Background Image Disappears in Design View

Hi, I am new to website design and just recently the background image stopped showing up in design view.  When I switch to live view and check in the browser though the background shows up again.  It used to work before but it just stopped working recently.  I have been trying to find a solution but it has not been working out.  If anyone has any ideas as to what could fix my problem, it would be greatly appreciated.
Here is my css
@charset "UTF-8";
#container {
          height: 1280px;
          width: 960px;
          margin-top: 0px;
          margin-right: auto;
          margin-bottom: auto;
          margin-left: auto;
          position: relative;
          background-image: url(../Images/background%20copy.jpg);
          background-repeat: no-repeat;
h3 {
          margin-top: 420px;
          margin-bottom: 195px;
          text-align: center;
          position: absolute;
          margin-left: 437.5px;
          text-transform: capitalize;
          font-variant: small-caps;
          font-size: 24px;
          font-style: inherit;
          text-decoration: underline;
h2
          margin-top: 160px;
          margin-bottom: 195px;
          text-align: center;
          position: absolute;
          margin-left: 230px;
          text-transform: capitalize;
          font-variant: small-caps;
p1
          margin-top: 350px;
          position: absolute;
          margin-left: 40px;
          margin-right: 60px;
          font-size: 18px;
          text-align: center;
When i turn it on live view it is also formatted correctly and everything.  But when it is on just design or split view the text and all of the pictures don't follow any of the css.

  • Why does some text disappear in Design View?

    Hi,
    I've had a website for about six years. On my Windows XP computer I used Dreamweaver 8 with minimal problems. When I upgraded to Windows 7 last spring, I bought Dreamweaver CS5. I've had a lot of problems since then. Here's the latest and most serious:
    I went to edit my homepage about a week ago, and all the text in the middle column (not the left or right sidebars) suddenly disappeared in Design View. If I click on Live View, the text shows up, as it does on the internet. This now seems to be happening in each page I open. I'm unable to edit my pages.
    I tried to install the recent update from Adobe.com, but was unable to do so. An adobe tech told me to reinstall Dreamweaver and try again. No luck.
    I never had this problem in earlier versions of Dreamweaver. My website is on the first page of Google in many categories, and I'm afraid to change it much. How do I fix this problem?
    You can view my website here: http://karathecomputertutor.com/
    Thanks.
    Kara

    You have some issues, however I dont know if they are related.  You have two opening <html> tags....thats not good. I would suggest you fix your validation issues first, see if that doent help, if it does not, let us know.

  • Why has my form suddenly disappeared from design view?

    My form has just disappeared from 'design view' but if i hit 'live view' it re-appears, the code is all there i just cant view it?

    Its because your table code is broken. I had a job this morning wading through it so I eventually selected just the from part - <form>    </form> - which I believe is intact and dumped it in another DW file.
    If you can't find the broken or missing tag/s can I suggest you do this and rebuild the outer table.

  • CS3 Templates - css disappears in design view

    In DW CS3, I've noticed that after I've been working with
    templates for a while, often with several templates open
    simultaneously, the style rendering suddenly disappears in design
    view, and I see only the unformatted text on the screen. If I close
    DW and restart, the pages render correctly, but after 15 min. or
    so, the style problem returns. Anyone else run into this?

    Wait - is this about FLASH or CSS? (see your subject line).
    Anyhow - the solution posted here 3 or 4 times a day would be
    to make the
    links to the Flash in the Template page be ROOT relative
    links, i.e., change

  • Image missing from design view

    Hi. In DW CS4 on XP.
    I have an image that is missing in my design view from DW. It shows up in the live view, but when I select it I cannot get the option to change the image.
    I do not want to change the image in the code. It is not loading my new picture under the same filename for some reason.
    I have all the visual aids shown except the first 2 listed: CSS layout backgrounds & box models.
    I tired selecting all over the table this page is designed in. I cannot seem to select that picture missing. Right now it is a missing link & usually I am able to click the missing link box. I even tried opening it up in DW 8, but I am not even able to select the box, but at least I see it.
    Please help if you can.
    Thanks.

    I would have said "Try renaming the folder containing the images in Rh's Project Manager. That sometimes fixes the problem. You can revert to the old name afterwards."
    Keeping all the images, and / or topics, in the root is never a good idea. It can slow things down and it's messy.
    You can move the images you can see but obviously you cannot move the others. Try moving a topic that has one of the images to a different folder and see if that refreshes. Also try deleting the CPD file and reopening Rh.
    Backup first.

  • Images broken in design view on new computer paths leading to old harddrive?

