Re: LOWSRC tag in table background image

Yes, it is limited to normal IMG tags, but what I can't figure out is why
you don't just use a normal IMG tag? From the code you have put there, I
would say that there would be no difference between the two, plus NN3
doesn't support table backgrounds either!

If you want the image to be as wide as the browser, the do this.

<img src="images/blondjf2.jpg" width="100%">

Here is the latest:

using the image as a table background, or is this limited to a regular IMG
