Forgot to answer something in my last message...

      But is there a way to do this when there's a more complex table with one
      large text area down right that spans several slices both above and left?




Sort of - it's better to avoid the span in that case, and instead, nest another table into that cell with the slices in that new image. It's just more consistent that way in the browsers. The only problem is with the nested table height - if you need it to continue the full height as the content beside it, setting the nested table height to 100% doesn't work in Netscape 6+ browsers (Mozilla, FireFox, etc.) since the table height attribute is deprecated. So, you'd have to still use a background image in that same cell that the table is nested into and have that be what continues down the page. Hope that made sense :-/
