To get rid of that white background in radio buttons in Netscape you
have to use stylesheets. BgColor does not work. So create a simple text
file and save it as 'myStyleSheet.css'. Then enter the following:
.radios	{background:YOUR_COLOR_HERE;background-color: YOUR_COLOR_HERE; }

Then save and go to your html file and go to your radio buttons and
enter the following: 'class="radios"'. And save.

Then in the head of the html file enter the following:
<link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="myStyleSheet.css">

Then Reload! Enjoy!

PS.If any other problems just let me know.
