Actually, its not a big thing in asp. It's a big thing in html. Htmlcan automatically resize an image - just not a background image. Itwill attempt to tile a background image if the container is larger thanthe image.

One way around this is to use a background image that is larger thanany likely screen size you may encounter. For backgrounds that may needto expand in width, this usually means an image that is 2048 pixelswide. The downside of this is the background image wont shrink toscale. If the html container is less than the width of the backgroundimage, the image gets trimmed - not shrunk.

In order to have a background image that scales as it's container changes size, you need to use css.

So the work comes down to...
  1. Figure out some css that can scale a background image in an html container and create a new css class name for it.
  2. Test the css. First with a background for a <td> (tablecell). If that doesn't work, test some html using a <div> withinthe <td> with the new css class being assigned to the div.
  3. Change the asp code to write different html specifying the new css class but only for those table cells you want.

Using asp to write different html is the easy part. Using css toovercome the flaws in html handling of background images, and thentesting new html necessary to make it work, is the hard part.

z-index is the layer order. Basically, using css, you can put one divon top of another div. The bottom div can contain a picture thatresizes automatically as the page resizes.

So, in the table cell that has your background graphic, put a div withyour background graphic in it on the bottom, and a div with any text onthe top.

I see what you mean.
The only way I know how to do it would be by the css method used here
http://www.sitetechnique.com/background.htm
A "View source" will show how it's done.

It would entail putting a div with a lower z-index in the table cellwith a height + width of 100%. You'd probably also have to put a divwith a higher z-index on top of it for any text content.
