for some odd reason (i've tried css, double-checking my html, etc.), there's a blank area where my content will eventually go. it's a bit irking actually, as this is my only set back at this point. here's a screenie:

Screenie

for my css code, i have this:
.time {
    
color#000000;
    
font-familyTahoma,Verdana,Sans-serif;
    
font-size10px;
    
font-weightnormal;
    
font-decorationnone;
}
.
dtable {
    
width760px;
    
height100%;
}
.
contenttable {
    
background-image"images/dt_18.gif";
    
height100%;
}


i figured by specifying that i want the content table to carry the background file not only in the css but also in the html, i can't lose. but it doesn't work.

lastly, here's my theme.html... warning: it's a bit long.

.contenttable {
background-image: "images/dt_18.gif";
height: 100%;

try this:


.contenttable {
background-image: url("images/dt_18.gif");
height: 100%;

lol, that certainly was a little embarrassing. thanks for the css fix, but sadly, that didn't help with the missing background.

i can tell you this though: when i type any random text, it closes the gap by that much. odd. i used to run into this back in my early early days of web development, but with the advancement of css and seamless tables, i didn't have that struggle anymore.

i've thrown up a quick sampler so you can all see what i'm seeing live.

there's an off-color square right in the middle of my content area, that's actually the background color showing through but there's no reason for it because i have the cell background image set, so i guess i'm not seeing why it's missing that exact area.

unlike your other code you have not added <IMG SRC="images/dt_18.gif" WIDTH=580 HEIGHT=100% ALT="">

why this should matter i am not sure but you could add this to the cell in question.

perhaps the background itself has shifted down? any way to remedy that?
