Is there a bug fix for IE <td> background image problem?

1 New Member
I've looked all over Google for a solution for the disappearing background image in IE. My problem code looks like this -

<td colspan="3" background="../images/dots.gif"></td>

It obviously displays fine in FF but is something I just have to wear? I've tried a solution in the style sheet but the problem is the image spans more than one TD.

Any input would be appreciated.

I'm not aware of this disappearing background problem. Not that I would be aware of it. But to give a background image to one cell, give it an id name and set the background in CSS.

#test{
background-image:url("../images/dots.gif")
}

<td colspan="3" id="test">&nbsp ;</td>

I've been busting my head trying to figure this out for quite some time. With IE6 and NS7, no problems. I can simply code the HTML <img height="100%"> and be done with it. But NS4 and NS6 (and probably a couple of other IE and NS versions I can't get to right now) don't want to play nice unless I hard code the image height. (Yes, I'm one of those who insists on still coding for NS4.)

I have having two problems with the <TD>, CSS, Firefox combination. I would greatly appreciate any information on fixing them. Firstly, none of the padding or margin values I apply to a <TD> have any visual effect. Everything is fine in IE. Secondly, I am trying to set the background-image of a particular <TD> to an image, and that's not working either. Applying it to the parent <TR> works, as does applying it to other <TD>s in the...

I have a horizontal navigation bar, which is a single row table containing the right images. It "stretches" itself across the screen using a penultimate td like this: <td width="100%" background="images/nav_bar/nb_spacer.gif">&nbsp;</td> which works in all major browsers that I've tried, but doesn't validate. No background attribute to the td tag, apparently. What is the correct way to do this? A stylesheet entry with a

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
