Hi Roger!

I'm using these classes to use a background graphic in cells on my site:


TD.top1 {background-color: #F2F2B3;
                 background-image: URL(graphics/top1.gif) }

TD.left {background-color: #F2F2B3;
                 background-image: URL(graphics/legalpad_05.gif) }

TD.right        {background-color: #F2F2B3;
                 background-image: URL(graphics/legalpad_05a.gif) }

Seems to work fine in NS / IE on both Mac / Windows. I know part of this is 
repetitious, but I'm still trying to figure all this out and it fits the 
logic of my learning ability. As Tenley noted in a previous post, I 
*really* need to clean up the code and class statements for this site.
