Validating HTML 4.01 Transitional error... help.

[SirAndy]

I'm trying to give html tables a background, but it will not let me validate so , i am using css.. which works greate except firefox wont display the backgrounds.. im setting the background with this css code:

div.table1 { background-image: url('image.png'); }

and to get the background set im doing this in the HTML code:

<div class="table1"><table><tr><td>bla cell 1 row 1</td><td>bla cell 2 row 1</td></tr>
<tr><td>bla cell 1 row 2</td><td>bla cell 2 row 2</td></td></table></div>

 

which after getting all the css and html code fixed to show background images for the dif tables it validated correctly, and works in IE and Opera but not Firefox, altho if i just set the background in the the html for the table everything works, but it wont validate correctly...

 

anyone have any ideas?

try this...

 

<table bgcolor="transparent"</table> 

 

that might work...

Ok I have figured out the problem. but I havent figured out what to do about it.

table.1bar {
background: url('images/title07-2.png');
height: 76px;
}
table.2bar {
background: url('images/title07-sb.png');
height: 24px;
}
table.3bar {
background: url('images/title07-bar.png');
height: 25px;
}
td.nbar {
height: 100%;
}
table.fbar {
height: 55px;
}

 

so in the html i call up this with the class atribute, but firefox doesnt want to understand it or read it, any ideas what to do?

Do NOT start a class name with a number! It will not work in Mozilla/Firefox.
