NESTED TABLES
BACKGROUND AND BGCOLORS IN EXPLORER AND NETSCAPE

text outside table
step inside

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 ?

explore 'n escape
you're out again

bye!
