[UPHPU] weird looping image in <td>

[Caleb Call]

Perfect, thanks guys.  Using a some css and setting background to not  
repeat did the trick.

This is actually not a web page or anything, this will be set inside a  
table (hence the use of a table) and this is merely the code (the  
reason for my comments on where to place the code).  My friend wanted  
a count down timer to an event using his graphics...so I provided that  
for him :-)

Thanks again for the quick help.
