I'm having some problems getting a banner image to display in IE. Everything shows up fine in Firefox, however.

Here's one of the pages that has the problem:

http://www.jeff-fischer.net/archives/tr ... eport1.htm

If you look in Firefox, you'll see the NYC skyline banner at the top; everything displays fine.

Look at the same page in IE, and no skyline.

The pages were built in Dreamweaver, and the image was inserted as a background image for the cell in a table.

I've yet to do significant research into this via Google, etc, but wanted to throw this out to see if anyone has some ideas. Thanks.

Put the background into its own TD cell (with the appropriate height and width specified). TR backgrounds are not supported in a lot of browsers. TABLE and TD backgrounds work relatively well across most browsers from the past 5 years.

even though i only know basic html, that would be my guess also, im also weirded out that its a background tag, and simply not a img tag

Ah, the joys of doing web design especially when some browsers (I won't name any names) do not adhere to the standards.

This is what I have coded on the page not working in IE right now:
http://www.jeff-fischer.net/archives/tr ... eport2.htm

<div align="center">
<table width="800" height="220" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
<tr background="/images/images_nyctrip/nycskyline.jpg">
<td height="59" colspan="3"><div align="center" class="style9">New York City Trip Report - June 13-14, 2002</div></td>
</tr>


This is what I have on the page that is working properly:
http://www.jeff-fischer.net/archives/tr ... nycreport/

<table width="800" height="192" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
<tr>
<td height="59" colspan="2" background="/images/images_nyctrip/nycskyline.jpg"><div align="center" class="style9 style7"><strong>New York City Trip Report - June 13-14, 2002</strong></div></td>
</tr>

Now, if I try to just replace the code in the first with the code in the second, I get something like this as a result:
http://www.jeff-fischer.net/archives/tr ... eport1.htm

So I'm going wrong somewhere. I'm not knowledgeable enough in HTML to figure this out on my own without some further research. Thus I look to you for the lazy man's way out. Thanks for the help so far.

Nevermind, got it. Thanks for the help, guys.

"colspan=3" did it.

Now, if everyone would just to convert to Firefox, I wouldn't have to worry about this crap.

I have my own freelance web design company...glad I could help.
