  Re: HTML Question
 
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)
 
  Re: HTML Question
 
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)

  Re: HTML Question

(...) the (...) You can put a HEIGHT value in the TABLE or TD tags, but that may not work for all browsers. Alternatively, you could fill the last cell with a transparent one-pixel gif. The set the VSPACE for that IMG very high. --Bram Bram (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jun-99, to lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: HTML Question
 
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)