    I recently got a new imac and installed cs5 dreamweaver ( I was using dreamweaver 8 but it no longer works in mountain lion) . I redfined the site all was fine then I must have done something and now suddenly all my images are broken in design view and in brower and live view! The site shows the images online from the server but everything is broken in design view. The directory is a mess as I used way too may subfolders when I first did the site but it's too large to start over. I tried deleting the site from my harddrive all together and creating a new folder for it and just getting the entire site from the server but the images still don't show. I don't want to have to go to every page on the site and fix broken links! I can pull an image into a page by browsing to the folder on my harddrive but they are not appearing anymore on their own. If the images were uploaded originally from another computer and the folder being used now for the site on my harddrive is different that won't break the image paths will it? It all worked fine until a few days ago. What I don't understand is I thought the images wouldn't show if they were only on the server and not on my harddrive but since I just GOT the site from the server, all the images ARE now on my harddrive in the new folder so why still nothing showing? I I tried right clicking the broken images and showing design notes they seem to be lookin for a path to my old computer where the harddrive was named differently than it is now. Is there ANY way to fix this? What about renaming my harddrive to the old name?
    Greatful for any advice but I am very much a newbie so not sure I will be able to do what I need to.

    Spaces in folder/filenames are not a good practice.  Space are converted to %20 on the server.  DW's Design View often can't reconcile this.  Best advice is to remove the spaces and use underscores _ or hyphens -
    Rename this:

    Also, you have a misplaced <head> tag.  It needs to be above the Dynamic drive Javascript code.

  • Background-image of a Design Studio 1.3 extension is not displayed when the control is  dragged on the canvas

    Hello,
    I have a Design Studio Extension with a background image which behave well in Design Studio 1.2.
    In Design Studio 1.3 when I drag the control into the canvas the image does not show-up. If I execute the application the image appear in the browser even is not in the canvas.Once I save and reopen the application the image is displayed on the canvas as expected.
    I built an extension based on  the 'Timer' sample which comes with the DS_13_SDK_Samples ( it has a background image) and it behaves the same way - when you drag the control on the canvas, the image is not displayed.
    Any help to solve this issue is much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    It does start to work once I save and reopen or even when I run.
    I tried the inline style but the behavior is much stranger. It does work if I have a full address url to an image, but if my image is part of the control's folder structure it fails completely - it cannot map the right address to the image. The only configuration that appears to work better is the one with the original problem.
    Thank you.

  • Background Images Disappearing on External Display

    I have a late model Macbook Air and just upgraded to Mountain Lion.  Since doing so every time my Mac goes to screensaver and then I unlock it, it loses my background image on my external monitor (which I use as my primary when docked).  The only way to then get it back is to logout and back in but then it onlh stays until it goes to screen saver again.  Once it's "lost" opening "Change Desktop Background" and activating different background images has no effect... it just stays an ugly gray.  This has onlhy been an issue since going to Mountain Lion and the image doesn't disappear on the Air's built-in display.  Any ideas?

    Unfortunately my issue is back.  Selecting a new screensaver seemed to work for about 12 hours but now it's just the way it was.  Today I tried softwater suggestion...
    Open Terminal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) and copy/paste this command into the Terminal window:
    rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist
    press 'return' on your keyboard.
    Restart your mac and test for the issue.
    ... to no avail.
    Other ideas?

  • Setting a background image using CSS Designer

    I am trying to set a background image for a page header using the CSS Designer. When I click the browse button the Select Image Source dialog box launches but any time I click on something the dialog box closes and no changes are made. Does anyone know what is causing this?

    Which DW are you using and which platform/OS, please? I am unable to reproduce this with CC2014 on OS10.9.4

  • How to view correct image dimensions in design view?

    I am new to Dreamweaver cs6. In previous version, the dimensions of an image is directly reflected in the design view. Now it doesnt appear to do so. Does anyone know if there is a setting to fix this? It looks fine when I preview in the browser, but I'd like to see how my page elements fit together in the design view. Any suggestions?

    Here is the code for a similar example:
      <td width="409" height="37"><img width="409" height="1" border="0" style="display:block; line-height:0;" src="http://offers2.compuware.com/rs/compuware/images/spacer.png" alt=""></td>
    Although the height is set to 1, it is showing a height much larger than that (in both the design view and browser preview)
    Thanks! I really appreciate the help.

