PLEASE? separate images or background?

Hello Fellow Developers

Please take the time to help me, I am designing this site it is 780 x780. I have an image created in photoshop that I can just make a backgrounds of a table. or should I cut the image up and then place the individual images in each cell?

Thanks in advance.

(780x780 isn't a standard monitor size.)

When you say you "have an image created in photoshop," is it simply a background, or is the mock-up of the whole webpage?

You should use only images as decorations/enhancements; relevant content should always be rendered as text.

Everything KDLA said, and adding in; try to look into CSS for styling / positioning instead of tables.

but if it is just a background image, put it this way;

assuming you use the same optimisation for each way, the single image is likely to load faster, however the multiple images will most likely give the illusion of loading faster on some browsers.

Okay! thank guys,

I ended up using the background image. Yeah I am trying to stray from tables but it is quite a difficult move.

Thanks again
