Dan Rumney #2 Re: Table background image
A definitive answer would require a link to the file that you validated,
but going from the error, I would guess that you've got some code along
the lines of:
....
<table background="..." ...>
etc
As it says in the error, the Table tag does not have the attribute
"background" in the doctype version that your are validating against.
Put another way, "background" is not a valid attribute for tables:

Murray *TMM* #3 Re: Table background image
The message is correct. XHTML1.0 Transitional doesn't have a background
attribute for the <table> tag. Just do it in CSS....
(shown inline)
<table style="background-image:url(whatever.gif)"

Dan Rumney #6 Re: Table background image
Again... post a URL... your code snippet cannot be validated without
extra work on our part... And "your way is not working" is too vague to
be helpful...
Your snippet, made parseable:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<div align="center">
<table width="200" border="0" background="../image/Sub2BG.jpg">
<tr>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</body>
</html>
.... doesn't validate due to the invalid use of "background" in the table
tag.
Code as suggested by Murray:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<div align="center">
<table width="200" border="0"
style="background-image:url(../image/Sub2BG.jpg)">
<tr>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</body>
</html>
....does validate
Does that help?

Murray *TMM* #9 Re: Table background image
Are you pasting HTML into a CSS page?
The CSS page should look like this -
table { background-image:url(../image/Sub8BG.jpg); }
That's all that should be there.
Then open your HTML page, and your table should look like this -
<table width="200" border="0">
Now use the CSS panel to link the page to the CSS file. When you do that,
you should see the background image appear (assuming the path is correct),
since the CSS rule will apply to ALL tables on the page.
However if this is not what you want, then you could do the other thing it
looks like you are trying to do in your post below. Just change your HTML
page's table tag from what I show above, to this -
<table width="200" border="0"
style="background-image:url(../image/Sub8BG.jpg);">
In other words, just use inline CSS to style that particular table. You
would not need to do anything further.
