the following code:

<tr>
<td>
<table id="table7" style="BACKGROUND-POSITION-X: left; BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(leased.jpg); BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat" cellspacing="1" width="100%" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>

because you set it as a background, and by default, when you print from the web, you don't print background images (think about how much ink that would waste)...depending on the printer, i think you can select to print the background...that said, don't forget your semi-colon after the "no-repeat"

I think you already made it a picture. That's the problem. Use CSS and HTML to format and position text, not Photoshop.

also, realize that you have to put SOMETHING in the table to give it value...a & nbsp; in a <td> cell

I can't find text absolute postioning. They seem to have it for background only..

td {
position: absolute;
}

dont use tables.

3/16/2006 7:01:26 PM

yeah

divs

not tables

There's nothing wrong with tables but divs are a hella lot easier in this situation.

there's a lot wrong with tables.

well sad to say css ain't perfect either, i've encountered issues with css that only tables can fix (issues resolving around padding and vertical-align inconsistancies across browsers)

not true, you just have to know the css hacks. Or design the pages around the known inconsistencies

3/16/2006 9:31:19 PM

that's my biggest pet peeve is hacks to workaround a code flaw

i know tables aren't for formatting, but until browsers start standardizing how they render css, tables are the only 100% cross-browser code compliant resolve to do what i need to do without changing the design. in the case of my design or my hatred of tables, i'm going to stick to whatever makes my design work while remaining 100% code compliant, that means no proprietary hacks.

thats the beauty of hacks. As browsers become more compliant, the hacks go away naturally.

And if you want accessibility compliance, css+hacks is the only real option.
