I'm not intimate with the mozilla/netscape source code but I would imagine there is a good reason why this doesn't work.
Remember, mozilla does strive to be standards compliant. While using a percentage in the IMG tag is allowed in the HTML spec there might be a problem when combined with the nasty NestedTableLayoutHack[tm] that we all use for site designs. That's just my guess.
The way to achieve the effect you want (call it work-around if you must) is to tile the image in the tag WITHOUT using percentage; like so:
This is the precedent the MPAA is setting -- if you know how to make a DVD player, you better be paying the MPAA money
If you want to distribute a player for a market that currently doesn't have a player, yes, cough up the dough. That's the way it is. Take it or leave it.
If you want to distribute a program created from GPLed code, cough up the source. That's the way it is. Take it or leave it.
Just thought you should know: ANY license limits choice.
I, too, want a DVD player for Linux. I am not content with playing VHS through my capture-board. If/when LinDVD materializes I'll buy it so that I can play the DVDs I have already bought.
This is certainly appalling. I viewed Google's cached version of MS's home page and there is not a single instance of the word 'netscape' or '4.72' on the page! And the only time the word 'navigator' appears is in the javascript for browser detection -- which shouldn't be indexed by their engine.
However, if you simply enter 'netscape navigator' without the version number you will get what you would expect.
Still, it makes me wonder how the hell MS pages could get such a high listing when the keywords aren't even present. That pretty much rules out 'coincidence'.

<td background='/path/to/pic.xxx'><img src='/path/to/pic.xxx' height='num' width='num' ></td>
By including the IMG in the TD tag the width of the TD will (surprise!) conform to the width of IMG
Viewing the HTML source at http://server51.com/ shows an example of this technique.

Let's see ... how do Scandinavians pronounce 'vanilla'?
vu-nee-la?
If Linus says lee-nux then to be consistant Anglophiles should probably pronounce it lin-ux.
As if it realy mattered.
