Can someone explain how to set up my background image so that it will display without white space between tables?

The background image has been sliced into 3 parts.

Three ideas:

1. When you use nested tables and need a background image to show through in Netscape 4, you can place background="null" in the table tags of the nested tables.

2. Beware of an unfortunate habit that Netscape has. Extra spaces and line breaks in your HTML code shouldn't matter -- but sometimes they do. You may need to compact your HTML, so that each </tr> is immediately followed by the next <tr> with no line breaks or spaces, etc.

3. You may get better results by not giving each item on the left hand side its own table cell, but using <br> tags between the pieces instead, keeping them all in one cell. In general, the fewer tables, the better off you are.
