Hi,

I have an issue viewing my site in IE(win) and FF(win) OFCOURSE…Looks perfect in FF(mac) and Safari(mac). So, I know some will complain about using tables but i just had to when I couldn’t get it working solely in CSS div’s. So I have a div called “middle-one-2column” where a table is in it. I have two cells and i want a bkg showing in the back. The background’s name is: JPG/bkg\_leftt\_2column.jpg.

As I said, it looks good in MAC environment! But when I view it in PC the bkg is not showing. the color #333333 is visible. The source code below is showing me laying the bkg I want as the table bkg. However, I have tried putting the bkg as the div bkg but it is not even showing up.

\<div class=“middle-copy” id=“middle-one-2column”\>  
\<table width=“770” height=“171” border=“0” cellpadding=“20 px” cellspacing=“0” background=“JPG/bkg\_leftt\_2column.jpg” bgcolor=“333333”\>  
\<tr\>  
\<td align=“left” valign=“top”\>\<img src=“PNG/careers\_icon.png” width=“206” height=“31” /\>\<br /\>  
\<br /\>

\</table\>  
\</div\>

THIS WOULD BE THE DIV CODE:

#middle-one-2column {  
width:100%;  
height:170px;  
clear: both;  
background-image:#333333 url(jpg/bkg\_leftt\_2column.jpg);  
}
