34577 - Problem with transparent gifs as table backgrounds...

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 31044

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect, P3)

Description

[Tim Kline]

On this peticular site, I have a large background image of a world map. The text
for the site goes in a nested table with a small "checker" background image,
this image is 2 colors, 1 is white, the other is just transparent, so the main
background can still be seen, but lighter. Go to the url and you'll see what I
mean. Anyway what's happening is when you scroll down, this transparent color
turns black, and the site becomes pretty unreadable. This problem doesn't exist
in IE 4 or 5, or Netscape 4.x .. but it seems to only be in Netscape 6 :(

This is a duplicate of 31044 - "The transparent background GIF is very slow.",
which happens to also cover rendering transparency as black.  The odd thing is
that the background image doesn't appear for me at *all* under 2000040412.
