Background image doesn't work in dreamweaver 8

I have dreamweaver 8 and trying to install a background image through modify>page properties>appearance.
I created my background image through fireworks and saved it in my "images" folder. However when I access it through dreamweaver, I'm not able to see it on my page. I can, however, apply my background color, but not my "bg.jpg" image.
Why not?
Can somebody help me?

My guess is that your image might not be suitable for web output.
Did you optimize your image for the web? I don't use Fireworks but in Photoshop it's called File > Save for Web. A typical background image that repeats horizontally and vertically on screen should have a filesize of around 10-20 KB.

Background images in fluid grid layouts Dreamweaver CS6

How can I get a background image png or jpg original size 1040w by 840h to scale down in the tablet and mobile layouts in Dreamweaver CS6 fluid grid layout?

Adding one of these in your CSS should do the trick...
background-size:contain;
or
background-size:cover;
Depending on the layout of your background image, one may work better than the other.

Basic ASP doesn't work in Dreamweaver

I have just created a login page for my website using the
login server behavior in Dreamweaver MX and although works fine
locally when i upload to my webhost all i get is an error page
which is very unhelpful. When I ask the support team why this is
they say they don't support asp and cannot help. So frustrated I
thought the problem must lie at their end as the only thing I have
changed is the connection string to point to my database on their
server.
However after trying some really basic asp I find it doesn't
work in dreamweaver but does work on the server. Can anyone tell me
why this is. The basic code was the following:
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<P>TEST TO SEE IF VBSCRIPT IS WORKING ON SERVER. DATE
IS
<script language="VBScript">

</script>
</body>
</html>

> document.write(date)
This is javascript, not VBScript.
> <script language="VBScript">
This ain't gonna work ever.

WP Greek Century in Mac doesn't work with Dreamweaver

I am a many year PC user and have finally made the leap too Mac and its another learning curve .. That said, in Dreamweaver and in Mac, WP Greek Century does not work! I have reloaded the font and all I see is the alpha #.   If I load it into any browser, it still will not read greek. My old PC didn't have a problem with this. Some of the download sites say that this font, WP Greek Century, works with both PC and Mac. The one odd spin to all this is that this greek font works in Fireworks ... Is there anything I can do to make it work in Dreamweaver? Please advise and thanks. Mark
ps. I called Apple support and they could not help.

Thanks for your reply and I was afraid that this might the answer. Looks
like I'm going to have to go back and fix a bunch of documents. Appreciate
your help in this matter. Mark

Fonts don't work on the web like they do in print. Any font you use on a
website will require that the end user have that same font installed on
their system.
I did try to load that font from a free source (assuming this is how you
got it). It is a PC TrueType and doesn't appear to work at all on the
Mac. Now if you are looking for just a few characters you can code this
into the HTML:
http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/bylanguage/greekchart
.html . As far as other fonts, this greek font seems to work on Mac:
http://www.dafont.com/ancient-geek.font . But again, it's not a web-font
so you won't be legally allowed to use it on web pages, and it will only
work if the end user has that font installed on their system, unlike the
HTML entities previously linked.

Background image doesn't preview in browser

Is there something I'm not understanding about my Dreamweaver
Site settings? I'm trying to code a site using CSS which has a
background image in a div but it won't preview in the browser. When
the file is linked to an external style sheet, it displays in
Dreamweaver's design view but not Preview in browser. But when the
styles are included in the file itself, it works. It's a dynamic
site configured for PHP MySQL. Everything in the style sheet seems
to be working except this. I've tried site relative and document
relative links. I even tried posting the image to a live server and
linking it with an absolute url.
Here is the path structure:
BambooJewelry/index.php
BambooJewelry/cw3/assets/css/bamboo.css
BambooJewelry/cw3/assets/images/home/logo.gif
Here is the code in the css file:
div#logo {
background-image: url(../images/home/logo.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 700px;
height: 73px;
Here is the syntax for the linked style sheet in the
index.php file:
<link href="cw3/assets/css/bamboo.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css">
As to the site settings, the local root folder is
Macintosh HD:Library:WebServer:Documents:BambooJewelry:
the http: address is set to
http://localhost/BambooJewelry/
Any help with this is sincerely welcomed!

make sure you're not overriding that rule somewhere else in
your site or farther down the style sheet or with a more specific
rule. Rules directly in a page are given more importance than rules
in an external sheet.

