<tip type="CSS,NN4.x">
Surprisingly, Navigator 4.x has support for some CSS background
image properties. However, there are bugs:
- The repeating image problem that shows its head in nested tables
with background images called via HTML still applies. If you nest a
table within cell with a background image declared via CSS, the
image will re-start its tile within each nested element.
- If you don't declare a background color via CSS, and your image
is missing or does not tile (thanks to the background-repeat
property), any space not covered by the image will display other
(seemingly random) elements from the page as artifacts. You can
alleviate this by declaring a background color with your CSS before
the background image declaration.
A longhand inline CSS example of background properties that will
work in both NN4.x+ and IE4.x+:
<td style="background-color:#ffffff;background-
image:url(../images/sidebar_foot.jpg);background-repeat:no-
repeat;">foo</td>
