Correct Table or TD can't be found ... HEEEELP

**EinfachClicken** · 03-13-2009, 11:08 AM

Hi there. Recently we changed our header/logo and backgrounds around but for some reason we cannot make our header show up as a transparent image, even though it is. The problem doesn't have anything at all to do with the graphic, just the fact that we can't find the correct table or td which controls the background where the image is located. Here's a link to a screenshot from our old header:

To the right is the background for the whole vshare setup as controlled via css.
This particular image does *NOT* use transparency. The background is actually part of the image and we've adapted it to the existing background that we were using globally to the left and right of the page margins. Now then, here's our new header and background:

The css was changed accordingly to show the new background image to the left and right. The logo was changed and then made transparent. The background image (see code below) is the same as what you see to the right of the page margin. Theoretically we should now be able to view the page background through our transparent logo, but that is not the case. Instead, as you can see, our standard page layout background shows through our transparent header logo. That's what we can't find.
I've spent a lot of time in this forum and with our files, but that particular table or td, the one that controls only and strictly the background where the logo appears, is nowhere to be found. It's nuts because you'd think that it's the same table/td that contains the logo image itself ... but no, that's not the case. It's driving me up a wall ....

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" BORDER="0" BACKGROUND="http://www.meineclipshow.einfachclicken.de/templates/images/bgimage.gif" width="100%">
<tr><td align="left" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" BACKGROUND="http://www.meineclipshow.einfachclicken.de/templates/images/bgimage.gif">

That's the code in the header template and directly underneath this is where our image map (which is also our transparent logo), with the planet toward the right, begins. The whitish/yellow color that you see in the image above shouldn't even be there since the logo image is indeed transparent.

Any ideas on this?
I would certainly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Alright, just in case anyone's interested ....
Yes, I was able to correct this problem, and no, not by finding the right table or td either.
I have no idea why the table/td section with the logo didn't control the background color in order for me to have no color assigned at all ... which then would have/should have permitted the background outside of the page margins to show through our logo, but here's how I fixed it.

I made a screenshot of the video portal homepage in full screen mode.
Then I took that image and saved a chunk from the top in the exact same height of the table background image ... the one with the planet that should have been transparent. But I left that image in full screenshot width so that I'd be able to view the body background as well.
Then I took our actual body background image, a small gif file (apx. 140 X 140) and compared the left and right sides of the screenshot image to that. Finally I copied a specific matching section of our body background into our table background image.
My theory was that, if I did it correctly, then my new table/td background image would jive so well with the actual body background .... that nobody'd be able to tell the difference between the two.

Last step ... copying the old transparent table/td image into the new table/td background image ... TRANSPARENTLY.

Uploaded the new image, and voila, looks like seamless integration even though it's not.
Take a look for yourself: http://www.meineclipshow.einfachclicken.de/

The table with our logo (the logo is transparent too) resides in a table.
The appropriate table/td contains an image the exact size of that table/td, it's the image with the planet.
To the left of the planet is more of the same image, all the way to the left edge of our page/logo.
And that in turn conforms 100% to the existing body background that you see next to the left and right page margins. Awesome !!!

Realizing we had absorbed as much as possible of what he was talking about, rich dad said, "I want you boys to avoid that trap. That is really what I want to teach you. Not just to be rich, because being rich does not solve the problem."
"It doesn't?" I asked, surprised.
"No, it doesn't. Let me finish the other emotion, which is desire. Some call it greed, but I prefer desire. It is perfectly normal to desire something better, prettier, more fun or exciting. So people also work for money because of desire. They desire money for the joy they think it can buy. But the joy that money brings is often short lived, and they soon need more money for more joy, more pleasure, more comfort, more security. So they keep working, thinking money will soothe their souls that is troubled by fear and desire. But money cannot do that."
"Even rich people?" Mike asked."So is there an answer?" asked Mike.dog clothing,
"Yes," said rich dad. dog clothes wholesale "Learn to use your emotions to think, not think with your emotions. When you boys mastered your emotions, first by agreeing to work for free,dog apparel, I knew there was hope. When you again resisted your emotions when I tempted you with more money, pet clothes, you were again learning to think in spite of being emotionally charged. pet clothing, That's the first step."
"Why is that step so important" I asked.
"Rich people included," said rich dad. "In fact, the reason many rich people are rich is not because of desire but because of fear. They actually think that money can eliminate that fear of not having money, of being poor, so they amass tons of it only tofind out the fear gets worse. They now fear losing it. I have friends who keep working even though they have plenty. I know people who have millions who are more afraid now than when they were poor. They're terrified of losing all their money. The fears that drove them to get rich got worse. That weak and needy part of their soul is actually screaming louder. They don't want to lose the big houses, the cars, the high life that money has bought them. They worry about what their friends would say if they lost all their money. Many are emotionally desperate and neurotic, although they look rich and have more money."
