Netscape Tag Support

[CrazyKillerMan 0]

Possibly another for Phillip

 

<table BGCOLOR="#000000" WIDTH="50%" BORDER=0 COLS="2">

 

in IE the table has a black background

in netscape or mozilla its white....

does netscape not support this 'BGCOLOR' tag inside the <TABLE> tag???

I know its not widely supported and I know style sheets are now in play with html 4

 

Just curious

If you're too lazy to write a stylesheet then you can use inline styles:

 

<table BGCOLOR="#000000" WIDTH="50%" BORDER=0 COLS="2" style="background-color:black">

 

should do the trick.

the reason no style sheets were drawn up in the code

Netscape prefers to have the BGCOLOR tags in the TD tags.

bgcolor = color [CI]

Deprecated. This attribute sets the background color for the document body or table cells.

This attribute sets the background color of the canvas for the document body (the BODY element) or for tables (the TABLE, TR, TH, and TD elements). Additional attributes for specifying text color can be used with the BODY element.

 

This attribute has been deprecated in favor of style sheets for specifying background color information.

 

For anyone interested, here's a useful test page to see how good a browser is at rendering HTML4/CSS.

(This is what it should look like.)

 

Look at it in IE, Opera and Netscape 6. Then look at it in Netscape 4. And laugh.
