Background image in table - 2/1/2008 7:06:36   
Just wondering if any of you guys have experienced this problem before, and if so do you have any idea how to solve it?

On my website i have set a background image for one of the cells in a table. This works perfectly in firefox and the background image is displayed succesfully, however in internet explorer it always seems to display the background COLOUR and not the image. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Again any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Can you give us a link - it's difficult to tell otherwise.

In creating the background image for the table, it looks like when you are adding the background image into your page. Using the code of html
<table background="url"> <tr> <td> my text</td> </tr> </table> it will make the background image in the table. I put URL for generalization it implies that URL will the name of the picture and its file extension, example mypicture.jpg :). If you are going to put the picture into one folder you must include its folder name it will look like this

<table background="myfolder/pictue.jpg"> </table>
in providing a picture for a background you must also think the acceptable picture file extension. What are the acceptable file extension in images? My answer is many, the following are the acceptable file extension of images:
.jpeg, .gif, .jpeg, .png, basically this will be the acceptable image file extension.
so I recommend you to visit the W3schools.com for further study about HTML. Don't worry it is very easy to understand all the topics.

Yanski - the OP hasn't posted a link to his/her site yet...

If you're looking at the post above yours then that's not the person with the issue plus they're using a perfectly acceptable method of setting a background image - i.e within a style rule. In fact it's the preferred method these days, albeit in an external stylesheet rather than in an inline tag.
