Hi,guys. How are ya? I am trying to add background images. But seems it doesn't work at all. Please help me.

Well, firstly I created gif file by PS. It is called "grey.gif" "sand.gif" and "sea.gif" which are situated in same folder with this HTML code. Then my HTML code is following:

<html>
<table border=1 background="/images/devimages/grey.gif" cellpadding=10>
<tr>
<th>Fish</th>
<th>Invertebrates</th>
</tr>

<tr background="/images/devimages/sand.gif">
<td>Guppy</td>
<td>Snail</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>Swordtail</td>
<td background="images/devimages/sky.gif">Crayfish</td>
</tr>
</table>

</html>

Actually this code came from Tutorial. I dnn't know about "devimages". What is it?

Any advices are highy apreciated. Thanks.

you paths are looking for images in the folloiwing places:

background="/images/devimages/grey.gif" www.yourdomain.com/images/devimages/grey.gif

background="/images/devimages/sand.gif" www.yourdomain.com/images/devimages/sand.gif

and

background="images/devimages/sky.gif"
depends on where your html file is at, this is calling sky.gif from 2 directories under the current.

If, as you say, your images are in the same directories as your html file, use this:

background="imagename.gif"

Jason

edit:

/ <--- that takes you to the root of your web space
../ <--- that backs you out one directory
<--- that (nothing) is in the same directory as the file calling it

It's a directory name.

If the images are in the same folder as the HTML page, then you just want

background="sand.gif"

and

background="sea.gif"

just as though you were doing a hyperlink to the image.
