CSS layout is problematical at best in those browsers. Also a problem with backgrounds in Netscape if the CSS is in a different folder, as the images must be specified with respect to the HTML folder, not the CSS. Maybe that's why the background does not show up? Personally, although I have made Netscape 4.x work with CSS in the past, I don't think it worthwhile any more. What I do is prevent version 4 and older browsers seeing my CSS. If the HTML is marked up "semantically" visitors having these old browsers get a perfectly usable page, even if it's plain. You could also split your styles into two - one for fonts and colors, another for layout, and hide the layout one from version 4.x browsers. There are several ways of hiding CSS from old browsers. Using an @import would work. My method is to link my style sheets with this media attribute: media="screen, projection" (I think that any multiple media types will work, if you prefer.)
