Hello, I have i site and it's almost done. If I were to add this to a cell in a table: <TD BGCOLOR="#000000">, the backgound would turn black in ie5, but why doesn't it load up black in Netscape?

Here's the site: http://members1.visualcities.com/digital-fx/main.html

If anyone has Netscape, please visit the site and tell me if the white text (in the subtitles) shows up against a black background, or the background of the website.

Thanks a lot, Sabrina

Well, first off, I like the design, but I like the old one better (you might want to redirect people from your old address to this new address). Everything should work right in both ie and ns. The only thing I can suggest is reviewing your code and looking for any errors (like forgetting a ").

I like the site alot. Very clean and stylish.
BGCOLOR is depriciated in tables. Maybe you should use a style sheet and create a class for that element and assign the bgcolor that way.(TD.classname { background-color: #000000;}
Still the site looks really very good in my netscape 4.

I like your layout... I couldn't get to your problem because i'm on IE4 and 5... but i have one bit of advice... am i right in assuming that you'll be using some DHTML for that part where you say people can "drag" the images around? Becarefull, because unfortunately alot of dhtml isn't cross-browser and alot of people are still sitting with old browsers personally , i'd like to kick them to wake up and UPDATE.. because it kinda restricts all the effects and things you an do on your site... so if ur gonna use it... TELL them that not all of them will be able to do it..LOL* or else you'll have people dragging they're mouses to pieces !!

good luck with your site!

Thank you all for your comments, my site isn't finished yet but I will be posting it up here for future reviews and comments very soon.

About the dragging images... I found a scipt at javascipts.com that enables users to drag on an image... so with my hope-fully realistic newspaper site, I can add pictures of coins, pieces of paper or other little goodies to enhance the effect.

Hmmm... It doesn't work in Netscape!!! Ahhhh!!!! I feel sorry for the netscape users... I'll somehow put the warning on my site. Does it work for IE 4 and below? At http://www.javascipts.com I used the keywords: Dragable Elements.

Uhhh, Sabrina,
Think you have a problem. Just visited site in NS and all i get is a black screen. Tried shift -reload, cleared cache,, etc. all with the same result. Views fine in IE5 though.
