    Hey,


    I just created a site (http://www.guitarprotabs.org) which is using tables for the layout. I used the "background = ''" attribute to set the background behind the main content.

    This works in FF but doesn't show up at all in IE.

    Please could someone tell me how to solve this problem?


    Thanks,

    Hodge :)

    I'm not 100% sure what the exact problem is here, but simply use unique classes for each object with a background and your problem will be solved, i.e.:

    
tr.main {
	background: url('images/bodyBG.png') repeat-y;
}

TO==>

.bodybg{
	background: url('images/bodyBG.png') repeat-y;
}

AND

<tr background = "http://www.guitarprotabs.org/images/bodyBG.png" [B]class="bodybg"[/B]>
    Code (markup):

    While I was waiting I was playing around with CSS and used that instead of the <tr background=".... just like you suggested and it worked :)

    Thanks for your help :D
