The simplified HTML code at http://schist/ty/index.html was taken from ty.com (don't try that at home - they have about thirty lines of blank space between each line of code). Basically, there is a spacer GIF image there (spacer3.gif) that displays differently depending on where it is on the page. It looks fine under IE and Nav 4.51. You can download that GIF directly from http://schist/ty/spacer3.gif if you'd like to have a look at it.

<IMG SRC="spacer3.gif" WIDTH="30" HEIGHT="10" ALIGN="BOTTOM"NATURALSIZEFLAG="0"> <IMG SRC="spacer3.gif" WIDTH="55" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="BOTTOM" NATURALSIZEFLAG="3"> I must be missing something here. The images have width and height tags to specify different sizes. It looks right to me. Could you explain more about the image is displayed differently than expected? -pnunn

Looking at http://schist/ty in the 1999042908 build, it displays as a blackish rectangle in apprunner, but displays (correctly?) as, well, nothing under Communicator 4.6. If you view the image itself in 4.6, it's transparent / clear; if you download and view it using the Apple QuickTime 3 Image Viewer, it's also clear. That's the problem I'm seeing. Give me a holler if you'd like - my cube's close to yours, you're welcome to stop by...

Thanks for the clarification. I know whats going on now. The gif, spacer3.gif, was specified as transparent. But there is another setting that specifies what the transparency is filled with. The general recommendation is that the transparency be filled with 'background'. This gif specified the transparency be filled with 'nothing'. Something has changed between 4.x and the current code in determining what 'nothing' is. For example, gecko may decide the default bkground, ie 'nothing' is the background specified in the prefs, but 4.x used what ever the background color was specified for the document body. I'll track it down. -pn
