Thats IE for youat home I use a browser that doesn't support CSS, so I just get everything in a big long un-formatted row without a backdrop. Once you get used to it, its actually great because its loads faster :)
Plus the browser is infinately more pleasant to use than IE.
Have you tried Opera? My sister (who uses a Windows box at home) swears by it. And the few times I've used it, I've been really impressed.

cal designed the HTMLso that it would look good in IE, but still work in Netscape. I haven't observed the background gif thing.

It looksfine in IE, but when you switch to the window from another one, it draws the background then the CSS lays everything out, and you can see it happen, is all.
Opera doesn't do that, IIRC.
And of course, my non-CSS browser at home doesn't do that either.
It looks fine in Opera as well, btw. :)

I've noticed it toobut only on my crappy slow home PC. I think it's because the background gif isn't very tall so it has to draw it more often to fill the page. I had this problem once on a page I did. As soon as I made the gif a bit taller everything got drawn much, much quicker.
But is it worth the little bit of extra bandwidth?
