Hi,
How can I have a background image in one of the cells of my table?
So that I can insert text and other objects over the background image.
Thanks a lot.

This will not work as the image will push the content down ... also, it's better to use lowercase tags for XHTML 1.0 strict validity ...
Let's leave all our *plum* where it is and go live in the jungle ...
