Graphic overlaps text in Netscape 4.7 for Mac

[jhapple25 webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

In Netscape 4.7 Mac, I have some graphics that are GIF images of text (so that the text appears to be in Futura) in the same table cell as some HTML text. Now I placed a break tag after the GIF image but it still overlaps some of the HTML text obscuring it and preventing the paragraph from being read properly. I'll leave a link to a page that I know has this problem. And this only happens in NS 4.7 Mac.

Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

NN4x can be a problem browser to design for. To correct the issue you
are experiencing delete the style you have applied to the nested tables
cell, ie lightblue.

Select (highlight) the first block of text and apply the lightblue
styling to it. This makes it a <span> class. Do the same for the second
block of text.

This should get around the problem. Normally if you are going to support
NN4x I would advise that every element be inserted into its own personal
cell. That way it cant be affected by any styling applied to other
elements which may surround it.

Put a nested table inside that cell, with a cell each for the two images
and the text blocks. Here's the entire table that should go into the
editable region "content here":

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="0">
<tr align="left" valign="top">
<td width="265"><img src="../images/img_cd1.gif"
width="265" height="86" border="0" alt="You dream it."></td>

<td rowspan="2" width="267">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td><img src="../images/img_cd3.gif" width="225"
height="43" alt="Architects have complete design flexibility."
border="0" vspace="2" hspace="0"></td>
</tr>
