Ok, I am not new to HTML, but I have always had the same question. Is it possible to fix the netscape table background problem of it restarting the picture in every new table cell? Netscape 6.0 has finally fixed this bug, but I was wonding if there was a fix. If you want to see what I mean just visit
You will see the background repeat in some of the oddest places.

Nope, not that I know of. I've always had that problem. Just use a solid color for your table backgrounds.

Is it possible to use browser specific Javascript to declare the background picture/color?

hello

yeah bont is right, you can do this for example for the Date function in javascript. the year is return by netscape from after 1900 so you got to add the rest of the dates back, but for ie it's different. So document.layers is for netscape. and appversion is more than 4.1 :)

if(document.layers)
if(parseFloat(navigator.appVersion) > 4.1)
var fixed_year = the_year + 1900;
else
var fixed_year = the_year;

What I would like to do is something like this:

if (IE)
stylesheet background 1;
else (if Netscape)
stylesheet background 2;

Does anyone think this possible?

var IE4 = (document.all);
var NS4 = (document.layers);

<script>
if(IE4)
document.write(&quot;<BODY BACKGROUNDCOLOR='ie.gif'>&quot;);
else
document.write(&quot;<BODY BACKGROUNDCOLOR='netscape.gif'>&quot;);
</script>
