Table background image help needed

[hellmo]

Hi, really need some help with this table code that I wanna use in the header. The image that I want to be shown, repeated, in the background of the table content wont show at all. Have tested a few codes but nothing works. Everything else shows up as it should, but the background image does not. It's a dark grey gradient image that I want to be as the background image, hxxp://2.ii.gl/Dv5Kbwgb0.jpg

Hi, thanks for helping! The background image is there 2.ii.gl/Dv5Kbwgb0.jpg it's a 1x130 image so it's hard to se (small). I tried to just use the repeat; ..but it doesn't show the background image within the table. Now what could be wrong?? Html codes is driving me nuts!

I think its Not Possible To Make a Table with a Background Picture

There are quite some errors in your code. Your background-url is just one of them. I've made a list of them, so you can avoid them in the future. I will edit this post in a minute or so with the right code (:

background-image: 2.ii.gl/Dv5Kbwgb0.jpg should be background-image: url(http://2.ii.gl/Dv5Kbwgb0.jpg)
I am pretty sure 'repeat-yes' isn't a proper value. Just change it to repeat.
you are missing a closing tag in your table-tag
you don't have a closing tag for your link (</a>)
with your font colours you are missing the #, and you need to close quite a few font-tags (</font>). It would probably be easier to put them into one font-tag anyway.
You also use quite some closing-tags for scripts (</script>), but you open them nowhere, as far as I can see. Just remove them.

Edit: you were also missing the closing tags of the main table. Anyway, here is your code. This should do it
