Can't use an <IMG> tag rather than making it the background?

Actually, you could use a CSS.
code:

BODY {
background: ("thingy.gif");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
}

no?

Don't you have the center image option?

If not, open it up in paintshop, copy the whole thing, make a new one in paintshop, make the background as big as your desktop then paste it over the center.

Stylesheets own j00.... but you have to be real careful with them if Netscape 4 compatability is on your list of requirements. ESPECIALLY when it comes to TD elements. There's NO END to the number of bugs Netscape 4 has with TD elements and CSS.

If you want to give it a try though, add this inside the HEAD element of the page:

code:
<style type="text/css">
TD.CENTEREDIMAGE {
background: url("thingy.gif");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
}
</style>

Then change the TD tag that you want to have the centered image to:

code:
<td class="centeredimage">

But instead of providing Netscape 4 support, I recommend giving NS4 users a message such as, "Get off your [virtual] ass and download a real browser!"

Stylesheets are the shiznit. Using CSS you can customize pretty much anything in the browser window. Add in a bit of javascript that alters your stylesheet settings and other elements of HTML and WHAMO! you've got a bitchin' page with the use of Dynamic HTML.

Using a little bit of ASP and alot of DHTML, at work, we recreated Visual Studio and Windows inside of IE
