Which browser are you using?

TABLE
{
background-image: url(somebigimage.jpg); width: 800px; height: 600px;
}

TD
{
background-image: none;
}

Works in Mozilla 1.7x, Opera 7.4 MSIE 4-6 NN7.x Does work in old NN4.x
but not much does...

Also works when applied to TR but not sure how kosher, seems to display
same as when applied to TABLE element and is not confined to TR

Take care,
