Table background images in Netscape

I've got a series of nested tables, with an overall background image in the top table. The nested tables do not have any background so that the overall image can be seen.

This doesn't seem to work in Netscape???

Any ideas?
 
try putting the background image outside the table, like the <body> tag...this way the image will display no matter what... I have not failed; I merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...
 
Thanx,
Almost...
Problem Is that my background image has to sit in the middle of the browser window, my nested tables allow my content to always sit in the middle, but a bgimage would just tile itself all around the place???
 
how about trying to edit the image by adding more white spaces...using a photo editor such as PhotoShop, you can add empty white spaces around the image so that it still stays in the center but it's surrounded by white space

put the image in layer.
put your tables in another layer
position them as you please.
make sure you get the z index for the layer with the background image lower than the other layer, then it will show in the background.

or could add a style to the back able, with the image as the background, jsut make sure the table is the same size as the iamge.
