I set up a website that works great in FP 2002. I
published it to my host provider's server and it looked
good when I clicked on the 'click here to view published
web'. Ibooted up IE6 and netscape 7 and it looked
great. But several friends I asked to look at it saw a
white background not the background picture I used. I re-
published and looked again and it was fine for both
browsers. But not for my friends. They live in
different cities, used different ISPs, different types of
connections, different types of PCs, not that any of that
should make any difference.
The site can be virwed at bill.goldschein.name

Any ideas?

FP 2002, XP Home

Table backgrounds image/color not supported in NS 4 browsers.

Apply the background image/color to the cell.

Your <body> tag contains the following attribute, which is
apparently trying to specify a background picture

background="file:///C:/LivingStructures/BtB%20rnd.jpg"

This will only work if the Web visitor's computer contains
a picture named "BtB rnd.jpg" at the path
C:\LivingStructures\.

To fix this:

1. Open your Web site.
2. Drag the picture file "BtB rnd.jpg" out of
C:\LivingStructures\ and drop it in your /images
folder.
3. Open your page.
4. Right-click the page, choose Page Properties, and
click the Formatting tab.
5. Under Background, click the Browse button and then
select the copy of "BtB rnd.jpg" that's in your
/images folder.

How do you do so within the basic HTML table tag, in other words, NO CSS?

FP uses the table tags, FP2003 offers more CSS support, so it might be easier to accomplish within
the FP2003 UI

Murray,

You are correct. However if you have NS set under Page Options | Browsers in FP, then the ability to
do this is disabled.

Thomas:

I see. It's probably OK to have that disabled for table backgrounds, but it
should not be for cell backgrounds, since they work fine. Anyhow, NN4x is a
bear any way you cut it....

I just make my pages so that they are functional and usable in NN4x without
worrying about the styling. In fact, if you visit my site in NN4x, and
compare that to IE, you'll see exactly what I mean!
