Ok, I lied. I figured the question out. Disregard that.

But this question is for real:

I can view table background images in Firefox/Mozilla, but not Internet Explorer...Like, wtf m8?!

Any ideas?

are you using CSS or HTML?


<td background="images/face.gif">Blah</td>


or


<td style="background:url('images/face.gif');">

HTML.

I am a noob at coding, so I just try to do it straight up :D

That's the site. Again, I am a noob at coding, so my stuffs pretty fragmented.

I see that now - that's strange, looked at the code and I couldn't see anything out of the ordinary.

I know, that's why I am like wtf?!

My friends all see it normally in Firefox, but Internet Explorer messes it up...not sure whats up with that.

Try taking the doc type out and see if it fixes it

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

Remove that and replace it with this

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

Well, the text is correct now, but the background images still won't show up.

lol, I meant the alignment ^_^

Well, I just opened it in Opera, and Opera, Firefox, and all the other Mozilla browsers register the code correctly...except for internet explorer. Curses. The only problem is those damn images won't show up.

two suggestions:

run it through a validator to see if it picks up anything.

*or*

try doing it another way - that's what's cool about HTML, there's more than one way to get things accomplished.
