Background Image Showing In Custom Banner

[skooby]

Slight problem with a custom banner where a tiny bit of the background color (that would show if there was no banner) is showing up to the left and right of the banner.

See www.nokturnalist.com for the banner.

Here is my header code:

<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td height="122" class="header"><table width="1024" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img border="0" src="cb/cb/logo.jpg" width="1024" height="125" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" class="logo"/></a></td>

</tr>
</table>
</tr>
<tr>



<td width="800" height="35" class="nv">

</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output

$ad_location[ad_header_end]

I tried the tutorial at this page: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=137415

That removed the bars. The problem is, it also removed the grey background behind my links (IE: Forum, Register, FAQ's), etc.

Was hoping someone had an idea.

Your HTML is wrong - just looking at the first few lines you have various table tags in the wrong order:

<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td height="122" class="header"><table width="1024" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img border="0" src="cb/cb/logo.jpg" width="1024" height="125" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" class="logo"/></a></td>

</tr>
</table>

You have two opening <tr>'s and only 1 closing </tr>, also maybe missing closing </td>'s... not sure what you were trying to do but the basic structure of a table is:

<table>
<tr>
<td> 
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Thanks Joe, at least you have led me in the right direction.
