hi anyone help with an image in a table

im trying to get an image into the bg of this table

i have a css file that has this bit

#generalBox .headtd { font-family:Verdana,Tahoma,Arial; font-size:10pt; font-weight:bold; color:#FFFFFF; background-color:#003399; }

is this an easy job?

 

Your opening table tag is not closed
<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" width="100%" border="0" >

You have something called #generalBox in your CSS but there's no such thing in the HTML that I can see. Browsers will ignore everything in that declaration unless they see something with an id of generalBox.

If that's going to be the id of the table, do this:
<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" width="100%" border="0" id="generalBox">

and then get rid of
<tr>
<td class="headtd" colspan="2">%companyName%</td>
</tr>
because you are using tbody, so why not do it properly and have thead too?
<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" width="100%" border="0" id="generalBox">
<thead>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">%companyName%</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
...etc...

then
#generalox thead td {
font: bold 10pt Verdana, Tahoma, Arial; (10pt is pretty tiny btw)
color:#fff;
background: #039 url(image.gif) left top no-repeat;
}

or whatever for placement of the image, you can do center center.

If company name is going to change, then you have a problem-- what if the company name is longer than the image width? You'll have to figure that one out.

 

replace <table > tag with:

<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" width="100%" border="0" background="your image">

on my site I just do this in html
