    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 :

    <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>

    ---My Website Is http://geocities.com/thewrestlinghideout But There's No Table On It Cause I Couldn't Get The Code To Work.

    ---PS : My Website Is Under Construction Thats Why There's Nothing On It Except A Navigation System

    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.

    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.
    As it was, you just told the browser what to show as a background if there was anything in it.
    Cheers
