Is it possible to have a table in HTML with a background image centered in
the table both vertically and horizontally?

This is what I have so far. It shows up fine and there is a pic in the
background, but it is tiled to fit the table. I want just the one image
centered if possible.

Thanks

<table id="Main" style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" bordercolor="#111111"
cellpadding="2" width="750" border="0" background="car.jpg" height="481">

yes but you shouldn't be using tables for layout

table{background:#FFF url(the-image.png) no-repeat center;}

You can also end up being totally ignored by those who actually have answers
to the questions you are asking.
