Validation fails on attribute - background

Page:
</td></tr><tr><td background="picts/bluebar.
or...if you are using the same background for every single td element, best bet would be to do it in your CSS style sheet
td {
background:url("picts/blue
}
but again, you will need to set your repeating if any
td {
background:url("picts/blue
}

I keep losing my bluebar with that code! I only have the blue bars at the top and bottom of the page. (only for two TD elements>
<tr><td background="picts/bluebar.
<IMG SRC="picts/spacer.gif" alt="spacer" HEIGHT="17" WIDTH="15" border="0"><BR>
</td></tr>
<tr><td background="picts/bluebar.
<IMG SRC="picts/spacer.gif" alt="spacer" HEIGHT="17" WIDTH="15" border="0"><BR>
</td></tr>
try this out for now:
<td style="background:url("pic
I will setup a page with an image like how you have it, and test. I'm pretty sure repeat-x is for a horizontal repeat, and repeat-y is for verticle

as soon as I put that code in - my bar disappears! I am serious.
can you tell me what you see on this page:http://www.portalfanatic.com/test8.asp
ASKER
2 black bars (top)
faded black bars right? (well fade to white)
regardless. here is the code for that table (in fact you can see it if you right click on the page and go to 'View Source')
<!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">

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

<body>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td style="background:url(Imag
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="background:url(Imag
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
the only other reason I can think of is that you have the path to the image wrong. Does the folder picts reside in the sites root folder? If so, try to use a / in front of it.

I had to fix the bottom bar also - you guys are entirely awesome -:)
I am going to give Kev an assist for 100 points for taking the time to test it on his site.
Thank you!

<td style="background:url("pic
just make sure to set the repeat if you need it
instead of:<td background="picts/bluebar.
