making your css look the same across browsers

[kies]

ello,
i know that ns4 support for css sucks. i'd like one simple thing to look the same across the browsers, and i'm not sure if i can. the link below is for a really small page. (2 div tags) it's a mock up of how i'd like some menus to look when i'm done developing them. looks fine in ns6 and ie5, but really different in ns4. can anyone recommend a technique to get these div looks the same? i am really frustrated.

Hey Kies

That's why Netscape only set The Background-color where the Text is!

try to add Tables(with the height and width you want the divs)in the divs

hope it helped

You gotta write like this:
<style>
DIV{background-color:#000000;layer-background-color:#000000}
</style>
to make it cross-browser. I also suggest you make a class of all those similar divs:
<style>
.so{height: 16px;}
</style>
<div class="so" id="so1">CONTENT</div>

when i get a chance, i'll try the table method you suggested. that bring up another question though. if i get the div the size i want, using a table cell, how can i get a mouseover to change the bgcolor of the whole area, rather than jus the textarea in ns4?

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>

<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>

Well what i do to get that effect, is one of two things:-

Make two images, and use the rollover effect, but have the pictures behind them Divs.

Or, I would use onmouseover="this.bgColor='whatever'" for Netscape, and for IE, use:-

onmouseover="bgColor='whatever'"

Hope it helps
