<snip>I would like to add a table backround.</snip>
I just created a file (test.htm) using the following HTML (hand-coded):
<!-- TEST.HTM -->
<HTML>
<BODY>
<TABLE WIDTH="100%" BACKGROUND="BACKGROUND.GIF">
<TR><TD WIDTH="50%">HEY, A TABLE WITH A BACKGROUND!</TD>
<TD WIDTH="50%">IT WORKS.</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>
In my installation of IE5 and Netscape 4.6, the table displays with the
specified background image file.
Make sure BACKGROUND.GIF (or .jpg, if you so choose) is in the same folder
as the test.htm file, or that you specify its subfolder, for example
"images/background.gif."
