Ok ... I'm having too much trouble with this.

I've drawn an image (and can resize to any size - using pixel units in the
graphic's software). I've
tried to make it the same size as the table cell width and heighth to use it
as a background.

So far, I've had to make it double the pixel width and height to get close
to the cell size.

Can anyone help? I can't believe this is such a guessing game.
Thanks in advance. Diana

Sorry Stefan, I deleted the other post from my listing. It was so badly
written (I was in a bit of a "state") - and contained so many redundancies I
couldn't believe I wrote it.

Would you mind doing a copy/paste so that I can read it.

I didn't mean to duplicate the post for the sake of putting it up there
twice! I just wanted to simplify my request so that others could actually
understand it. Even I found it confusing when I re-read it later. My
apologies. Diana

If you are applying an image as a cell background
(set it to a fixed px size in your image editor, not a html viewing size in FP)
Make the cell size 2 px less than the height and width of the image size
- set table cellspacing and cellpadding to 0

Stefan,
The cell width (in FP2003) is reported as 128 px (width) by 30 px high, but
in the graphics software, I've had to draw the image to be 258 px by 58. I
do have a bit of border spacing ... 3 px all around, but this isn't enough
to require the drawing to be doubled when I draw it (using CorelDraw). This
doesn't make sense to me.

For hours, I kept making refinements. I've achieved an acceptable
compromise, but I'd sure like to know how to do it right. I checked and do
have cell padding and spacing set to 4 and 2 (respectively).

If your image size in PX is 258x58px the cell must be 256x54px for the full image to be in a cell background and your table
cellspacing=0 and cellpadding=0
- There is no way a 258x58 image will tile in a 128 px (width) by 30 px cell

If you are applying it as a table background image (not supported by all browsers), then your table must be 256x54px and your table
cellspacing=0, cellpadding=0, border=0. Plus all your cells should have a transparent .gif as a cell background (to prevent some
browsers from tiling the table background in all cells)

If you have published the page w/ the table provide a link

It's the nav bar down the left that I was working on. I kinda sorta got it
to work, but it's still not a perfect fit.

The pixel size of the table width and image width don't gel - not in my
mind.

I was indeed using the small image as a background for each cell (to create
my own look-alike buttons for the nav bar - in a single-column table).
Until I learn another way to do this, this is what I'm doing.

I can't find where FrontPage will let me use my own buttons, so I decided to
work-around it by added my own drawings as the background - to look like
buttons (probably not the best way, but I can't say that I'm crazy about all
the buttons that FrontPage comes with - can't make them wide enough for some
purposes). They look ok, but they also take up a lot of memory and add way
toooooo many files to the directory - rather hideous.

Thanks for your thoughts. Diana

Another option would be to just use you images as buttons (with the text already placed on each in
your graphics application), then just insert and stack the buttons into a table with the number of
rows needed.

Thomas,
I certainly considered doing that and have done it - but Frontpage doesn't
allow me to add text (on top of the image). When I export the text (with
the button) the text splotchy - not very clear. I consider that it might be
a problem with the anti-aliasining of the text. If I end up having to
resize the button at all, the text becomes even worse looking.

Any thoughts on that.

I'll submit a to the CorelDraw newsgroup ... it might be a minor tweak to
make the above work better - perhaps I should even convert the text to
curves first. I can't remember if I've done that before for this purpose.

Thanks. Diana.

Personally I found CorelDraw (I was using ver 6 at the time) not to be good choice for creating web
graphics. I currently use MS Image Composer (no longer available) for all of my graphic/image work
for the web.

If you need to resize your graphics / images you should always do this outside of FP in a graphics /
image application where you have more control over the quality.
