Hope someone can help me. Yve < Message edited by ymv13 -- 11/30/2003 1:46:42 PM >

There should be a check box, whether on cell or full table. Once you check it, then you can browse to insert your pic. _____________________________ I can do anything I set my mind to; especially with the help of my friends.

I upgraded to FP2003 so I can't even run a setup to see what might be the cause. One of the experts will have to help you. I would like to know why too. _____________________________ I can do anything I set my mind to; especially with the help of my friends. Soul Gazer Sundries (in reply to ymv13)

Only problem is I know nothing about HTML, so the coding in the web page linksare like a foreign language. I only use Frontpage, because it came with my Office XP package & it's (more or less) easy to use without having to understand how it works behind the scenes. Is there any way I can resolve the problem by tweaking frontpage? Yve (in reply to skip)

The only problem is that if the image is not as big as the table it doesn't fill it. Also, would I be able to put another table on top so that I could get a border effect like you see on so many web sites. Sorry for so many questions. Yve (in reply to skip)

To get the 'use background picture' check box to work, you have to select tools>page options>compatibility & ensure that the browser selection is set to Microsoft only or custom as Netscape does not recognise the image background facilty. Found this after lots of searching in the help files. Thanks for all of the suggestions to resolve the problem. This is a great forum & I think i will be visiting often. Yve (in reply to ymv13)
