Using a background image as a property for a whole table only works in IE 4+ and appears wrong and all over the shop in Netscape & Opera.

However the way to get around it is to embed a table w/in a table. Insert a table w/ 1 row and 1 column. Then selct a backgorund image for that CELL NOT OVERALL TABLE. Then embed the other table (w=100% h=100%) with the text or whatever in that table.

Thats the way its always worked for me.

If anyone knows anyway better let me and his dudeness know:)

change the case of the file name in the html from...

<td width ="81.25%" background="headeredit1.GIF" height="12.5%">&nbsp;</td>

to

<td width ="81.25%" background="headeredit1.gif" height="12.5%">&nbsp;</td>

LoLth

Actually, all of the images are in *.GIF format (as opposed to *.gif ) and the rest are working fine.

Make sure that all the picture names and extensions are correct..as in *exactly* match what is sitting on the server. It's not only the extension that is case sensitive.

ie. Header1 is not header1
.GIF is not .gif
and header 1 is definitely not header_1

for simplicity's sake I usually use as short a name as possible and decide on a naming protocol before I start..

Yeah, you just named this image using the lowercase .gif

is the one you are looking for... yeah?

I fail to understand WHY you used an image for that header title at all... but given that, why you made it a BACKGROUND image... (???!)

Have you looked at that page in a resolution higher than 800x600px? I reccommend that you do so straight away!

Oh, ... and a couple of align="top" parameters in your <td> tags might be a good idea too. Also, if I were you, I'd use the redundant space on the left (where the blue fade is) to put a menu on every page of the site, so that you can get FROM any page TO any page.

Take it!... as constructive criticism.

"Constructive" Critiscism noted!!

Yeah, one of my mates noted the prob with resolution a few days ago. Any ideas how to fix it?

Got my FTP workin again, so the site is at its most updated on http://staigor.f2g.net

Any more critiscism and ideas are welcome ( but it doesnt mean ill like it)

you should defo' change that main banner from a background to just a normal image in the page as ya can't see it in a lower res at all or if the window isn't maximised it would also keep the proper shape to your table.
Think someone already said that but its still a background.
