I try to have a big img on Z-index=-1 and a repeating, partially transparent img on Z-index=0.
I want the partially transparent gif (stripes) to fall over the big picture on Z=-1.
Here's the code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>

<body>

<div style="top:0;left:0; Z-index='-1'"><img src="big.jpg" width="700" height="525" border="0" alt=""></div>
<div style="top:0;left:0; Z-index='0'">
<table width=100%  height=100%>
<tr>
<td background="stripe.gif" width=100% height=100%>
</td>
</tr>
</table></div>
</body>
</html>
'

As you probably already guessed, it does not work Sad.
The stripe begins below the big img.
What I'm doing wrong?

Nope did not work Sad even after I deleted the extra "> Wink

But it made me think (again) and now it works perfect:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>

<body marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 leftmargin=0 topmargin=0>

<div style="top:0;left:0; Z-index:'-222'; position:absolute;"><img src="big.jpg" width="700" height="525" border="0" alt=""></div>


<div style="top:0px;left:0px; Z-index:'0'">
<table width=100% height=100%>
<tr>
<td background="stripe.gif" width=100% height=100%>



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


<div style="top:0px;left:0px; Z-index:'1'; position:absolute;">sejrg se ggsejrg se ggsejrg se ggsejrg se gg</div>
</body>
</html>
