td background image height will not expand

[Sim]

The original image is only 21pixels tall. I need it to be 50. It tiles instead of expands. Any ideas?

 

<td width="100%" background="images/boxtopbg.gif" height="50">

Nope. =0

Normally you cannot. Yet a possible trick is to put the image inside a DIV and let the div display it 2x as big. Something like:

Thanks a_bertrand. You always give answers when no one else seems to know or wants to respond. ;]

Forgive me, but open up an image editor and re-size the image?

Here is a trick I use for resizing, what it does is set the max width and height, As for the IMG tagging leave off the width and height part this css will work for it the expression part is for IE browsers the two top are for firefox and other browsers...This will help not to expand your tables as similar to the break-word function in css... This does need to go in a div whatever class your using for it to work properly or you can set it as the .img if your not using a div I have it set differently because I have different tables sizes so i use div.

max-width: 400px;

max-height: 300px;

width: expression(this.width > 400 ? "400px" : true);

height: expression(this.height > 350 ? "350px" : true);

 

If your trying to expand it you would use

mid-width:

mid-height:
