table cell with background and text overlay

how do I get this to work in Netscape

[Lorel]

Hi,

I am trying to fix the footer of a page with a background with text overlaying it (it is a horizontal image of the sky which matches the logo at top of page).

I used CSS to call up the image which is written thusly:

.footer {
background-image: url(images/bodybottom.gif);
background-color: #ffffff;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

<td class="footer">

(I used no-repeat so the image won't repeat if this page is viewed at 1024x768 resolution.)

Then I wrote another table, within the above table, with 3 cells for the text which is in 3 different sections (counter on left , copyright info in center and webmaster data on right).

I have this working in IE 5 but Netscape 4.9 breaks the image up into 3 pieces (one image for each table cell).

Can someone tell me how to fix this so Netscape will render it correctly?

I'm really not sure..

but have you tried explicity setting the "inner" table background properties to none..

e.g.
td.footer table td {
background-image: none;
}

if that does work you may also need to reset the background color property too..

Hi Susy

>but have you tried explicity setting the "inner" table background properties to none..

I tried as you suggested but then there was no image at all on Netscape--still looks fine in IE 5.

thanks for trying to help.

YW..

I don't keep up with NN4.x anymore so perhaps someone else can add more?
