Table help

[Irfo]

Hello,

I am creating an ASP driven site and i am trying to have the background of my
tables (result data display form the database) to have a background image that
automatically adjusts to the size of the table.

I have seen on other database driven sites where the sites have a much more
interesting looking results table that has been pulled from the database.
Therefore i am trying to do the same.

I thought that the only way to get away from the boring cell and border
colouring options was to create a bg image that sits behind the table. The only
problem as i have said above is that say the amount of data returned is bigger
the the image size of the table then the background picture gets repeated.

I know i have waffled and prob confused my self more with that explanation but
if anyone knows a way to have dynamic driven tables have a more interesting
look or to have the background image resize automatically then PLEASE let me
know.

Thanks a bunch to whoever reads and responds to this post.

Use CSS to keep the background image from repeating (and maybe even center
it) -

table { background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:center; }

Thanks for the response,

Will that stretch or adjust the image to mach the table size depending on the results given back from the database.

You might hate me for saying this but...

You're better off designing it using css. It's not hard to learn and will
benefit u in the long run with just this kind of problem.

The problem is that the bottom of your nav bar is linked to the bottom of
your content table cell. You'll either have to reconfigure the table cells
(which is a headache. trust me, i know), or design it using divs. here's a
good place to start..
