WOW -- you lost me with </tbody></table></td></tr>!!
This is the first I've ever heard of a <tbody> tag! -- and thanks for the reference site; I've bookmarked that one now....

My mistake, thinking "height" was not valid in a <td>. Now, knowing it is, I simply put a height of 900px on the first [navigation / bg] <td> and it worked....and validated.


Many thanks again ------

According to the page above (I use it as an example so you can also see what I did to look this up under)
"height" is a valid attribute for <td>.

I first tried to make the first table-cell (nav, bg pic) have height=100% but that didn't work, stayed the same.

So I added a second row like this:
Quote:
</TBODY></TABLE>
</TD>
</TR>
<tr><td style="BACKGROUND: url(IMG/missionbg.jpg) #dda0dd" height="400"></td></tr>
</TBODY></TABLE></BODY></HTML>
Then I made the other td's have a rowspan=2 thus:
Quote:
<TD vAlign=top rowspan="2" >
I am not used to working with tables like this, but it is the type of place where you learn to be creative after a while :o)
