Please help me! I'm designing a website for someone on horseland and I want to put a table over top of a picture. I already have the picture on the page. It isn't the background. I want the table to be clear and appear over top of it. I've seen this done before but I'm not sure how to do it. Thanks!

Do you have an example of what you mean?

<table style="position: absolute; left: #px; top: #px; width: #px; height: #px" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0>
<tr><td valign="top">text here</td></tr></table>

just fill in # with numbers, to poisition it on top of the image. Leaving bgcolor="#" away will make the table transparent.

Love,
Mirna

why can't you just put the image as the table's background?
it's way... easier than calculating the positions which might come up different on someone's screen;


<table background="yourbackground">
from

the table is overlapping the image, and at the same time you won't have to worry about positioning it to look exact

if you would like to add a border,
just put
<table background="youbgimage" border=1>
if you wanna change color or anything just refer back to the http://www.lissaexplains.com/table.shtml

Thank you both for replying. I actually figured that out on my own MagicSun. :~) I just had to sit staring at the screen blankly for a while first! Hehehe... Problem solved and I finished the page!
