Does anyone even design for Netscape anymore? I sure I hope so, because I sure don't know why Netscape does this...

My problem is that I use single-pixel transparent gifs in colored table cells to enhance a liquid layout. As the content fills the cell or the browser window is resized, the rows and columns stretch out in thin lines. Looks fine in IE, but Netscape resizes the width of columns as the browser is made larger and larger, whether or not I set column sizes in pixels or percentages: width="100%", width="1%", width="1", or any combination thereof doesn't seem to matter. What happens is then my single-pixel lines get stretched out and ugly... help!

For an example of what I'm building, go to:

By the way, I've already tried the trick of a table with cellpadding=1 and a background color for the same effect, but the color doesn't show up in Netscape.

Thanks in advance,

As for me, I don't understand what's your problem.
You resize the browser window and the table cells stretch accordingly. What wrong with it?

This effect is seen in NN4, IE5 and Opera - the page looks the same in all of them, and I think that everything is OK.

 
But don't you see the right border stretch out at larger window sizes? It starts as a single-pixel line and gets thicker...
