table background in Netscape? Not showing
Hello!
First time posting here....
I am working on this site..
http://www.amazinglarryonline.com/schedule/
It is a database driven ASP site. But for some reason, the column on the left that has the month names has a different background color. In IE it shows up, in Netscape it does not...
Can I make this work, or is it just a cross browser problem
Thanks,
Keith

Errors
cellpadding, cellspacing, margintop, marginleft are not valid attributes for the tag. i.e. they don't do anything and are just extraneous code.
Answer
Netscape 4.x has some weird inheritance issues with background="" in table and cell tags. The easiest way to get around it is to declare a background for that cell as well as the bgcolor. Just make a little gif of the colour and add that to the cell, so it would read: bgcolor="#660000" background="../graphics/660000.gif".
