Hi, try adding

background-color:white; to your style tag.

It worked for me in Netscape 4.7

Hi,

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but is this not something to do with the path to the background image?

I am sure that NN4 has a bug with this and the only way to overcome it is to include the full url to your bg image.

Code: 
  <STYLE type=&quot;text/css&quot;>
       BODY {
	background: url(&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.oregonseia.org/images/background_line.gif&quot;)[/URL] right top;
	background-repeat: repeat-x; }
    </STYLE>

Hope this helps Wullie

cosmoscorbin,

Have you solved this problem yet??????

I have another suggestion and a &quot;rule&quot;
The suggestion:
<BODY BGCOLOR=&quot;WHITE&quot;> don't use hex numbers

The rule:
NEVER USE HEX NUMBERS FOR COLORS THAT HAVE PRE-DEFINED WORDS ATTACHED TO THEM.

Why try to remember all those numbers. If you know you want it to be white then just type white. Easy as that. Now if it is some other color, and there isn't a word for it, then and only then should you use hex numbers.

I hope this helps!

Hi in regards to my last post.

That is my personal preference. Why try to remember #ff0000 when you can just type red, get my drift.

Anyway, you can do as you like, but that is my preference. And in regards to browsers that inly support hex numbers:
TOUGH, I'm not going to spend countless hours making a site that conforms to every browser in the world and every screen resolution.

ha, thats funny, i have the exact oposite preferance. i ALWAYS use the hex code. i have to real reson for this, because my css and javascript is standers compliant. i just prefer it. although, i don't simply remember most of the time (though i do for simple colours like red), my html editor (1stPage2000) has a built in hex code generator, workes well.
