Two Quick Html Questions

[QuietMike]

1 http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif do all browsers support an image as the background of a table cell?
2.) how do you include a font in an html page so that everyone will see it the same?

[D0b3rman]

1) I believe all browsers do support a bg pic in a table why wouldnt they?

2) If its not a window default font than what you have to do is turn your text into a picture with photoshop or something. Of course I hope you only want to use this font for your header or something...

[QuietMike]

Oh and do all browsers except image maps?

[WiredGuy]

1) Yes
2) As dob3rman said, make it an image if you want universal acceptance. Otherwise, stick with arial, verdana, and helvetica

Followup question: Yes, all accept image maps since version 3.x of ie and version 2.x of netscape.

1.) Yes.
2.) Use default fonts like: Times New Roman, Arial, Verdana and so...

1 As far as I know.
2. As D0b3rman said. If the person don't have the font 'pretty flowers', it ain't displaying. If you want it to display it'll have to be part of an image.

For impact and noticability use an arial/sans serif font; for basic readability use a serifed/times new roman font. Peoples eyes find the little feet on the edges and endpoints of letters easier to read freely.

I think in Netscape if you give the table background an image AND a color, it will show the color and not the image. So be careful to give no color.

Well, in my experience, Netscape handles images in tables a little differently to IE, although I might be missing something. With IE, if you set the background in the TABLE tag, it will map the image properly in all the cells, so you can place actual pictures as the background, whereas with Netscape, it draws the image in each cell. I have seen full images, not cut up, work in Netscape, but I can't work out how. http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/wink.gif

Netscape does not handle tables that are nested the same as IE therefore always preview in both browser types to get an idea. If you use really complex table designs you have to really be sure you know how to make them or netscape will not work properly.
