Hi all. I have made a table and put the below code to have a background image but the image i repeating itself in X and Y while I want it to repeat in Y only. Is there anything I can add to do that? Thanks

HTML: Select all

<html>
<body>
<table width="828" border="0" align="center" background="images/bg_shadow.jpg">
</table>
</html>
</body>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en-US" xml:lang="EN-US">

<head>
    <title>Some title</title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
    
    <style type="text/css">
    #addthis {
        background: #fff url(images/bg_shadow.jpg) repeat-y 0 0;
        width: 828px;
        height: 200px; /* may no be needed */
    </style>

I want you to learn how to use div's but if you want a quick answer to your first question, set a width to the table. The same width as the actual background images' width!
