My page uses a table to present a navbar on the left hand side of the page and an image on the right-hand side. I also use a Fibblesnork background along the left-hand side of the page as a background for the navbar. Currently, I use a <BODY (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jun-99, to lugnet.publish)

(...) This should work in Navigator 4 and MSIE 4. However, I don't think table backgrounds are supported in previous versions. --Bram Bram Lambrecht / o o \ BramL@juno.com ---...---oooo-----(_...o---...--- WWW: (URL) (25 years ago, 15-Jun-99, to lugnet.publish)

Background is certainly correct. Sample: <table BORDER COLS=2 WIDTH="100%" > <tr> <td BACKGROUND="(URL) </td> <td></td> </tr> </table> I believe it only works in versions of Navigator 4, IE 4 and later. Don't know if it works in Opera or not. -- (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jun-99, to lugnet.publish)

Bram, David, and all: I'm still not able to see the background on my table. I am using Netscape 4.5 so the browser shouldn't be an issue. It may be a case of garbled code elsewhere on the page. I would appreciate it if one of you could take the time (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jun-99, to lugnet.publish)

Hmmm...well after putting the background statement in all my left hand side table cells (sheepish grin)...it does indeed work. Originally I had only put the <BACKGROUND=""> statement in an empty <TD> cell. Of course, the result doesn't seem as nice (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jun-99, to lugnet.publish)

Bram, This works too and it's a more elegant solution than putting the background in every <TD> The result is still a background strip that doesn't touch at the top and bottom of the screen, unfortunately. I can live with this though...thanks to (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jun-99, to lugnet.publish)

Try modifying your BODY tag in the frame in question from <BODY BACKGROUND="none" BGCOLOR="#000000" TEXT="#ffffff" LINK="#0000ff" VLINK="#800080" ALINK="#ff0000"> to <BODY BACKGROUND="none" BGCOLOR="#000000" TEXT="#ffffff" LINK="#0000ff" (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jun-99, to lugnet.publish)

Just out of curiousity... why are the limitations to the lego backgrounds so restrictive? Specifically- why do these two restrictions exist: 5. You may use only one of these images per HTML document. 6. You may not alter these binary image files in (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jun-99, to lugnet.publish)

Thanks Dave - this does indeed solve the problem. My sidebar is now right on the top, left margin. I still don't have it going all the way to the bottom of the screen - but I suppose that's because my table isn't large enough. Any idea an\bout how I (...)

I'll let Todd comment authoritatively, it's his stuff, but I do think that you raise a good point, perhaps GPL would be better suited here (it allows the sorts of mods you envision)? But his terms are easier to grok. GPL is a bit much for the (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jun-99, to lugnet.publish)

Add HEIGHT="100%" to your table tag. Just like WIDTH, you can set HEIGHT for a table and it will extend from the top of your page to the bottom. This will space each row out evenly though... as oppose to adding it all at the bottom. You may want to (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jun-99, to lugnet.publish)

I agree with your point. I should not have had an example like that... I should have just used bricks-white-40.jpg or foo.bar like Bram did. -- dave (25 years ago, 16-Jun-99, to lugnet.publish)
