Thanks for the reply Tom, but I must disagree, in a friendly manner ;-) , on both of your points:
1. I play at work on my lunch break. Our IS department only supports Netscape 4.06 currently. That's a good reason not to have the latest. There's probably other people who can't or simply don't know how to upgrade. Believe me - I'm a programmer also and work with end users all the time - they're quite often computer-stupid. They just use whatever came on their computer, or are in a school lab or someplace where they take what they get, which is quite often not the latest and greatest. I can upgrade my Netscape, but there's bound to be people out there who can't.
2. Using a transparent gif WILL work. You are using gif images for the letter tiles already, so on the squares that don't have letters in them, use a 1-pixel transparent gif and force its size to 20x20. I've even tried this myself and it works. I downloaded the html for one of your scribble boards, and in the table data in between the <td> and </td> I replaced the in the empty cells with <img width=20 height=20 src=pixel.gif> . This solved the problem. If you send your email address to jbg@myrealbox.com, or post it here, I can send you my pixel.gif as well as a sample scribble html file that works with Netscape 4.0x.
Thanks for listening,
JB
