Do IE & Navigator display table colours and images the same? where can i go to learn the differences?

How do i get a table background to display properly? i need the image to align to the left side of the table/cell. At the moment it aligns to the centre

No, they can be quite different. One of the main differences is with colours, in that they see the bgcolor atrribute in different ways in the main TABLE, TR and TD tags, and render them differently.

I don't know of anywhere that has tutorials on rendering tables in a cross-browser fashion. I learned it the hard way, by designing pages and testing them in both browsers.

If you're talking about the BACKGROUND attribute, there's no alignment attribute to it. BACKGROUND works the same as it does in your BODY tag, i.e. it starts at the top-left corner and tiles itself if it's smaller than the cell.

Sorry I can't be more help,
