Another Background Image Problem in Netscape

[egims]

In the below code I wish to use a background image (see top line). I am using CSS so that the image will not repeat (no tile).

Since the background image will not tile I have also used the bgcolor="#000000" so that below the image the color black will display.

This works perfectly in Explorer, and in Netscape UNTIL something is placed in a <td>. The moment something is placed in a <td> Netscape inserts the background color specified in the top line of the code into any <td> cell even though no background color for it is specified.

This has the effect of blocking the background image, which I want to avoid. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


<td valign=&quot;top&quot; background=&quot;images/nav.jpg&quot; bgcolor=&quot;000000&quot; width=&quot;160&quot; height=&quot;1&quot;>
<table border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;160&quot; height=&quot;1&quot;>
<tr>
<td align=&quot;left&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;160&quot; height=&quot;30&quot;>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=&quot;center&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;160&quot; height=&quot;90&quot;>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=&quot;left&quot; background=&quot;&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;160&quot; height=&quot;10&quot;>
Test</td>

<td align=&quot;center&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;160&quot; height=&quot;90&quot;>

<td valign=&quot;top&quot; background=&quot;images/nav.jpg&quot; bgcolor=&quot;000000&quot; width=&quot;160&quot; height=&quot;1&quot;>

instead of that try this:

<td valign=&quot;top&quot; style=&quot;background:URL(images/nav.jpg) #000000;&quot; width=&quot;160&quot; height=&quot;1&quot;>

i don't have NS on this computer in order to test it, but i'm 80% sure it will work.

TheocraticMind,

Thanks for the try. I gave it a shot but the same condition still occurs. Funny, Netscape puts the background color specified in the <td> containing the table into the <td>'s within the table that don't even call for a backgound color. But not until something is placed into the table such as text or graphics. Gosh, I have to say that as a professional web developer &quot;I hate Netscape&quot;.

i second that!
