Repeating Background in Table Cells in Netscape 4.X This is a known bug in Netscape 4.X. To set a background for the table use a "style" attribute for the table such as follows: <table STYLE="background-image: url('bkgnd.jpg')"> Alternatively, the background may be set in a stylesheet. "Insert Table" menu item is greyed out: You are in the "Layout View" mode. You will need to switch to the "Standard View" mode. You can do this by clicking on thicon for the "Standard View" mode which can be found on the left hand side of the bottom line in the the Objects panel. (You can invoke the Objects panel with Ctrl + F2.) In Dreamweaver, select the text and apply "Default Font" and Size "none" to it in Selection Properties. All <font> tags will disappear. Use the "Tag Stripper" extension at: http://www.massimocorner.com/. Look for it under the 'Commands' submenu in the 'Dreamweaver' section. Opening a new browser window from a text (or graphic) link: 1. Select the text or graphic (the trigger object) that will open the window. 2.
