Re: background graphic not displayed

I second Sylvia: Some browsers don't support PNG yet.

I was surprised to find that Netscape 4.78/Mac  DID support your
graphic (it's a horizontal bar, orangy-yellow on the left and the rest
white).
Meanwhile, IE 5.0 SR 1  did NOT support the PNG. Earlier, I'd been
pleased to find that the IE docs that came with the browser actually
listed technology supported by IE 5/Mac. Supposedly, IE's Tasman
rendering engine supports PNG. Oh, well.

Waiting for PNG,
complex

(Whoops, I sent this first to Techniques by accident.)
