Layout table - gradient background

[Candace]

How do I create a gradient background, rather than a solid color background,
to a cell in my layout table?

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

You would have to create a image, and insert it as the cell background image.

Can I do this with a "shared border" as well?

Yes, as long as you have insert a table, and then apply a image as a cell background.

Is there a website where I can download such images for use in a gradient
color background? I don't have the software to create the image.

You may be able to use something like this

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
width="100%" height="100%">
<tr>
<td width="100%"
style="filterrogidXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient
(startColorStr='#87CEFA',endColorStr='#FFFFFF',gradientType='1')">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

I am fairly sure that this will only work with IE (what versions I don't
know) because of the use of filter.

 

[Murray]

Ew. That's the IEest only thing I have seen in months! 8)

GIMP is an image creation editing program, FREE and has many features of
fancier for $ programs.
I use Photoshop and Illustrator 'cause I am a graphic artist, but PS puts
out Photo Elements for non-pros.

 

[Trevor L.]

Yeah, thought it might be.

I got it from a person on this newsgroup or the scripting NG (can't recall
which).

I wonder if there are other nonIE ways to do the same thing

 

[Murray]

None that are well supported, as far as I know.
