Correct. This depends on the version number, platform, and design of the
Web browser you're using. Earlier versions of Netscape do not support all
the features of the newest one, and other browsers (OmniWeb, Mosaic, et
c.) may not support them at all.
Redundancy and standards are your friends. Try specifying a color as well
as a background image (<td bgcolor="whatever"
background="images/ugly.gif">). Also, try out your pages on every version
of browser you can find for your platform, and try it out on as many other
computers as possible. Never depend on browser-specific features for
legibility.
