You can move it down the page a couple of ways. The hard (but NS4 
compatible) way is to increase the canvas size of the image so there is 
more space at the top. The easy, elegant (but NS4 incompatible) way is to 
do something like this:

body {
         background-image: url(foo.gif);
         background-position: 10px 20px;
}

This will position the image 10px to the left and 20px down.

Sounds like the tables are covering the background image, and Netscape 4 
isn't honoring background-image: none. Try removing background-image: none 
from the table rule in CSS.
