Site messed up in NS 4.7

[RussellC]

Can anyone help me out and tell me why my site gets so messed up in Netscape 4.7? The baground that I have on the page shows up in all of the table and when I scroll the text blurs also. I can't post the URL in here can I?

1. Netscape 4 has trouble with table cell backgrounds.
2. Your main table has width=102%, which is not a valid number. That also could be confusing the browser (but it's more likely to be #1.)

Try changing your code so the background image is the TABLE background for the nested table, rather than the table cell.

If that doesn't fix it, you might also experiment with creating large enough background image so you don't need the no-repeat. Then you can just declare the table background image without the style tag. Version 4 browsers had pretty rough support for CSS.

WOW thanks for the input.

I changed to 102% I dunno how I messed that one up.

Right now your code has this general structure:

<table>
<tr>
<td style:background info>

<table><tr><td></td></tr></table>

</td>
</table

Change it to:

<table>
<tr>
<td>

<table style:background info><tr><td></td></tr></table>

</td>
</table

Well, I did your suggestion and the site works normally now but the background cannot be seen in NS 4.7. This isn't a huge issue but I would still like it to be seen. Anyways if you would like to take a look at the code, it is on /indextest.html of my site. Thanks for the help.
