The Background of Tables
Background color and images can be specified for tables, almost identical in method to specifying backgrounds for DIV sections. For testing, create a CSS class in the HEAD area of your page, like this:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.tabletest { background-image: url(image.jpg); }
-->
</style>
Now, when you create a table in your web page with class "tabletest", the table's background will be whatever you specified for that class.
Example:
<table class="tabletest">
<tr>
<td>
Table data cell content here.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Image tiling and positioning, and background color styles are specified using the same specifications language as the class for DIV sections.
