How do I display an image over a table cell that’s larger than the cell?
I’ve got a TABLE that’s actually being used for its intended purpose, to display a grid. The cells are fixed-size cells, with both the width and the height of each cell being constant and defined in CSS. I can put text and images into the cells easily enough, as long as they fit. But if I try to put an image that’s larger than the cell into a TD , it ends up stretching the cell, and either its entire column or its entire row (or both) depending on which dimension(s) are too big. I need the table to remain fixed-size, but I also need an image positioned at a specific cell, which is larger than the cell. How should I go about setting this effect up? To give a simple example:
Imagine the image is exactly as wide and twice as high as one cell. What do I need to do to make it cover two vertical cells perfectly?

You can use the max-width and max-height properties to 100% , so that the image doesn’t exceed the cell. Fiddle coming on the way! 🙂

Add Image Inside Table Cell in HTML
This article will introduce a method to add images inside the table cell in HTML.
Use the img Tag to Add Image Inside the td Element in HTML
We can use the img tag inside the td element, the table data, to add an image inside the table cell. A td tag defines each cell in the table.
Any data inside are the content of table cell. We can specify the image source in the img tag.
This will display the image named image.jpg inside a table cell.
For example, create a table using the table tag. Give it a border of 3 in the border attribute so that the border in the table can be visible.
Next, create three table rows using the tr tag. The first tr is for the table headers th , and the others for the table data td .
In the first tr table row, give the headings Name , Address and Image using the th tag. Then in the second and third row, specify the name, address, and image inside td .
For instance, write Jack Austin and France as the table data for the second tr .
Then, inside the td , create the img tag as shown above and insert a picture. Similarly, fill the data for the second row.
Specify the height and width for the image inside the img tag with the height and width attributes.
The example below shows the implementation of the above instruction to add the image inside the table cell. There are three rows in the table.
The first row contains the heading of each column, and the remaining rows contain the data.
We have added an image in the third column of the table using the img tag. We learned that the img tag could be written wherever we inserted the image.
We assume that the image is in the same folder/directory as the HTML file. Correct image path must be specified in the src of the img tag; else, the image will not be displayed.

HTML table background image
We can create attractive headers like modern web design sites using background images. We will use one simple image to create one header like this below. To create one image like this please visit our gradient tutorial in our graphics section.
This is our text over the header |
background='images/bg1.jpg'>
This is our text over the header
Adding Background image to table data cell
background='images/bg1.jpg'>This is our text over the header
In above script we have added background image directly. We can also use style sheet to display images inside table
Using Style
All tables of the page will follow this property and all will use the same image as background image.
By adding class to it we can define another style to some other tables.
We will add the above code to head section of the page and display two tables with this.
