I have a page with a table nested inside another table and it looks fine in IE, but netscape has crossed over the images from the parent table into the child table, so now I have a background image in my child table that I can't get rid of. Anyone know how to fix that?

If you are using an image as a background in a table, keep in mind that IE and Netscape treat tables background totally different. IE for instance, will take a background image and use it once for the entire table. Netscape however will tile the image in each <TD>. If you post some of the table code, maybe I can help.

Essentially what I have is something like this:

...
<td valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;525&quot; background=&quot;/background.gif&quot;>
<table cellspacing=2 cellpadding=0 border=0 width=100%>
<tr>
<td>
<table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 border=0 width=100%>
<tr>
<td width=25>&nbsp;</td>
<td valign=&quot;top&quot; width=496>
<FONT class=head>Heading</font><br><br>
<table width=100% border=0 cellspacing=2pt cellpadding=0>
<tr>
<td width=50% valign=&quot;top&quot;>
Some Stuff
</td><td>
Some More Stuff and an embedded table.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
....

I can't figure out how to get the image to look nice at all in this thing. I really want to get the image not to show in the embedded table and maybe not all tiled wierd in the other tables.
