You could always use a transparent gif as a background image, that should work, I'd think. (Also a good netscape fix for certain situations, too!)

Heh, yeah. I've lost count of how many times I've userd 1px by 1px transparent gif's in table and cell backgrounds just to get it looking exactly the same cross browser.

FWIW, I've started making a point of replacing all of my 1x1 pixel blank gifs with 32x32 pixel blank gifs. Some of the older browsers and older computers take *forever* to re-draw the screen with 12 million copies of the same little image.

hang on though.. .... surely the browser enlarges the 1x1.gif rather than repeats it?..

ie.. <img src="1x1.gif" width="50" height="50"> is a 50x50px streeetched gif, as opposed to 2500 little ones?

Doc meant if it's a repeated background, I believe.

<td background="clear.gif">

Then it repeats

If you're using JavaScript to set layer background color to transparent, you should set it to blank value in order to make it transparent in NN4...

if (document.layers) document.layers["yourlayer"].bgColor = '';

I can second that 1px by 1px taking forever to load thing. I tried that a few times with different page backgrounds and the slowdown was significant.

What would be the point in a transparent background - you wouldn't be able to see it??!!

Well, the point it very simple. Anything that's under the layer with transparent background will show through...
