Hi Albie,
I think this is actually a bug in netscape's implementation of the no-repeat
value for backgrounds. It's not just that it's repeating main frame content,
try bringing up another window in front of the browser then minimising it...
I get the content from the front window in the browser until I refresh the
frame.
I notice that all of your TD elements have an attribute of background="".
You might want to get rid of this, as I seem to remember NN doing badly with
"null" images in table backgrounds.
Failing that, give your background image a few hundred extra white pixels at
the bottom, and give your main table a nice white background.
Good luck,
Seb.
