Not off hand, but do report it to Netscape. At least then, future versions
of the browser might be free from the problem.
If you can't explain to them what causes it properly, host an example
version of the page, give them the URL and illustrate how interacting with
it causes artifacts.

Does this same problem occur with Mozilla 1.6? Or Firefox 0.8?
If not, then whatever the bug was, has already been fixed. Netscape
stopped development with 7.1, which is the Mozilla 1.4 engine. Or so I
am told; Netscape the company is dead.

Thanks Jerry,
But I have to avoid reloading the page as it contains a java applet which,
if the page is reloaded, gets restarted, and I need to avoid that. Instead,
I need to simply "repaint" what is already there, but evidently, there's no
way to do this under html/dhtml/javascript. What I'm trying to do is find a
way to "fool" the browser into repainting the view, much as it does,
automatically, if a window is opened in front of it, and subsequently
closed, the browser view repaints correctly.

I see. Than that probably won't work. LOL. Coincidentally, the code was
generated by Dreamweaver MX as a fix for Netscape resize problem. Which
just makes me think that it is a well known problem.

You could, on a timer event, put up an opaque (color of your choice) DIV
that covers the entire screen (or the part that you know you want to
repaint) and then hide it again. This might well force a repaint of
everything that was under the DIV. It would cause a brief flash of the
screen, but that might be preferable to having garbage on the screen.
You have to do this on a timer event because you have to give the browser a
chance to make the DIV visible, before you tear it down. In other words,
you can't, in JS, just make the DIV visible and immediately hide it, on two
successive lines of code, because the browser will just ignore that. You
have to make it visible, exit from your event's code, and then a fraction of
a second later you can hide it.
