Okay, so I finally got to make a table for the homepage I'm working on for my forum:
http://forumansion.forumotion.com/Homepage-test-h18.htm
Now, I want that the Table borders and everything to have a background, so it wouldn't just be plain, transparent lines roaming around the page. Any help?


Here's the entire HTML script I'm using:
Code: 
<table border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="5" width="100%">
<tr>
<th><div align=center><img src="http://i87.servimg.com/u/f87/13/67/77/07/fmtest10.png"></div><th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en" >

I'm hoping someone can help out!
 
Do you have access to either the stylesheet or <head> tag?

If so, great - it'll be very easy to implement. If not, not a problem - could use in-line CSS instead but it would make the code look very messy.

Let me know 🙂
 
There is no CSS stylesheet for HTML pages. Are you sure there isn't a simple HTML code to just place in the Table code? ...Something like this:
<table border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="5" width="100%" background img="http://image.png">

Thanks for the reply. 😀
Also, I added a bit more to the homepage. Here's what I got:

There is another question I want to ask. There's a highlight border around each linked image. Is there a way to remove that? Thanks. 😀
 
To remove the border around linked images, add border="0" inside after <img.

To add a background image to the whole table, add:
Code: 
style="background-image: url('http://link-to-image.png');">
to the table tag. Same can be added to a table row or table cell (<td>).

There is some other stuff you can do with the background as well such as change the way it repeats, its position, the background colour behind the image etc etc...
 
MhW, you're a life saver. Thanks so much!
