align background image to table cell

I have used the following code in several table cells to create buttons with a standard background image, and different text superimposed upon it:

<TD ALIGN="center" BACKGROUND="button.gif" BGALIGN="center" BGVALIGN="middle" VALIGN="middle">
<A HREF="pageX.htm">
button text
</A>
</TD>

This looks great in IE4, but in IE3 the background images are not aligned to the table cells. The BGALIGN and BGVALIGN attributes do not seem to work.

Is there any way to align a background image to the edge of a table cell in IE3?

Hi Christine,

Your are faced with what is commonly known as BROWSER-incompatibility-syndrome-version to version-as well-as-what the w3-have said its-got-to be....

No two Browsers read HTML the same way....the way the W3s have recomended that HTML be written.

Mr. Gates and his team want HTML to be their way and so does Mr. Andresson.....

Most web users back Mr. Andresson..

So design your site for Netscape.

By far its the superior browser.

And most folks upgarde...or are at least supposed to...So its your call.

Nice! :d

invotek please do not post in 6 year old threads.

Since I posted, I might as well include some useful information.

IE3 was released in 1996.

Sure it's good to be able to see the text in every browser but to have pixel perfect rendering in ancient browsers is misguided.

Those properties are either not part of any HTML specification or are deprecated in favor of CSS. http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/colors.html#q2
