Re: new site launch - net-lets.com
Hi Charlie,
Many thanks for the breakdown. I think I have a fix that might work. The
blue background in the left hand cell (leftside) is replaced with blue.gif,
and then background colour set to 'light' - your Linux/Netscape4.51 should
then pick up the lighter color and not the gif inside the selection boxes.
I'll try it and let you know :)
All the best,
Tom..
