first of all, a word of warning. nn4's background image support is
pathetic. that being said, your problems are very solvable.
here's the first problem (line 21):
<td background="images/2-2a.jpg" valign="top"></td>
notice you don't have any content in the cell. netscape won't render a
cell, its background color, or its background image if it's an empty cell.
and your second problem is the same thing (line 47):
<td background="images/6-2_bkg.jpg"></td>
place a non-breaking space ( ) or spacer image in the empty cells to
pad them out with content and it should all work smoothly for you.
good luck,
