The background image ([url]http://www.sonnierart.com/ca/blacklines1b.gif[/url]) that is supposed to be in the black area above & below the header shows up in Netscape 7.0, but will not show up for me in IE 6.0.

That's because the background is applied to the table row <tr> tag
instead of the cell <td> tag:

<tr background="blacklines1b.gif">

Thanks for the answers. I wonder if the software could be revised in the future to have the background applied to the <td> tag instead of the table row <tr> tag? It's kind of annoying to have to change the location by hand. I figure one of the points of using DW is for the "automated-ness" of it.

Thanks!
