Topic: Netscape 6 transparency headaches

Hey,

I'm having a trauma-inducing problem with my upcoming site redesign. It seems that Netscape 6 and IE both have different interpretations of web-safe colours. Netscape seems to render my background colour in a slightly different tint than the image, so you can see where the edge of the image lies on top of the background. It's not seamless, even though the colours are supposedly the same.

IE handles this properly. But I'm not sure whether it's a problem with my HTML or with my GIFs. The colour in Photoshop says "51, 102, 153" and in hex that's "#336699". But in Netscape there's a slight discrepancy.

Should I be using some other form of image encoding, or is it a known bug in Netscape 6? Your help would be appreciated here. Surely someone else has had this problem?

Might be a hardware problem -
Especially if you have the page up in two windows; some hardware
doesn't allow you to allocate a particular color twice - not really
a problem when you have 24-bit color, cause the colors are sooo close
to one another - so check your hardware settings.


Hope this helps,

Even if it works in both browsers, chances are it will look wrong on either Mac or PC (depending on which you used for development). The solution, make a 50x50 gif image of the color to use for the background.
