<td class="style1" align='center' height='35'>
  <div style='overflow: hidden; width: 230px;'>
    <a class='link' herf='' onclick='topic(<?=$key;?>)'>
      <span id='name<?=$key;?>'><?=$name;?></span>
    </a>
  </div>
</td>

This is my CSS script

.style1 {
  background-image: url('http://localhost/msite/images/12.PNG');
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-position: left center;
}

I want to stretch the background-image all over the <td> cell

.style1 {
  background: url(images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
  -webkit-background-size: cover;
  -moz-background-size: cover;
  -o-background-size: cover;
  background-size: cover;
}

Works in:

  • Safari 3+
  • Chrome Whatever+
  • IE 9+
  • Opera 10+ (Opera 9.5 supported background-size but not the keywords)
  • Firefox 3.6+ (Firefox 4 supports non-vendor prefixed version)

In addition you can try this for an IE solution

filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='.myBackground.jpg', sizingMethod='scale');
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='myBackground.jpg', sizingMethod='scale')";
zoom: 1;
