Hi

This is usually a problem because of a conflict between the cascading style sheet and the page properties. Post the top half of your code up to and including the "body" tag (but please remove the MM function if they are in there as they will just pad out the text. Then we can all pass judgement on your code -not really, we'll take a peek. Derren

Hmmm.

MM is the prefix that dreamweaver puts before all of its created javascript, so it was just a lazy way to say no to worry about posting any javascript. Too late!

Now, without wishing to be too picky, you have posted the frameset page. You cannot set the background image or colour for a frameset! You must set it in each of your individual pages: top_frame, main_frame and bottom_frame.

This may be why you are struggling. Derren

That seems OK, how and where are you trying to add the background image? Derren

thanks for the perseverence derren
the background colour is sorted but is there any thing i can do to get the same visual result on internet explorer and netcsape? one of the problems i had was that i was viewing with internet explorer and not netscape. isn't internet explorer more widely used?

There are so many little foibles between Netscape and IE, it's just a case of addressing each one as they come up. Netscape, although the oldest, is lagging behind IE in the development terms and IMHO IE is the superior for formatting code and general user friendliness.

IE is the most widely used browser, but as a website developer it is down to us to make sure that we test and design for both browsers (and even on Opera)

Which bit is winding you up? Different font sizes? Inability to set a table border colour consistently? No hover behaviour? Table background images? Derren

I am using IE and the background is canary yellow, as requested. Derren
