Css and Tables 1

[gwillr]

I need to use a background image in a table, so that i can insert other items in to the cells over the backgroud image. it works fine, but will not validate for me, since the 'background image' tag is not a valid xhtml attribute. any suggestions on how to get around this and acheive the same effect and still get validation?

Use CSS.

Either define a rule for your table and set the background in the rule.

or

Abandon the table and do the same thing with CSS.

or

Don't use XHTML. Try a doctype that allows the background attribute.

Thanks for the quick response. I have it all worked out now, but have another tiny 'vanity' issue, take a looke at my other post
