Hi Lists, I wondered if someone could help me fix a big boo-boo on one of my pages. My page is http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~pawashin/schools/cinder_hill_school/school-no-3_cinder-hill_1916.html I have a gif as a left-side vertical body graphic. I checked the gif (the former webmaster used it) and it's definitely a left-side only graphic. But something in my page is causing it to double into one on the left and one on the right. On my PC I only see the one going down the left side. But on the Web, a right-side second one is going down through the last row of kids' faces. Also I ran the page through http://validator.w3.org/ In the html I have <...table border="1" width="95%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" height="100%"> Validator complains and says: Line 70, Column 70: Attribute "HEIGHT" is not a valid attribute. Did you mean "height"? …="95%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" height="100%"> It marks the "error" between the t=" Validator goes on to say that this error is often because of using STRICT instead of TRASITIONAL DOC TYPE. HUH? I have Transitional Doc Type. I have the word height in lowercase. It seems right to me. What am I not seeing? Why is validator complaining about height ? And why does the page have the right side of the table covered with a gif that's supposed to be only on the left? Note: I set the left first-only cells of each row to be right-align, so the left-side gif wouldn't cover those faces. But the last cell of each row is set to left-align so it would fit better onscreen. I don't think those cell settings affected the body background... * Note: I'm not planning on trying any External CSS on this site for another 6 mos to a year. So I'm only interested in fixing the html coding on this page for now. Thank you for your keen eyes and assistance, Judy

Could folks re-check this page please? http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~pawashin/schools/cinder_hill_school/school-no-3_cinder-hill_1916.html The code I had was this: <...body background="../../graphics/washingtonback.gif"> Lorrie sent me this: <...body style="background: url('../../graphics/washingtonback.gif');background-repeat:no-repeat;"> I had a smaller monitor before so I never noticed the repeat on the right. Sigh... one more thing to check and re-do. Let me know if it looks okay now. (It looks ok here.) If so, I'll use Lorrie's suggestion on all the other ones too. One weird thing though, on my PC the new code pushes the left side of the background wayyyy down so it looks like it isn't on the PC version until the bottom. Why is that?