Image Preview not working in Dreamweaver CC

I recently switched from Dreamweaver CS5 to Dreamweaver CC and my images don't preview in Dreamweaver CC interface "Design" mode/tab at all. My images are hosted at an Adobe Scene7 URL that I know the image path is correct because it works when I preview using the image path URL.
I need to get these images to preview in Dreamweaver so that I can ad hotspot areas to them and also visualize what it looks like before making web pages live.

DW should automatically show you those files in Design View.
Unless you are using a firewall, that should not be checked. If you have not defined a site yet, that would never have come up to be checked.
Does View > Refresh Design View (F5) do anything for you?
What happens when you switch to Live View on the page(s) in question?

LinkListExplorer iview BackGround Image path not working

Hi Vedant,
APEX only replaces the #WORKSPACE_IMAGES# variable within APEX itself. This is quite logical, because what you see in the APEX developer space is generated by PL/SQL from the database, so APEX can change what it wants. APEX can't access the files however, that's logical to because APEX would need premissions on the server and an Oracle directoryto start doing changes to files.
So if you want to point to the image directory in the CSS file you need to provide the full path.
Regards,
Joni

Inserting dynamic image doesn't work for range of records

Hi,
I'm using BI Publisher 5.6.3 and E-business Suite 12.1.3.
I have set up my RTF template so that it brings in a logo image dynamically onto an invoice.
The code in the "alt text" field behind my dummy image is: url:{concat('${OA_MEDIA}/',//CF_LOGO)}
The image is within a repeating loop that loops around the invoices chosen.
It works fine if I run the concurrent request for a single invoice - the correct logo image is shown.
However if I run the concurrent request for a range of invoices which should contain a mixture of both logos it doesn't work and prints the same logo for each invoice regardless of what it should be displaying.
For testing purposes I also output the name of the image, field CF_LOGO (which is calculated in a formula in the RDF file) just before the actual image, and this always displays the correct value even for a range of invoices. As you can see above this is the field that I include in the code to obtain the image.
Does anyone have any idea why a range of invoices will only display one logo image?
Many thanks for any suggestions.
Regards,
Hazel

Itemrenderer with images doesn't work correctly if variableRowHeight="true"?

Hi all,
I have a problem to use itemrenderer in my project:
I have to show some images in one of my DataGridColumn:
<mx:DataGridColumn id="datasetcolumn" headerText="DataSet"
dataField="dataSetList"
width="240"itemRenderer="DataSetRenderer"/>
The dataSetList is an arraycollection of images;
I use Tile as the itemrederer, My DataSetRenderer is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Tile xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
horizontalScrollPolicy="off" width="90%" height="100%" >
<mx:Metadata>
[Event(name="showCaddwgNOVWebDataset",
type="flash.events.Event")]
</mx:Metadata>

toolTip="{myrep.currentItem.itName}"/>
</mx:Repeater>
</mx:Tile>
The problem is:
Whenever you change the column size or scroll down the
datagrid,
the images will be added again.
if the datasetlist is changed the old images doesn't clean up
and
all the images messed up
Any suggestion is appretiated!
Thanks in advance

I loved Ben's suggestion because it promised to be a low-effort workaround, but, alas, I get the same problem: "lvlib is already loaded from this path...".
I tried Olivia's workaround for CAR 124214. It worked great for the simple lvproj that is posted above. (Hooray!) It didn't work so well in my real project, that has about 30 lvlibs and lvclasses. About 3/4 of the way through the save, I got a compiler error and LabView crashed. (Boo!) I submitted the crash log on this, but it's hard to imagine how anyone in R&D could make any progress debugging this without the source code. (And I can't submit the source because I can't export a copy of it!)
Anyway, thank you very much Ben and Olivia for your suggestions. I have lvclasses embedded in lvlibs (primarily for organizational reasons) and since LabView tanked while saving one of those, perhaps the workaround doesn't work in this case. I may try again after removing the lvclasses from the lvlibs so that the hierarchy is flatter.

JTabbedPane background color doesn't work in Win XP - SP 1 with JRE 1.4.2

Setting background color for JTabbedPane doesn't
work in "Windows XP with SP 1" when using JRE 1.4.2.
For example, following call doesn't set the
tab to green:
tabbedPane.setBackgroundAt(0, Color.green);
It always displays TABS with the white background.
Is anybody aware of this problem?
Thanks-in-advance for any help / suggestions!

Does ne1 now the html code to set a background image=non repeat, center for dreamweaver or where to find it?

