TD height with backgroung image.

[gesf]

Hello again.

Code follows:

Code: Select all

<form name="f" method="post" action="/whatever">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td colspan="2" height="1" style="background: url(images/pointille.gif);">
     <img src="images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" />
   </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td valign="middle">Whatever</td>
    <td valign="middle">Whatever</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td colspan="2" height="1" style="background: url(images/pointille.gif);">
     <img src="images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" />
   </td>
  </tr>
</table>
</form>

This is an example code, but the part that makes the problem is there.
So, this code have different effects with IE and the other browsers. The IE is the problem.

Any idea on how to solve this?
I've tried many different things and nothing!
Thanks you!

First idea: using style="height:1px" next problem cellspacing
and the third thing: background-repeat:-x-repeat

Nop... not working!
The colspan="2" is causing the poblem.
Will make some other tests!

Hello gesf,

From where I can got the access to "pointille.gif" and "spacer.gif". I am very much eager to sort out your problem. I love to work in HTML as I am text editor based programmer.

gesf.. the colspan=2 should have anything to do with it... did you test
style="background: url(images/pointille.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x;"

?
i wrote x-repeat before and it was wrong

[gesf]

This is stupid, but... got the solution...

Code: Select all

<!-- This -->

<td colspan="2" height="1" style="background: url(images/pointille.gif);"><img src="images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td>

<!-- Instead of -->

<td colspan="2" height="1" style="background: url(images/pointille.gif);">
     <img src="images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" />
</td>

Damn IE !!

[Alexei Kubarev]

Hmmz, i wonder why i had a luck of never getting such problems.. hehehe

[gesf]

Yep, this would be the last thing i could think about 'cause... it's really stupid or maybe i'm too involved with Firefox now

[Alexei Kubarev]

noup: its IE-only...

I have almost forgotten that there is another browser called IE ;)

[gesf]

heheh good joke I'm actually not using IE that much... just because of my website
