Yea its possible.

Make sure there is no BACKGROUND="..." in the <TABLE ...> tag.

Or if you need to have on, set it to a transparent .GIF file.

Normally they're transparent by default if you dont set a background color in the table.

im using dreamweaver, and where it says "background" there is no option for Transparent...and transparent.GIF doesnt work. is there some kinda code, or way i can edit the code myself to make it transparent, or just a way in Dreamweaver?

look at the code for the table, there should be no attributes like: bgcolor="" in there.

Set the background to nothing .. it's a red slash or something.
