[thelist] IE Headaches (Table/Image layout) + CSS

Burhan,

You can tell your designer that the proper format for those background
shapes is .gif (incidentally)

As far as the misbehaving repeating background...

That background (on both sides) is being set using CSS shorthand in the <TD>
tag. The css is overly complex... the image fits in that cell like a
glove... so you don't need a background color or a width notation and if you
just put the background in the TD tag, you don't need repeat or alignment or
whatever that 50% is pointing to... (I don't know my shorthand as well as I
should).

So get rid of the style tag (since this is not how the rest of them are set
up) and just set the background for the <TD> to the image. The repeat is
done automagically.

Tested in IE6 Foxfire and Netscape7
