Topic: Holy head smacking table bg images batman... I suck at this (Page 1 of 1)

Anyone know a quick and dirty <table background="fooyoo.img" height="600"> css inline or external equivalent?

height

&

background

Are no longer valid attributes?

They work, but the w3c validator says they aint valid.

Bleah...

in your html:

<table class="daTable">

in your css file:

.daTable {

  background-image: url(fooyoo.img);

  background-repeat: no-repeat;

  background-position: top left;

  height: 600px;

}

Those attributes have been deprecated for quite some time now.

You should approach them just like you would any other element - as MF demonstrated.

It's worth checking the DTD of HTML4.01. I'm not sure if there's some strict nesting rules in HTML4.01 but when writing some XHTML it really helps to have the DTD nearby to make sure of the types of elements that can be nested to write some valid code.

hmmm, I thought I just posted a Thank you... But apparently it got lost in the click...

Thanks, I appreciate the help. My css pdf had the image background info but not the height thing. That's a handy little snippet... Thanks fracas.

I've mangled a few pages here and there... but I dunno if I would call them deprecated... thats kinda harsh... [snicker]


Thanks for the info, it is definitely appreciated.
