79440 - Trans gif table backgrounds aren't transparent.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 77914

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[svelocity]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9) Gecko/20010505
BuildID:    2001050515

a cell background image is a transparent gif.  The part that is transparent
appears black rather than displaying the main background.  The image can be
found in the upper left cell on the page.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto http://yarcsi.no-ip.com/
2. look at the spot under the sun thingie.

Actual Results:  The spot is a terribly ugly black spot.

Expected Results:  Should have been the brown texture behind the rest of the page.

Easy workaround, don't use transparent gifs.  This is my HTML:

				<tr height="88">
					<!-- Row 1 Column 1 -->
					<td valign=top background="topleft.gif" width=357 height=88>
					</td>
					<!-- Row 1 Column 2 -->
					<td valign=top background="topright.jpg" width=400 height=88>
					</td>

the topleft.gif is the problem.
