Background Images

I was wondering... I'm not able to use the CSS way of placing images as a background on tables, because it's to put on a website where I don't have access to the head tags... If that makes sense.

Anyhoo, on the main site here it says there was an old-fashioned way of doing it all by HTML. Would someone please be able to share with me? Very Happy

ok... I'm very new to html (yesterday) how do I get my images to display. I type the src= as the path name of the image i want. It displays if I open the document with windows, but over the net it won't. Do I need to upload the images to an ftp somewhere? The same thing happens for background images too. If I open the document it will display, but not over the net.

root? what folder is this? is it just a folder in my documents.... i did all the stuff in the tutorial but it still didn't make sense to me... my friend is having a go with a web page editor.

You will need to study a lot about HTML. The root usually means is where all your web pages / images are placed, for example, you might be placing them on a server in something like D:\domains\example.com\wwwroot\index.html & then when you type in http://www.example.com - that index.html will show up.

How Web Pages Work might be able to help explain in more detail. But remember, your local is not your server.

You can try their support to see what their architecture might be. Look thru your FTP site and see if you put all the images in the same root folder or did you create a folder called images?

How do you get your web page(s) and image(s) on your website? Where did you place you image(s) in relationship to the webpage you are working on?

i created my html files... and then uploaded them onto cjb.net.
Any image tags i put in there don't show up, so i took them out.
