Absolute positioning is always calculated from the closest 'positioned' ancestor element. So if you haven't specified a position attribute for any elements, absolute positioning will be calculated from the document window. To work around this, you can explicitly specify any element as position: relative, which is the default behaviour, but stating it explicitly will reset the absolute positioning starting point for any element within it. So you could apply position: relative to the table cells and then use absolute positioning on the images within. Of course, you don't necessarily have access to add a class or id to the table cells, so instead just put wrapper divs inside the cells that are position: relative then you should be good to go. This is only a last resort though. The background method is much more reliable in general, so I'd try to get that working first. -jiblet [small](Edited by [internallink=177]jiblet[/internallink] on 06-01-2005 16:16)[/small] Loading...
