For some reason, if I create any tables within a PHP page, applying a background colour or image background to the table simply will not work.

Is there alternative code to enable this? It is doing my head in!! All I want is a grey bastard background!!

Just simple table code with a PHP page mate!

code:
<table width="100%" height="5%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#F2F2F2">

            <tr>

              <td width="43%">&nbsp;</td>

              <td width="57%" valign="top" bgcolor="#F2F2F2">&nbsp;</td>

            </tr>

          </table>

hhmm, works ok in a HTML page, unless you are using a really strict document model.

Try changing bgcolor="#F2F2F2" for this:

style="background-color:F2F2F2"

wah-fucking-hey...that's actually been grinding on me for weeks as to why that wasn't working.

I've had to define it it in the <style> at the top instead of the actual tag. Maybe a PHP thing? Works fine in the normal way in an HTML file..

Don't think so?

I defined the style of the table at the top and it's fine

Don't know what you know about PHP but it has nothing to do with how the browser displays stuff.

All it does it insert content where your PHP script tells it to .....it then sends the PHP page to the browser - any problems with the display are down to the HTML code not the PHP - if you get a PHP error it makes itself very obvious....

add this to the top of the page

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