  • Images Missing In Design view

    Hello,
    I am hoping to get some advice fixing the following DW
    problem:
    In WYSIWYG mode I can’t view any images while trying to
    modify a .ASP page. I can see the code via code view. But
    can’t see anything in the design view on my default.asp page.
    I can see other pages correctly, with the exception of the
    header include.
    I seem to have had this issue in the past, like maybe with
    Dreamweaver 3. I forgot what my settings fix was.
    I have double checked with my work mates Dreamweaver CS2
    settings. And we matchup perfectly with the exception that his
    works and mine does not.
    Help, I am running out of hair to pull out.
    Thanks!

    We operate off of a network drive so we can all see the same
    files. We use checkout to keep from over writing each other. We
    then have a staging server that we upload the files to to test.
    Then we can deploy to a our live servers.
    All of the code base has worked with no issues since 2000.
    This includes our use of includes and our folder paths.
    The only thing that is different is that I wiped the computer
    I am currently using, which up until a week ago was using DW8, did
    a clean install of the windows package, installed my licensed copy
    of CS3 design studio, and completed all of the Adobe updates up
    until yesterday.
    We are using links relative to document. I have tried setting
    it to site root, but that had no effect.
    I have been using and setting up multiple .asp websites using
    Dreamweaver since v3/UltraDev. I have also got a licensed copy of
    CS3 on my notebook computer and do not have these issues.
    I am thinking that I should un-install and do a clean
    reinstall and see what that does.
    There are some threads around the internet that my buddy
    found that said to turn on DW8 then turn on DW9, it may take a few
    times, but they got it to display the bits I am missing. I think
    this is kinda cheesy, but I guess if it works...

  • Images broken in Design View, but work in Live View

    Dear Adobe,
    it appears that externally hosted images are not showing in the Design or Split screen view, but have no trouble showing in the Live view. I have had this error since fresh installing DW CC 2014 and had no issue with previous versions of DW. I have tried some of the options suggested around the web including reinstalling but the problem persists.
    Please someone tell me there is a solution to this problem as I could never image that something so simple could take me to the edge of my nerves. I am experiencing a drop in productivity since I am constantly switching between views and it's making the whole DW experience a drag as well since there is a sluggish lag when switching views.
    Sorry for the rant, hope you guys could help me out here

    The display of externally hosted images has been problematic, and somewhat intermittent, in DW's Design View for a long time. A lot of us just work with local versions of the images (say for html emails) and switch out the local links out for absolute links to server hosted images as the last step using Find & Replace.
    I have pretty much stopped using Design View all together though and do most of my coding manually while Live View is turned on, so I'm not sure if this was supposed to be fixed in DWCC 2014 or not.

  • Web Page Text Disappearing in Design View

    Hi,
    I'm using Dreamweaver 8, and I am loading the page of an
    existing web page into Dreamweaver (page was coded in notepad, not
    in Dreamweaver). The web page uses CSS and is full of text. Problem
    is, I cannot see any of the text that is in a table while in design
    view.
    The tables in design view look like they are compressed
    together, and the site in design view doesn't resemble the actual
    page at all.
    I can see the text on the webpage in code view, and when I
    preview the page in IE or Firefox, the text is there - however in
    Design view it disappears!
    I have tried Expanded Tables Mode too, but no luck.
    Any suggestions? Is there some setting I need to adjust, to
    see the text on this page while in design view?
    Thanks!
    N~

  • BUG: JSP disappears from design view with MyFaces / Tomahawk

    Hi,
    When I try to create a JSF JSP in design view (as opposed to code view) using MyFaces and Tomahawk 1.1.3, the design view will blank and display "Type, paste or drag and drop content onto this blank....". This usually happens after I've dragged half a dozen JSF outputlabels and inputtext boxes. The code still exists in code view, and will even compile and deploy ok, it's just the design view that stops working. The design view usually blanks while I'm switching between the code tabs at the top of the screen, although I'm fairly sure it blanked as I dropped a textbox onto the form once.
    I've restarted JDev, tried to create a second page, clicked refresh etc but I can't get it back. This has happened starting from scratch 3 times now.
    I've switched back to the builtin reference implementation JSF (and no Tomahawk), and JDeveloper works fine, so it seems to be a problem using MyFaces. I've added MyFaces and Tomahawk via Manage Libraries.
    This Oracle article - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/101/howtos/myfaces/index.html
    states that the RI version can't be swapped out in JDev Developer Preview version but I understand that's not true now?
    I'm using :-
    JDeveloper SU4
    java 1.5
    Windows XP SP1
    Thanks for any help.

    I found the answer. I went to View, Style Rendering and clicked several of the boxes  Display Media was one.
