Yeah...

I was wondering somthing...

You know table based design for web pages?

How do you get it, so nested in a table column is a picture that repeats itself downward...like when you have a simple left to right gradient, you usually have a 1px high, 1024 wide picture with the gradient in it (well, thats how i do it) so then it repeats itself all the way down saving download time downloading a whole 1024x768 image of a left to right gradient...

How do you do this in tables without any prior knowledge of CSS?

Thanks

hint.... this is used (if i understand you) on the right and left sides of the Robouk TF Skin.... right click on the very edge of the main table and you should see "Save Background As".... save the image.... view source and locate the name of that image and you will then have a code sample.

Hope this helps

if u want a 10 by Y gradient make a 10x1 image with the gradient.

then
<td width="10" height="100%" background="source"></td>

That will go 100% of the table its nested in. If you want the whole page, make the height of the table 100% as well. Or you can just make the background of the table the image. But using TD's with backgrounds is a lot more useful, eg. Robouk's skin.

never use height in a table cell unless you want netscape and opera users to see big chunks of white space.

sometimes, it decides to distance itself, similar to a br clear=all on an image.

Er...i dont really think this is going in the right direction...

Lets put it another way...

How to you get a simple GIF, JPEG, or PNG, to repeat itself in a table?

it will tile automatically when put in as a background on a table tag, amplify's example works...assuming you have the necessary tags surrounding it.

Yeah...

Yeah... That worked fine...i actually read somthing for once...

i've come accross a new prob

I've got a table based design...

I wish to put 2 text boxes in it..

How do I arrange the slices (in fireworks MX) so that when I insert the single line text boxes (in dreamweaver MX) all the stuff isn't rearrnaged and all the stuff is in the wrong places?

i dno i just code it all free.. heh Why dont u read the help indexes and stuff in these programs?..

There arnt NE tho...

But...

There aren't any references to text boxes in a table based design full of images in either, Photoshop 6/7, Fireworks 4/MX, and Dreamweaver 4/MX manuals.

And yes, I do have all of those listed above