Im trying to set up an about me page like that of myspace.com
i know that in myspace you can set the background image center non
repeat can this be done as will with dreamweaver?

Hello,
Yes, it can be done using CSS.
You can place this in your code, right before </head>.
Just substitute your image for mypicture.jpg.
<style type="text/css">

</style>
-OR-
You can also do this using DW's dialog boxes (like a wizard).
If you have DW8 or CS3...or MX2004 if memory serves, you can
right click on
your page in design view.
Select CSS Styles > New
A CSS Rule dialog box opens.
Select tag, then in the tag box, type body.
You can select whether you want to add the CSS to this page
(like the code
above) or to a stylesheet linked to this page. If you are
going to use CSS
on multiple pages, it's a good idea to use a stylesheet. Then
you can make
changes in one place that affects all the pages linked to
that stylesheet.
When you click OK, a new box will open where you can define
your CSS.
Select "background" from the sidebar, and the fill in areas
are pretty self
explanatory.
I hope that helps.
Take care,
Tim

Clickable image doesn' t work in the table

Hi all,
Our Visual Composer has been upgraded to sps12. And when I add an image to a form and assign it a hyperlink action, it does work well. But when I add an image column to a table and assign it the similar hyperlink action, it doesn't work. Does anybody know why?
Thanks and regards,
Dicky

Hi Dicky,
I checked it on our system, which is also on SPS12 and it works. I think your problem is, that you didn't click exact on picture. Not the whole cell is clickable for opening an URL. A solution might be to use a bigger picture, but when your user resize the column, then there could be another space which is not clickable.
Another workaorund could be to use the fit size function of the image, but this cause a deformed picture and I also noticed that this function didn't work correctly.
I will forward a link to this thread to Luis, who works for SAP in the VC QA.
I hope he could solve this issue.
Best Regards,
Marcel

Changed Lion Login Background Image No Longer Works

Following instructions posted in various communities, I was able to substitute my own image for the dull gray Lion login background image (replacing the file NSTexturedFullScreenBackgroundColor.png). But since upgrading to OS X 10.7.4 the other day, the login image has reverted back to the standard Lion image, even though my substituted file is still in the folder /System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/Resources.
Anybody figure out a fix?
Thanks.

My menu background images are not working in IE

Hi,
I've tested my site on multiple browsers and everything seems fine, apart from IE - which only displays the menu's background image when the user is on that current page. Can anyone help me out, please?
Thanks in advance.
http://millennium-blinds.co.uk/

I'm not sure but I did find two things you should change:
In your html change:
<li><a href="index.html">home</a></li>
to
<li><a href="/">home</a></li>
And in your CSS add this:
html { height:101%; overflow:scroll; }
That will force a vertical scroll bar and keep the shorter pages from jumping around.

CS4 background-image doesn't show in browser

ok...I have cs4...
the CSS is:
body {
    background-image: url(/Assets/qlogoBKGlt.gif);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-color: #fff;
IT SHOWS UP in the DESIGN window of DW. It won't show up in Firefox or Safari...most up-to-date versions.
The line of code in the html file is:
<body>
The header code;
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/style.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.gif" type="image/gif" / >
* Proof that the background image is there:
http://www.solterrasolarcells.com/staging/Assets/qlogoBKGlt.gif
* THE HTML page that should be displaying this:
http://www.solterrasolarcells.com/staging/index.html
* The CSS STYLE SHEET:

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks, -bill

The path in the CSS is wrong.
You're thinking that the index.html file is in the root directory of this beta site hence the root relative reference in the CSS.
However, as far as the server is concerned, the root directory (where the index file is located) of this beta site is in a subfolder called "staging".
http://www.solterrasolarcells.com/staging/index.html
The CSS in the body selector for the background is pointing to /Assets/qlogoBKGlt.gif.
The full address of that path is http://www.solterrasolarcells.com/Assets/qlogoBKGlt.gif but the Assets folder does not exist at root level on the server, hence no image appears.
So for a root-relative path, you need to prefix the CSS with the "staging" folder
i.e.
body {
    background-image: url(/staging/Assets/qlogoBKGlt.gif);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-color: #fff;
or for a document-relative path from the "styles" folder where the CSS file is located, go up a level:
body {
    background-image: url(../Assets/qlogoBKGlt.gif);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-color: #fff;
When the site goes live, the "staging" folder will presumably disappear (all files will come up a level) and therefore any root relative links will have to be altered to reflect that.
