[Javascript] Background color in <DIV> in Netscape 4.7x

[javascript@xxxxxxxxxx (Muchacho, Laurent (TWIi London))]

Hi Reuben

The only thing you need to do for putting a background-color to a div in NS4
is:

<DIV STYLE="background-color:blue;layer-background-color:blue"> 

but I don't recommend you to use inline style with NS4 too much (buggy)

if you like to use an image on the background as 

<DIV STYLE="background-image:
url(images/yourimage.gif);layer-background-image:
url(images/yourimage.gif);"> 

use the same layer in front and this will work fine

Hi,
Sorry if this is a bit off topic. I need help in figuring out how to put a 
good bacground color for a <DIV> section so that it renders correctly in 
Netscape 4.7. Just putting, eg. 
<DIV STYLE='background-color:blue'> 

Makes netscape only renders the background when there is text on the 
foreground. To know what I mean, here are 2 screenshoots. The first one is 
taken with netscape 4.7. The second one the result I want, which is rendered

correctly by Mozilla / Netscape 7. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I actually use css on the page on screenshoot, but the result is the same in

Netscape 4. The <DIV STYLE='background-color:blue'> gaves me the same bad 
rendering in NS4. I can of course not using CSS if that really helps, since 
the page is generated dynamically from the server-side anyway.


Thanks.
