ah yes, netscape's background bug. i ran into that just yesterday
with a site i'm working on. you want the background to show through
the tables (but don't want the nested tables to have their own
backgrounds), you could specify a background for each of the nested
tables, using a transparent .gif. backgrounds inside nested tables
will override the background of the table those tables are nested in.
unfortunately, the same can't be said for using background colors
inside a nested table. does that make sense?
it's buggy and bloated, i know, but it does work.
