    Hi,
    I'm making a website and I have a box.
    I have strechted the graphic (using FrontPage) and it works fine in IE.
    When i look at it in FF it doesn't look good. The graphic hasn't been stretched and is going back to the default image. In the source code it says it has been streched, i dont get it.
    Try this page in FF, and IE.
    www.proxyguide.org
    It's the box at the very left.
    Thanks a lot, rep and maby $ for ppl that help.
    Jacob

    It is displaying the same size in IE and FF for me at 800x600.

    The FF image is broken with a white band. I read a tip here or somewhere that said if you move the tr close to the end of the line and not on a new line it solves that problem. This is the souce code in question.
    Change it to this

    You would need to do this for the bottom image also.

    There is a known bug in IE causing a gap under a table if it isn't all on one line.

    there are several alternatives..

    could be the cell padding/cell spacing (haven't looked at the code).

    I would make the image the background of the cell and drop your text over it, or just use your photo editing software to drop the text over the box so it's just one large image.

    I had a rough time getting my site to work with FF/IE/Opera. IE was the most difficult/stubborn.

    Yes. I fixed it. I just strechted the image. It now works in FF, and not IE, but I hate IE so I don't care. Thanks guys for your efforts

    You should be coding for IE, not firefox...90%+ of your users will be using IE.
