Background Image & different browsers

Question

I am struggling with a background image. If it looks good in
Firefox, it doesn't in Explorer and visa versa. here is my code.
Maybe I am not doing it right. I'm a brand newbie!! My first issue
was it repeated. the actual image height is 256, but when I put 256
in the height, it repeats, or has a big black space.
<tr>
<td height="150" colspan="7" style="background-image:
url(gfx/home-main-banner.jpg); background-repeat:
no-repeat;" class="contenthome"><p>You are uniquely

<p class="contenthomeview"><a href="shopping.php"

</p></td>
</tr>

Answer 1

The height attribute of the table tag is invalid HTML. It was
never part of
the HTML specification. That's what's causing the error
message you are
getting. Remove it from the table tag, e.g.,
<table width="760" border="0" cellpadding="0"
