I'm new here and I have a problem.
I created a site:
<snip> and imported a table created in Fireworks. Now, in order for the table to stretch with larger browsers, I put background images in the cells so that there is no break in the graphic when people view the site on a bigger screen. (I don't know if this is the way to do it).
The site looks good on most browsers, but I believe there is a major compatibility problem with Netscape 3.
Weblint tells me
attribute 'BACKGROUND' for <td> is extended markup (use "-x <extenstion>" to allow this).
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks for your time and expertise.

I'd worry a bit more about learning html/xhtml and css rather than relying on importing. You can get some good tutorials on w3 schools [w3schools.com] among other places.
Oh, and of course, hang out here with us ;)

I use Dreamweaver to create my sites and I use CSS regularly. I just find Fireworks handy when making an interface with a sliced image. Saves loads of time (when it works correctly :-/

Nick offers some sage advice, spend some time learning XHTML and CSS for your presentation. You will find you can keep tables for tabular data only. Background images can be assigned to divs as well as most other elements; there are LOTS of options and far more flexibility than a restricting table layout.
Some of the graphic programs allow sliced images to be exported as CSS, it would take very little effort to modify the divs to display the sliced images as background-images. I don't remember if Fireworks has this option: you might want to ask about it in the Graphics, Design & Useage forum.
