Image and Tables

[Doug Mac]

Using 1280 X 1024 I have a table on a page set to 50%. This is set so that
if a user has a resolution set to a lower amount the table will still be
visable without having to use the horizonal scroll bar.

Is this the way to accomplish this or is there a better way??

Also if the above is OK then I have a cell with an image in it is there a
way that I can have text over the some part of the image. If I insert a layer
in the cell the layer dose not stay in the cell at different resolutions

TIA
Regards Doug

Maybe an expert can give better advice, but I will try.

AFAIK, the 50% will apply to whatever width is available, and is also a
minimum width. So 100% would also work (I think).

Re an image with text superimposed, you could make the image a background to
the cell.

Use a style
background : url('image.jpg')
The text which is in that cell will then appear over the top of the image.

Layers are not such a good idea as you could run into problems of
positioning it. With a table, you don't need to worry.

shadingYep the problem with making it the background image is it repeates
itself in the bank area.

Ha ha just found out how to fix it
Its under the cell properties/style/borders/shading/
Then set the repeat to no repeat
Why do they have to hide these things!!

Thanks

Glad it worked.

I have to admit that I forgot about adding no-repeat ;-))
