Hi Everyone,
I was under the impression that a page element that is contained within another page element of the same type will inherit any styles that are applied to the parent element.
E.g.: If I have a table nested within another table and the top level (page layout) table has a style applied to it then the nested table should also have the same style applied to it! Is this accurate?
If so why doesn't my html / css work when it looks like follows?
<table background="../pictures/backgrounds/background_two.jpg" class="box" width="98%">
<tr>
<table>
<tr align="center">
<td><span class="big_page_heading">Christmas Patterns</span></td>
</tr>
<tr align="center">
<td><img src=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"../pictures/miscellaneous/flower_banner.gif" alt="flower banner" height="71" width="470"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
.....
.....
The background picture for my table is not showing at all. Any advice and / or information will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
David
Not all styles are inherited. Consult

for which ones are and which ones are not.
Maybe while reading the above, you learn enough to get rid of the misused <table>s in your code.
