When creating a site I normally jump from one editor to another. I use hot dog, hot metal, front page, notepad and composer.<br />
I have several books on html4 and still I can't seem to get my background in tables to work correctly in Netscape. It doesn't <br />
seem to accept the changes.<br />
I think I am missing something here and I must be overlooking it.<br />
The problem is that on one of my sites I use a graphic background for the table , but the cells should be colored.<br />
In explorer no problem but Netscape Please help I am going crazy over this problem. I have to get it right in Netscape <br />
as well. Can any one tell me where I went wrong?<br />
The site is <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://rinnan.net/spiritworks">http://rinnan.net/spiritworks</a><!-- m --><br />
But please remember this is just a moch up ,still have to get it right.<br />
thank you for any help<br />
louisa<!--content-->I took a quick look and don't see any problems with the code. One problem is that we do not know how it is supposed to look. It may look fine to "us" but to you it may not because you know how it is supposed to look.<br />
<br />
Try and target a specific area of the code or a specific section of the page that is giving you a problem and describe the problem in more detail.<br />
<br />
A general problem is that Netscape does not handle background images inside of individual data cells very well. If you have any empty cells, they may not display at all in Netscape but will in IE. <br />
<br />

IE is OK, NS is not.<br />
Like Kevin said about the bg im, here are 2 info sites:<br />
tables <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="NShttp://netscape.zdnet.com/framer/hud0022460/www.zdnet.com/devhead/filters/0,9429,2133211,00.html">NShttp://netscape.zdnet.com/framer/hud0 ... 11,00.html</a><!-- m --><br />
tables <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="NShttp://www.netmechanic.com/news/vol3/html_no6.htm">NShttp://www.netmechanic.com/news/vol3/html_no6.htm</a><!-- m --><!--content-->It does look normal in Explorer but if any one where to see it in Netscape..<br />
I have both on my computer for reasons like this to test out sites? that is why I know <br />
it is unreadable in Netscape.<br />
I had already tested it, and I know it is the table background problems with <br />
Netscape.<br />
<br />
"table background Attribute background of Tag table is not supported by Netscape <br />
Navigator 3.0 17 <br />
table border color Attribute border color of Tag table is not supported by Netscape <br />
Navigator 4.0, Netscape Navigator 3.0, WebTV<br />
td background Attribute background of Tag td is not supported by Netscape <br />
Navigator 3.0 "<br />
<br />
I have all the different links for testing on our site <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://rinnan.net">http://rinnan.net</a><!-- m --><br />
I normally try to help others but now it is my turn to ask for help.<br />
I just would have liked to find a way to make it work in both. <br />
<br />
I have seen somewhere a code you can place that will load a different page <br />
depending on the browser it detects .<br />
It detects which browser is used and automatically loads a certain page that was <br />
developed for that certain type of browser.<br />
I think the only thing I can do is simply make two versions of the site one for <br />
Netscape and one of Explorer.<br />
But of course I can't find the code anywhere now; I normally bookmark these <br />
things, but this one slipped away.<br />
Do any of you know what I am talking about?<br />
Any suggestions?<br />
Thank you <br />

I think this will give some problems; It is easy enough to Download <!--more--> it, which you will <br />

Wouldn't it be nice if they could just end the browser war for the benefit of the <br />
users? <br />

tried to fix it.......<br />
crashes NN4.5 all the time.......<br />
tried to use DIV an layers......<br />
crash.... crash......<br />
I Download <!--more-->ed NN6, looked good, no crashes.<br />
Back to NN4.5....<br />
Used div tag in this part: 1/2 day full day,<br />
that was OK.<br />
Still fighting with the form in the menu.<br />
Was not showing up in NN4.5 <br />
Moved this to the contentpart.<br />
Now it is OK.<br />

do something you have to get it right on all browsers I think.<br />
I have helped out many myself but this is the first time I received such great help <br />
