Background image in a cell

The background property of the td tag is not available in NetScape.
There may be a way to get around it by playing with layers & positioning, but I'm not sure how to do that.

My apologies for the bad info then...I see my reference book is copyrighted 1998.
Although this example doesn't work for me in NetScape. Starway, can you give some advice how to make this example work? Thanks!

<table width=50%>

<td background="sm_psTrack.jpg"> <td>
</tr>

This is very simple:
background image should not be shown if the cell is empty. You have to add &-n-b-s-p-; between <td></td> tags.
(remove all "-" and don't forget ";" at the end)
IE shows what you want but breaks the html rules.
good luck

Submitting my post took the "&-n-b-s-p;" out. But I do have that in the file.
And what about closing </td> tag?
What I see is two opening tags: <td> <td> without any closing one (I didn't pay attention to this before).
NN requires strict following the correct syntax.
If it's not the case, I remember about some problem in NN with very small background images.
