Table backgrounds & netscape!
I just can't seem to get this right! I have a table with 1 row and 4 columns, I want the whole table to have a background, the tile I'm using for the tabel is 55 high (the height of the table) and 10 wide so that it tiles across. It looks lovely in IE, Opera and NS6.2 but in NS4.7 it doesn't show the background at all. What do you have to do to get the background to show in NS4??? I have tried having the bg for the whole table and individual td's, tr's and all in css as well and it's now driving me nuts! I'd give up and have a solid colour background colour for the whole table but that wouldn't work with the rest of the design!
HELP!!!!!

Ughhhh......Netscape! The only way around this I have found is to use nesting tables.
Apply your background image in the outer table. Put your 1 row and 4 column table within it and use a transparent gif as a background for the entire nested table.
I know nasty nesting tables but NS has a habit of applying the background image for a table to each individual cell.

I can't actually seem to get NS4.78 to show any background to the table at all

It's not online as I have only just started it but if I can't get it straight I'll post it up tomorrow. Just looking for obvious things I'm doing wrong right now. Maybe after a good nights sleep it'll be clearer!

are the td cells empty ? if so add
if you want to do it html way, just use single table with image as background image in table tag.
if you want to do it css way, set background image as a class, and add the class="??" to each td cell, adding it to the table as well wont hurt
