I got a stupid problem, the thing is im using an image as a template and i want it to be stretchable (im using a inline style to repeat the image withing a td), but i dont know why it only works if the table border its set up to 1, why is it doing that....hmmm maybe i have a typo that im not seeing...

<html>
<head>
<title> </title>

</head>
<body TOPMARGIN="0" MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0" leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0">

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="1" width="100%" >
<tr>

<td style="background-image : URL(1.jpg); background-repeat : repeat;"></td>

<td width="760px"><img src="Odycopy.jpg" align="center"></td>
<td style="background-image : URL(1.jpg); background-repeat : repeat;"></td>

</tr>

Well I only see two things.

1: You have quotes around a lot of things that don't need quotes, which can be hazardous.
2: You have the width attribute set to 760px, and it should be set to 760.

So I'd rewrite the code like this:

<html>
<head>
<title> </title>

</head>
<body TOPMARGIN=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 leftmargin=0 rightmargin=0>

<table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 border=1 width="100%" >
<tr>

<td style="background-image : URL(1.jpg); background-repeat : repeat;"></td>

<td width=760><img src="Odycopy.jpg" align=center</td>
<td style="background-image : URL(1.jpg); background-repeat : repeat;"></td>

</tr>

</table>
