Thanks David for the reply. I tried what you said and it is working excellently on most of the browsers! I only get the background image not shown on the following two (non flash) combos: Netscape 4.78 (no Flash) Windows 2000 Professional (background image not shown) Explorer 4.0 (no Flash) Windows 98 (nothing shown seems to be a complete mess) http://www.villa-corti.com/menus.htm Is the Internet explorer 4.0 with windows 98 not compatible with divs maybe Thanks a lot for any advice on those two browsers nearly there!! ed gooddy wrote: > Thanks for the pointer to the validating page francky- I added the > closing div but the problem continues with background image not being > shown(except in Internet Explorer and windows OS) Does anyone know why > this is happening and what I can do to make the background image show? > > #navbar { Z-INDEX: 10; CLEAR: both; BACKGROUND: url(navtile.gif) repeat- > x left top; MARGIN: 0px; WIDTH: 760px; POSITION: relative } > > The link to the page is www.villa-corti.com/menus.htm > (code snipped) Hi Ed, Try adding "overflow: auto" to these #navbar declarations.
