This site is great!
I am learning alot from you guys. Ido have one question...on the wipedout page (page.html) the left and right side graphics grow and shrink according to how much text is in the main table cell.
How is this done? It's a cool trick I'd like to use on some of my own graphics.

Thanks!

Hi Goowy,

Glad you like the site!

Tables will expand if you fix the width and don't enter a height value.

The best bet to see what's going on is to isolate one of the tables and turn the borders on (border="1"). You'll see that the top and bottom are fixed width but that the sides have the ragged edge as a background image.

Background images tile, or repeat. This means that as the column height grows depending on the amount of text you have in it, you'll always get that ragged edge as the background tiles.

The images themselves are quite tall to avoid the obvious tiling you'd get with a smaller image.

Hope that helps,

Simon
