How can I place a background behind the sidebar? For instance, on the left side of my page, I have various links, however, behind them I’d like to have a background. I hope that makes sense.
There’s lots of ways. you can have a background image with a DIV like this:
you can make a background image for a table. Like this:
You can make a big table for your site and just give a background to the cell with the buttons in it:
Of course you gotta make nicer, fuller code and check across all browsers. Last time I checked the NS4 series it had wacky cell background image handling.
Oh and if you just want solid color backgrounds, the code for tables is bgcolor=####### and for style tags it’s style=“background-color:#######”
That help?
That was outstanding, many thanks. I did know that at one time, but it’s been years since I’ve dealt with HTML. Anyways, many thanks.
Oh, one more question. Is there a way to push a table all the way to the left side of the page, so there’s no gap?
Yeah, if you’ve got the table set at width=100% then you can also do this to your body tag:
Add all that stuff to your existing body tag, btw. Don’t just add another body tag 
Thanks Zipper, you’ve been a huge help.
