That just illustrates one of the many errors. The background attribute is a proprietary attribute that is not included in any HTML recommendation. It's also presentational and offers nothing that cannot be solved with CSS. You could use the style attribute: style="background-image:images/bg.jpg;" But an external stylesheet is the recommended method as it more fully seperates the presentation from the structure and content which results in better markup. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/ http://GetFirefox.com/ Rediscover the Web http://GetThunderbird.com/ Reclaim your Inbox
