The image will display perfectly in Explorer and Netscape 6.0 - without confusing Netscape versions 4.x and below. Browsers that don't recognize CSS commands will ignore it in the table and still display the rest of the page as you expect. Netscape 4.x and below ignores the image completely, but still displays the table contents as you have them defined. Netscape 6.0 displays the image and tiles it if the table is larger than the image. Consider Using Background Colors Instead Table background colors are your most reliable option until the vast majority of your visitors use either Explorer or Netscape 6.0.
Colors load more quickly and display more consistently across browsers.
