IE showing only 1 background image div inside div?

If I understand correctly, you want the main text and the two images near that, to have a fixed width, and the two gradients must fill out the rest. Than this might be helpfull: jsfiddle.net/zxRf3/5.

It looks as though the reason the left and right images are not displaying is because the nested table.bg sitting inside td. Left and td. Right does not have an actual height.

I know you have set the height to 100% but without actual content the nested table has no reason to expand.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
