    Table Problems

    Hi i've made a gif image, that i would like to have on the side of my page, making it a side border type thing. The problem is i dont' know how to put text on top the image using html. I know you must make a table but it dosn't seem to work. My text still arn't ontop of the image. If anyone can help that would be great.

    HTML Code:
    <html>
    <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="5" CELLPADDING="5">
    <td align="left"><img src="sidepanel.gif"></td>
    <TD ALIGN="left" WIDTH="160">Hello</td>
    <TD ALIGN="right" WIDTH="600">bob</td>
    
    </TABLE>
    
    
    </html>

    Do you mean above?If so then just place the text before the image:

    blah<img src="meh.gif">

    but if you mean actually on top of the image then the easiest way would be to use an image editor,or you could use css(I think) to have the page in layers,but it seems like a lot of hassle for what you're trying to do.

    You want to have the orange stripe thing as a background of the table cell?

    I'm not sure if I'm getting you right, but if thats it then just make a 1px high imae of the stripe and stick a background="the/path/to/the/stripe.gif" in the td

    Code:
    ...
    <td background="path/to/image.gif">blah</td>
    ...

    Okay,all you have to do is have a background image for your table...
    <table BORDER="whatever" CELLSPACING="whatever" CELLPADDING="whatever"
    background="Image.gif">

    or for just one cell:

    <td ALIGN="whatever" WIDTH="whatever"
    background="Image2.gif">Hello</td>

    Then if you wanted to have a bullet image in front of the link then simply place a transparent gif in front of the text.......
    Hope I've helped

    Does Netscape support single cell backgrounds?

    I pretty sure,but I wasn't able to check extensively due to the fact that Netscape sucks, and tends to crash very often.

    Microsofts IE isn't much better in my opinion. Mozilla rocks!

    Stop the browser war. Use whatever the hell you like.

    As for the initial question. Congrats if you're hand coding this mother, but an editor such as Dreamweaver would work wonders for you. (DW4 for EVA, MX can suck it) But the previous posts captured it pretty well.

    HOWEVER, please notice with the <TD> tag. Add this property
    <td VALIGN=TOP> That shoud fix your problem.
