crossbrowser form backgrounds

Hello
I have this image for the background of my text type inputs, its a small faded border that spans the left and top side of the box.

when using background:url('input.gif') the picture will repeat itself in MSIE6.
it is fine in Netscape7, so to fix it i added background:url('input.gif') no-repeat
but when i do that, the background of the input in Netscape7 goes transparent, this also happens with any customization made after the ) in the code.

is there a way around this problem?

Try this: background-repeat:no-repeat

Thanks for the reply
unfortunatly that wont work, its pretty much the same as ('pic.gif') no-repeat

i guess i am just going to customize the borders to make the same effect because the image wont work, unless i can find a solution.

ok, the "fixed" command seemed to work.
the image isnt showing exactly the same in ie and netscape, it was hard to see in netscape i guess that was the problem(?).


another victim of lack of sleep to make room for coding

Is your gif file transparent?
If it is, and you don't see the applied background-color, you have found a bug. Search bugzilla for it, and if not found, please file a helpful report. :)

Though Mozilla 1.0.1 (Netscape 7) is kinda old, you might want to grab a nightly trunk build (1.3) and see if you still get the same effect.

thanks for the advice jkd

nah its a white background, i dont know what my problem is/was.
i can see the picture, just not as prominent as in ie
