[thelist] CELL BACKGROUND COLOR IN NETSCAPE

Adrian

[ORIGINAL: IE will color a cell background using 
bgcolor="yellow" but netscape wont.  Can I over 
come this?  Its very frustrating.  I only want 
ot do one cell not the whole table.  any ideas??]

One workaround i have found works well is 
creating a (1)one pixel .gif of the color i am 
trying to embed as a bgcolor and use it in 
conjunction with the bgcolor attribute. 

td bgcolor="#000000" background="000000pixle.gif"

It has worked in deeply nested tables with 
multiple colors and images in tables higher on 
the hiarchy branch.

as far as i have tested it has worked back to nn 
3.1 on mac os7.5 an pc

Watch your font colors people running with 
images off wont see the coloring so if your 
background on the parent table and the font 
color within the child td don't contrast readers 
wont see anything.


Hope it helps
