background-color works fine on Netscape 4, with one slight warning. If you 
set a background-color on an element and don't set a border, Netscape 4 
gets very confused. However, if you add a border, it correctly fills the 
whole element.[1] All you have to do is add a border 0.1px wide, which 
won't ever appear[2], and the background-color works.

div.navigation {
         background-color: green;
         color:  black;
         border: 0.1px solid white;
}

[1] But it gets the position of the border wrong...
[2] Or you can make the border of the div the same colour as the 
background-color of the body.
