Problems with the background tag and Netscape Navigator

I have the following snippet of code in my web pages...

<table border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot; height=&quot;489&quot;>
<td width=&quot;100%&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; height=&quot;685&quot; background=&quot;bkglobe.gif&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;>
<!--... other tables... -->

...I have a variety of other tables nested under this one, many with images in them.

The problem is that earlier versions of Netscape Navigator seem to have problems loading the nested pictures over the background image (it really distorts the page when loading up.)

can anyone confirm this and if so do you know a workaround? I really don't want to add a message asking people to download newer versions (of software) before they can enter the web site!

Regards, and thanks in advance

DrButterfingers,

tried it in ns 4.75 and this works:

<table width=&quot;75%&quot; border=&quot;1&quot;>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td background=&quot;picture.jpg&quot;> </td>
</tr>
</table>

ya gotta have the   in there at least....as far as any other difficulties, i'd need to know more about the &quot;nested images&quot;...and how they are nested...

hope it helps ;) ~ jsLove ;)
