its because of your cellpadding value

you also have to cut off the rounded corner on the strip image or use the two cell method above

Hi again guys!

For some reason, it duplicates a corner I think and also the bottom part of the strip is kinda messed up...

OK, well the site idea is cool, but its a fairly simple style, not really adventurous but it works, just a query, why the green? You have done well on the content, its obviously jammed with info which is great. Where do you promote it? Well done, top effort my son, a worth 8/10 in my books.

I actually missed a few bits in the code I gave you above - sorry (missed the ';' and '}') I have fixed the code above.

<style type="text/css">
.tdbg {background-image: url("image/strip.gif");}
</style>

'Change this code you added to suit if needed but leave 'url' as url and don't replace it with your URL

Right. Well when I was trying to add the code, 2nd one, that Busy gave me. The strip wouldn't appear as the background.

I have put the CSS in the URL but don't know whether he wanted me to use CSS...

Cool! I am glad you guys like it! I feel that I have gained so much knowledge compared to my previous attempt. I am now trying hard to find the time to work the top example into my code.

I am not fond of green, especially, bright green, in web sites, but this one that pulls it off nicely

Good job

Can do it several ways, easiest is two cells like so

<style type="text/css">
.tdbg {background-image: url("strip.gif");}
</style>

<table cellpadding="?" cellspacing="?" width="??" border="0"><tr>
   <td class="tdbg"><img src="corner.gif" width="?" height="?" alt=""> txt title date</td>
</tr><tr>
   <td> content, can use a div to align text off the borders</td>
</tr></table>

'the questionmarks above are to be changed to suit, cellspacing and padding could be 0 but depends how you want to lay it out. You can use padding and spacing to make the border but the CSS method actually works better than the HTML method in NS4.7. If you want the CSS method just put a around the table with border solid colour 1 or 2

Another way, which is better but does have some issues in some browsers is like this:

add above style here

<table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="?" width="??" border="0"><tr>
   <td width="?" height="?"><img src="corner.gif" width="?" height="?" alt=""></td>
   <td class="tdbg" width="100%"><text title date</td>
</tr><tr>
   <td colspan="2">content, can use a div to align text off the borders</td>
</tr></table>

'This is the perfered method but the second cell has issues in certain browsers and may be bigger or smaller so best way around this is to size the first td cell same as the image and use width="100%" in the cell next to it.

Hope this helps

Well with my current code, still not really corrected, I would place the TD where the current top left is right?

Now I don't know what to do with the strip, nor the border. Can't the border be recreated with HTML?
