setting BG

hello i want to set the background of a table with a image but i want it only to appear once and be in the middle of the table anyone help please

You can use a style sheet. You would have to set it in a cell (td tag) and use an ID tag to set it to one only.
for example:
#tdUniqueName {background-image : url(images/blah.gif); }

then on the actual cell:

< td ID="tdUniqueName" ....... >

That should do it. Unless I forgot something.

One thing to note ****edit**** If you are nesting a lot of tables sometimes the background images dont show up.

The definitions for a BG in center which appears once would be:

#tdUniqueName {
background-image : url(images/blah.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
}
