How do i insert background images?

[russell37uk]

Hello everyone,

Im asking for help on something i've done before (ages ago) but have forgotton how to do it.

I have created a table, where each 'box/cell' will link to a different category on my site, but i can't remember how to insert background images into each table cell (a different image in each cell).

So you can give me an example of what codes to use (an so i can see how you done it.

Assume the following
I'd want to link to eg <a href="http: //mysite. com/categoryA.html">My Category A</a>
The image link would be something like http:// myothersite.com/ image1.jpg

My current table code is like

<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>SHOW ME HOW I'D PUT THE CODE HERE PLEASE</td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><br /></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>


etc....

Many Thanks
Russell

You can try the following:

1) If its Cell - <TD BACKGROUND="http://www.webhosting.uk.com/forums/images/image.jpg" WIDTH="80" HEIGHT="95">
2) If its a Table - <TABLE BACKGROUND = "imagebackground1234.jpg">

Thank you Royston,

1) If its Cell - <TD BACKGROUND="http://www.webhosting.uk.com/forums/images/image.jpg" WIDTH="80" HEIGHT="95">

How do i stop the image from 'repeating' itself to fill up the space? eg I want the image shown once only.

Thanks
