welcome inside a problem
I am having problems with nested tables
this is table 0
the specifications for this table:
table width="679" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="50" background="Image100.jpg
let's now step inside a second, nested table
nested table 1a
table border="1"
hi again ! this is a simple, hopefuly transparant table
just the border=1 is specified |
nested table 1b with a random bgcolor
table border="1" bgcolor="DDCCBB"
background not specified
background image100.jpg of table 0 not repeated: at least not in explorer
but what about netscape??
|
nested table 2 with identical bgcolor
table border="1" bgcolor="#E6DCC3"
a useful trick: make bgcolor and background the same (#E6DCC3)
you still may not have noticed any problems in tables 1 & 2
the thing is, netscape seems to repeat background image100.jpg in these tables
the tables are not transparant. Or are they?
|
here are two pictures (not entirely identical) of how fragments of this page look in explorer & netscape respectively
watch the backgrounds:
. . . 
see ?
netscape repeats the background of table 0
let's now try to solve this problem with a trick or two ...
nested table3
table background="x.jpg"
does non-existent image x.jpg mislead netscape?
|
nested table 4
border="1" background="x.jpg" bgcolor="#E6DCC3"
an attempt to overrule non-transparancy with bgcolor E6DCC3 |
nested table 5
border="1" background="dot.jpg
dot.jpg is a one-pixel image of color E6DCC3
this should overrule netscape
does it ? |
did you get rid of the repeated background ?
