Hi Josh,
try this:
<html>
<head>
<title>Table Background Image</title>
<style>
<!--
.table1 {background-image: url(yourImage.jpg)}
//-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table class=table1>
<tr><td>text text text text text text</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Hope this helps.

---This Is The Code That I Used :

<head>
<title>Table Background Image</title>
<style>
<!--
.table1 {background-image: url(yourImage.jpg)}
//-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table class=table1>
<tr><td>text text text text text text</td></tr>
</table>
</body>

according to the code you posted you will have to have an image actually named yourImage.jpg and it must be in the same directory as the page calling the image.

My explanation.....
It works because you've given the table 'dimension' (width and height). You would have had it work by including content inside the table as well.

yup agreed if u dont have anything inside the tables they "sqrunch" up and stay that way unless they are filled.
