Default Background Image repeating for table cells - 03-29-2009 , 12:45 PM






I am trying to put different images as the background to all the cells in a
table, so I can put text over the top of them, but I cant have an image without
it repeating. Ive tried going into the code and adding background-image:
"no-repeat" but that hasn't worked. I know nothing of CSS and it seems really
confusing - so if this is the answer please give me CSS for dummies
instructions. Layers drive me bonkers as no 2 browsers display them in the same
place.

URL is: http://www.visionsportsmedia.com/BillyTestSite/test

At the moment only cell one is a background image, the rest are images
inserted normally.

Hope you can help.

Thanks.

Your question reflects the confusing mess your life will be if you persist
with web authoring without taking the time to learn some HTML and CSS.

You have -

<th height="351" colspan="6" "scope="col">

Note the extra doublequote just before 'scope'.

Also note that your preloads (look at the body tag) as well as your image
swaps (look elsewhere - everywhere you see 'file:///') are all broken -
pointing to files on your hard drive. Finally, you might want to just think
about making a page where there is no readable content (everything here is
in images). It will get a zero search engine ranking....

Thanks,

The files being broken is nothing - I am not putting the site up on this
server, so will route everything correctly.
I am trying to do text as text rather than image to get better search
rankings, that's why i am asking about how to resolve the background image
issue.

Are you saying I should put an extra " in around the background-image code, or
are you saying there is an extra " there by mistake?

I am saying there is an improper " character right before the 'scope'
attribute. Look at the code. Count the " characters. You cannot have an
odd number of them.
