Table background
Please take a look at: http://eboarding.net/page/betaindex.html
In the middle where the text is with the news and such there is a background that shows up just right on Microsoft Internet Explorer. But in netscape it shows up all messed up and bunched together. What can I do to fix this.
Thanks

Hmm.. I've heard NS sometimes has trouble with table bg images. The background call looks OK but it seems something else might be wrong as NS isn't showing the grey behind your titles like in IE (called as a TD bg).
You might try running through a validator to see if it picks up a missing or extra </TD> or something that might throw NS off.
Though there are some table gurus here, so one of them may have the answer if they drop by.

Try moving the background image into the nested (inner) table cell instead of the cell the table is nested in.
Go ahead- say that 3 times real fast!

Okay, Lloyd is right. With all those nested tables this is never going to work in NS.
You can redesign your table structure to make it possible, but since this graphic is expected to repeat it would be seriously not worth the effort.
The good news is it works as advertised in NS 6.0.

I see what you mean. I took a look at your source code and I see you have many nested tables. This may be your problem. I have had similar Netscape troubles in the past.
My solution was to remove the background altogether. Someone else may have a better solution for you.
