  How can I display a background image in a nested table? The following code does not show the background...What is wrong here?
  

  
  <table border=1>
  <tr>
  <td>
  <table border=0>
  <tr><td background="blablaba.gif">BlaBlaBla</td></tr>
  </table>
  </td>
  </tr>
  </table>

  try
  

  
  <table border=1>
  <tr>
  <td>
  <table border=0 background="blablaba.gif">
  <tr><td>BlaBlaBla</td></tr>
  </table>
  </td>
  </tr>
  </table>
  

  
  that way any new cells in the nested table will have the same background. also have a look at the height and width of the cells because the image will not force the table to expand to fit it. get back to me if this still isn't working.

  Mmmm... There's noting wrong with the code, you probably need to check your file extension, make sure it matches with your code. For example, if your pic ends in .GIF using .gif as a bg image won't do the trick.
