I am trying to do some reverse engineering of a theme for a bulletin board program SMF. The first thing I wanted to try doing was to replace the table borders with an image more reminiscent of the clients (I’m doing this pro bono) site; which looks like a chalk line. So I tried replacing some of the solid lines in a table (there’s also an HR, mentioning it in case there is something specific with them).

positionrelative;
   
background-color#000000;
   
border1px solid #ffffff; 

Then trying with the chalk line image

positionrelative;
   
background-color#000000;
   
border-imageurl(../images/chalk-border.jpg); 

But it doesn’t display: I have the filename and location right but it is not displaying.

I even tried it in the html (this example has it in both the table and cell - trying anything…)

<table bgcolor="#000000" width="95%" class="tborder" style="margin:auto; text-align:left; border-image: url(images/chalk-border.jpg)">
      <
tr class="b1">
         <
td style="border-image: url(images/chalk-border.jpg)" valign="middle" align="left" height="120px" width="710px" valign="middle"><img style="float: left; padding: 0 0 0 10px" src="images/logo.png" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table

but still no go. Do I need to tell it anything else?

Thanks very much for your help!
