using a small gif to strech

Hi i have created a website design in photoshop and sliced it up and exported
it as a webpage. then i opended it up in dreamweaver and its looks good
everything appears to be in a table. now i have noticed that some desingers use
a small image and make it strch across the background or inside the cell. I
have an image that i have made 1 pixel in height and about 400 width. i want to
strech this accross my cell. how do i do it . I have tried changinf the src in
properties, but still it does not stretch

You need to use css to make the image repeat.... on the x (horizontally or y
(vertically) axis


..tdback {
background: url(pics/bckground.gif); /*the path to your image*/
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}

and then apply the class to your cell.

<td class="tdback">

if i understand you correctly, you want to have an image as a background to
either a page or an individual table cell. it's not done by stretching it ?
here are some links to how it's done using css to get you started:
