Background image issues

Hi everyone
I am having a background issue with my website www.rochdalerostrum.com.
on my MAC i have no problem and can see the black text on a gray background, with any other browser i cant see the gray background and am stuck with the black text on a black background :-/
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Danny

When I try to view content.gif I get a Fire Fox text error "the image http://http://www.rochdalerostrum.com/images/content.gif cannot be displayed because it contains errors". When I download it, Photoshop won't open it, the specific error is "Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file".
Aside from the errors Murray points out in the HTML validator, you'll need to fix that file as well.

  • OS 10.4.4, iLife 6 and Background images issue

    I upgraded my Mac from 10.4.3 to 10.4.4 (with Automatic Updates) and the same day purchased and installed the iLife 6.0 package (that updated the 5.x version that came with my Mac).
    A day or 2 later I decided to change the background photos on my displays. I had been using photos from my iPhoto library and as I scrolled around looking for appropriate pictures and trying them out System Preferences quit on me. I had to restart in order to bring back the ability to alter the background images. Other programs and operations remained unaffected but I was unable to bring up the "Change Background Image" option on the contextaul menu until I restarted the computer. iPhoto was not running at the time. I restarted the computer and the same issue cropped up several more times, always after scrolling thru and trying several images.
    These problems never occurred with 10.4.3 or before or iPhoto 5 or before. I don't know if the problem is with iPhoto or not, but I assume that there is interaction between System Preferences and iPhoto, or at least that System Preferences uses the iPhoto database files.
    Any ideas?
    TIA!

  • CSS Background Image issue in IE(6)

    Not sure what's causing this, but I basically have an image
    to create faux columns across my page, but the background image
    isn't extending to the bottom of the page in IE (6) as it is
    correctly in safari and firefox.
    The page is here :

    The relevant CSS is :

  • Background image displays locally in HTML5 template but not when published

    I have used an excellent HTML5 template which uses JavaScript to display background images. However while this file works locally it doesn't when published. The site structure is sound and I notice this happens with the source files I downloaded also so it's nothing I have done in my build which could have caused this.
    This is the link to my site, everything is fine except the background image not showing.
    http://www.khawkinsdesign.com
    Any ideas, as I say fine locally, not fine when published?
    Message was edited by: Kyle Hawkins

    Hi Kyle,
    I realise you posted your question a couple of days ago but it looks like your background image issue may now be fixed?
    In any case, your site has a few issues. Not sure who told you the template was HTML 5 but they might be yanking your chain. There is nothing HTML 5 about the code used and the DOCTYPE is from HTML 4. As such, some of the code you have used is throwing up errors - some related to the DOCTYPE and some where you haven't closed the tags:
    http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.khawkinsdesign.com%2F&charset=%28detect +automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
    <ul id="footer-nav">
    <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="portfolio.html">Portfolio</a></li>
    <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li> /*The closing tag is missing in your code */
    <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li> /*The closing tag is missing in your code */
    </ul>
    It would be best to amend the errors but some might disappear when you add the HTML 5 DOCTYPE in to your code. Things like your lack of "type" on the sources is a required v4 attribute, but not in v5.
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    Have a read through this for more info - this is a great resource for everything HTML 5. http://diveintohtml5.info/
    Rik
    EDIT:// It seems that the DOCTYPE is the 5 version on all but the home page so you may only have one to correct. However, there are still no HTML 5 elements used to take advantage of the new DOCTYPE.

  • Weird issue with background image (Safari)

    Just wonder if anyone can shed any light on this one....
    Basically have a design in progress here:
    http://www.hpwebdesign.co.uk/rachelworrall/index101.php
    All was fine until I added the three images that fade into one another using the Ultimate Fade In slideshow script ( http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/fadeinslideshow.htm )
    When the page is initially loaded in Safari (5), the top section of the background image doesn't display - it starts just beneath the main content below the navigation.
    The weird part is that it literally only takes a click of the mouse outside that Safari window to make it appear. A refresh, however, won't.
    It seems fine in Firefox on a Mac, and the client didn't report any issue in IE.
    Can anyone with Safari have a quick look and replicate that glitch? If not, then it might just be some weird local issue here.
    Many thanks.

    I've put up a couple of screenshots here:
    http://www.hpwebdesign.co.uk/rachelworrall/screenshots.htm
    Its like that in Safari 5.0.3 (and 5.0.4 which I've just updated.)
    Again, it literally just needs a click out of the Safari window to make it appear correctly as per the second screenshot.
    Its like this on a 27" iMac, but had a look on the macbook, and its fine on there.
    So if it looks OK with anyone else, I'm just going to put it down to a weird glitch on my machine here.

  • Background Image Centering and Display issues in Internet Explorer--affecting home page only??

    Hi--my web site is www.vergent.net, and for some reason, the background image will not center in Internet Explorer, but I'm having this issue only on the home page. (And only in IE. I am looking at it on IE 9). I've tried a number of workarounds, and nothing is working. Strangely, the same Master applied to other pages looks fine.
    Please help!
    A few more details:
    The background image is placed into the Master page via the "browser fill" method.  I tried a workaround where I just paste the background image directly onto the page and then placed content over that. However, IE doesn't seem to read the z-index information correctly. The result is that the background image winds up on top of all the content in IE using this method.
    Any help will be most appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jennifer

    PS, I have temporarily resolved this problem by uncentering the content and just pinning everything flush to the left.

  • Background image seems to be applied twice Can someone help with this CSS issue....

    Can someone help with this CSS issue....
    http://66.162.81.144/cms400min/default.aspx
    If you view the main page you will see that our background is
    2 shades of
    orange.. if you look at the line that divides those colors to
    the right and
    left you wil notice that the line is higher
    if you notice that it seems that there is another background
    on top of the
    first one..its the only thing i can think of..
    the only place where the image is being referenced is in this
    CSS style
    html, body
    min-height:100%;
    margin-bottom:1px;
    text-align:center;
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
    background-image:url(images/Background-Color2.jpg);
    background-color:#F74902;
    background-position:center;
    background-attachment:fixed;
    Is there something wrong with the above CSS that could or
    would cause this?
    is it because im applying the image to both the HTML and
    BODY?
    ASP, SQL2005, DW8 VBScript, Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio
    2008

    You've attached the background to both the html and the body.
    I would do this:
    html, body {
    min-height:100%;
    margin-bottom:1px;
    body{
    text-align:center;
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
    background-image:url(images/Background-Color2.jpg);
    background-color:#F74902;
    background-position:center;
    background-attachment:fixed;
    Having said that the image doesn't look any higher on the
    right than the
    left to me in Firefox. Is it just an optical illusion?

  • Why am I having issues with the background image here?

    body {
        text-align:left;
        font-family:Tahoma, Geneva, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;

        padding:0;
    * html body {
        overflow:hidden;
    * html div#content {

        height:100%;
        margin:0 0 0 449px;
        background:url(/images/colBg2.png) repeat-y top;
        z-index:600;
    table#colText {
        height:100%;
        width:433px;
        text-align:left;
        z-index:700;
    <div id="colBg2">
      <div id="colText">
          <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat. Ut wisi enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper suscipit lobortis nisl ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

      </div>
    </div>
    What this is supposed to do is show background image colBg2.png as a column extending from the top of the viewport to the bottom, whether there's enough text to fill it or not. If it doesn't, then it shouldn't produce a scrollbar. It uses 100% vertical height hacks, as demonstrated in the code above.
    When there's more text than the viewport can handle, there's a scrollbar, and the colBg2 successfully scrolls along with the text contained in colText. HOWEVER... when that background scrolls upwards so we can go down the page, it stops tiling. It stops wherever the viewport ends.
    If I stretch the window to reveal more of the column, no problem. It tiles just fine, and extends all the way to the end of the screen. But not if I scroll down.
    Anyone know if I'm doing anything wrong with this code, or if there's an obvious fix that isn't occuring to me?

    I was just about to prepare that for you guys when I had a quick flash to try applying the background image directly to the table instead
    of a containing div. I'm sure there was a reason I used a containing div to begin with, but can't for the life of me remember why right now. I'm sure it'll hit me at some point and I'll probably be back here when it does, but so far eliminating the containing div altogether has produced the desired effect. =)

  • In linux, saving a background image (set as Desktop)feature doesnt download my image to wallpaper folder..or even to standard "Save download" feature. Can I tell firefox where (what folder) to save my "Set as Desktop" picture?

    When I find a suitable picture to use as wallpaper" I often right click and use the menu item "Set as Desktop Background". The file ""example.jpg" is saved in directory\folder "/home/user" rather than for example "/home/user/my wallpaper" or in the directory
    "/home/user/Downloads". The latter as being set under the "Downloads" section on the "General" tab in the "Preferences" dialog box.
    Is there a configuration file where I can change the default location to save my "Set as Desktop Background" images. Or better still can the menu be customized to launch the application that allows me to set my desktop wallpapers?
    I am using the "PCLinuxOS" Linux OS but I have encountered this issue in many if not all the Linux distributions I have sampled.

    Don't use "Set as Desktop". Use ''' "Save Image As..." ''' instead, and file it with your other "wallpaper" images so the operating system has access to those images.
    IIRC, Firefox saves a "desktop image" to the Profile folder, and it will only save one image, at that. Change the image and the previous one is gone.

  • How can I change the coding of a background image?

    I am close to successfully uploading my first website. My one remaining issue: one of my pages isn't showing properly. When I called my hosting service, they tell me that there is an error in the coding of the background image.
    It is currently:
    http://cashmerepersonalconcierge.com/ContactUs__files/backgroundimage1.png
    There is an extra underscore between "Us_files". It should be:
    http://cashmerepersonalconcierge.com/ContactUs_files/backgroundimage1.png
    but I have no idea how to change the coding in iWeb. Any ideas?
    Here's the full URL for the page: http://cashmerepersonalconcierge.com/ContactUs.html

    Thanks! That worked and was a fairly simple pick. Thanks for saving me hours!
    I almost have it fixed. One small remaining problem:
    My link to the "Contact Us" page isn't working from the top Nav bar. That's the one that is in the iWeb template I used. It's linking to:
    http://www.cashmerepersonalconcierge.com/ContactUs.html
    which doesn't exist.
    The nav bar at the bottom link to:
    http://www.cashmerepersonalconcierge.com/Contact_Us.html
    which works.
    Once again I see the extra space/underscore is the problem, but I can't figure out how to get to it. I resaved my folders and re-uploaed the "Contact_Us.html" page as well as all my other html pages to troubleshoot.
    Thanks!!

  • Mixed results on iPad and iPhone 6 Plus with background image. How to fix this?

    Flash Professional CC
    I'm having an issue with adding images on iPhone 6 plus and iPad. I'm getting mixed results with two items: 1) a background image and 2) a button that should appear at the bottom left-hand corner on any device. In one case the background image appears enlarged and only shows about 30% of itself. In the other case, the bottom left-hand button appears about 50 pixels to the left when x=0. I also get different results when I set the following:
    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
    stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
    This does not produce the expected results. I would like to have consistent results across iPad and iPhone 6 plus, which seams to be an issue. The immediate fix for this is to leave the images on the stage instead of using addChild. I could then just stretch the background image so that it spans the whole screen. But I want to add the items dynamically for greater flexibility.
    Here are two cases:
    Case #1:
    This an iPhone 6 plus and you should notice 2 things. 1) There is black and white on both sides. The blue background SHOULD APPEAR ACROSS THE WHOLE SCREEN. 2) The red button in the corner SHOULD APPEAR IN THE LEFT MOST CORNER OF THE
    SCREEN.
    Case #2:
    This an iPhone 6 plus and I have set the scale X, Y to the stage.stageWidth/Height:
    mc_stageBackground_Main.scaleX = stage.stageWidth;
    mc_stageBackground_Main.scaleY = stage.stageHeight;
    This results in a close up of the background image.
    Here is the code that I'm using:
    import com.greensock.TweenLite;
    import com.greensock.easing.*;
    import flash.display.StageAlign;
    import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
    //When this is active the background image spans across the device (iPhone 6 plus) correctly. The main logo image does not line up correctly.
    /*stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
    stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;*/
    var main_logo:MC_LOGO_MAIN = new MC_LOGO_MAIN();
    var mainBackground_2208: MC_MAIN_BACKGROUND_2208 = new MC_MAIN_BACKGROUND_2208();
    var mainBackground_1024: MC_BACKGROUND_1024 = new MC_BACKGROUND_1024();
    var mainCorner: MC_MAINCORNER = new MC_MAINCORNER();
    var chapters: MC_CHAPTERS = new MC_CHAPTERS();
    var _stageWidth = 1024;
    if (stage.stageWidth > _stageWidth)
        //Add bigger background if the stage is bigger than 1024
        mainBackground_2208.x = stage.stageWidth/2;
        mainBackground_2208.y = stage.stageHeight/2;
        addChild(mainBackground_2208);
        //Using this code results in a very close up view of the stage on iPhone 6 plus  
        /*mc_stageBackground_Main.scaleX = stage.stageWidth;
        mc_stageBackground_Main.scaleY = stage.stageHeight;*/
        //Adds corner to the main screen.
        mainCorner.y = stage.stageHeight;
        mainCorner.x = (stage.stageWidth - stage.stageWidth);
        addChild(mainCorner);
        TweenLite.from(mainCorner, 1,{ height: 0, width: 0, delay:1, ease:Elastic.easeOut});
        //add logo to sit at 50 pixels from the top of the stage
        /*main_logo.x = stage.stageWidth/2;
        main_logo.y = (stage.stageHeight -stage.stageHeight + main_logo.height *.6);
        addChild(main_logo);
        TweenLite.from(main_logo, 1,{ y: -main_logo.height, ease:Elastic.easeOut});*/
    else
        trace ("The stage is 1024 or smaller");
        //Add 1024 background if stage is 1024 or smaller
        mainBackground_1024.x = stage.stageWidth/2;
        mainBackground_1024.y = stage.stageHeight/2;
        addChild(mainBackground_1024);
        //Adds corner to the main screen.
        mainCorner.y = stage.stageHeight;
        mainCorner.x = (stage.stageWidth - stage.stageWidth);
        addChild (mainCorner);
        TweenLite.from(mainCorner, 1,{ height: 0, width: 0, delay:1, ease:Elastic.easeOut});
        //adds chapters
        chapters.x = (stage.stageWidth - stage.stageWidth)+75;
        chapters.y = stage.stageHeight - 120;
        addChild(chapters);
        TweenLite.from(chapters, 1,{ height: 0, delay:.5, ease:Elastic.easeOut});  
        //adds the Main logo to sit at 50 pixels from the top of the stage
        main_logo.x = stage.stageWidth/2;
        main_logo.y = (stage.stageHeight -stage.stageHeight + main_logo.height *.6);
        addChild(main_logo);
        TweenLite.from(main_logo, 1,{ y: -main_logo.height, ease:Elastic.easeOut});

    On all of the devices go to settings - facetime - iphone cellular calls - oFF, this part of Apple continuity.

  • Need help brainstorming a tricky IMAGE issue

    Hi,
    I've been trying to figure out a simple way around an issue, but as i simply cannot come up with an answer, i thought I'd put it out to the community to see if i can get some ideas back.
    I'm putting a Mobile game together, and I'm still establishing the foundations of it. One element is the idea of having all creatures and character to be able to look different. To this end, my proposal is to have a set of various frames of say different creatures, and with other items (like armour and weapons) in matching poses. For example, You would have say a person running in 4 frames. For each frame, there is a matching set of clothes frames for each pose. One coule be normal clothes, and another armour so when the character is wearing normal clothes, the system would draw to the screen the naked character and then place the clothes over the top. Proper transparency (using the PNG alpha channel) makes this masking effect work as it should and it seems to work okay here.
    Here is the problem. What i want to do is to be able to represent say, a hiding creature as being partially transparent wether through alpha blending or dithering. I have put an efficient class together than can quickly resize and recolour any image and draw it to the screen, and can also modify the transparency via either alpha blending or dithering. Here is the issue: This will NOT work when building the characters onto the screen! the problem if no-one notices here is lets say you then make the system draw the person at 50% opacity to the screen.Great, it works, but now we need to put the clothers on top so we draw THAT at 50% transparency. Uh-oh... Because the clothers are transparent, we get an artifact of the naked character shining through the clothers we just placed on top. So, the solution WOULD be simple: create an offscreen image for buffering, draw the character to it, then draw the results to the screen at 50% opacity... WRONG. The only Mutable off-screen image you can make is one filled with white pixels! Useless: we get an ugly white box around the character.
    The only two solutions i can think of are the following:
    1) Take a snapshot of the box around where we intend to draw the character. This should capture the background. We now build the character onto the screen as we normally would but if we want to make them transparent, we then paste the original background image over the top at a sertain opacity. I see problems with this being a) The design on the game is already very lean on memory requirements. I have built my own image handling classes that only load stuff when needed and discards it when no longer needed and also block wasteful reloading of images into memory, but having to always take a snapshot of a box around a character prior to drawing will slow it all down immensly.
    2) the class i use for transformations, recolouring and resizing does so by copying the image data into an array and then manipulating it. I've designed it very well so that it only ever holds one image at a time and loading a new image into it uses the same array and thus, never creates a new array in memory and then relying on the Garbage collector to reclaim it. Using this, i could render the characters to it, and then draw it to screen but the problem as i see it is that this would be very processor intensive and would most likely slow the entire system down.
    Naturally, the ideal solution is to draw to an offscreen image buffer and go from there, but i think the only way to do that is to use the BufferedImage which is on an API that isn't widely available (at least, it's not on my phone and it is pretty new). I need this to be as compatible as possible, so i don't want to access any optional API's i don't need to. I would prefer to be able to do this transparency trick, but if i can't, i guess i would have to find another way to represent a hiding character in the game (I guess a Black silouette).
    Any help, hints or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    Okay, imagine you have a character running. The whole purpose of my design idea is to have it so the characters look different based on the gear they are equipped with (+Image a common game like Neverwinter nights, or WoW. Your character looks different based on what they are equipped with and no, I am not trying to create a game of that scale on a Mobile phone+). Naturally, the character isn't a static figure, so they move, run, attack and so fourth. My plan is to have a set of character frames in all the different frames, and matching clothes and equipment frames matching each cell (+we KNOW where their arm will be in the 2nd frame of a run-right action, so we would position say, a shield in the right spot. A clever appraoch is to be taken here for example, a right handed person would weild their shield in their left hand, and if they are running right, the shield would appear behind them and would be facing out, so the system would draw it in the order of "Left_Hand_Item->Character_in_the_Nude->Clothes_for_the_Character->Right_Hand_Item". Simple mirroring can handle any left/right directions as the frames for running in the different directions are also mirrored+). Essentially, the look of the character would need to be built on a per-frame basis. I am hessitant to build all of the frames of the character in memory at load time as I have the following action factors:
    - The character can face in 8 directions being all the diagonals, Vertical and horizontal directions.
    - The character needs the following actions to be available: Running, Standing, Dying -> On the ground (+This also counts falling down or sleeping+), Attacking / Swinging, Ranged attacks (+bow and arrow+).
    - To at least offer some kind or animateable look, there should be at least 2 frames for each action.
    As you can see, there is quite a lot. The approach i have already taken is fairly powerful. I decided to scrap the Java Sprites as it couldn't do what i needed it to do so i created my own caching system. A special MAP file stores the information on all the frames, and another class retrieves this on demand from the file, but only takes certain chunks. A initial class manages file access and loads the entire image into memory, and another uses this class to extract the frame it wants. When the other class is finished, the file-opening class then drops the full file from memory and attempts to reclaim the used memory. So far, it works well. The reason i have taken this appraoch is there is just too much data to have it all laoded into memory, it has to be done on demand and store as little information as possible. If i can represent 5 different characters by using a combination of other frames, i should have excellent results. I am trying to find a good balance between memory consumption and CPU usage. So, in a long winded answer:
    --There are a LOT of frames that may need to be transparent at any one time.
    --The amount of memory I'll need is still in the air at this point. As i build it, I am keeping a hawk-like eye on memory consumption and watching for anything being wasted (+using boolean where possible, If i don't need the capacity of an int, i use byte instead, etc+). This incidently ran me into the strong desire to utilize unsigned values as i don't need negatives anywhere, but I will have to live with that wasted bit.
    --I am aware that not all devices support Alpha blending which is why I also aim to support dithering. For example at 50% transparency, more than half the pixels are fully transparent (+Some may already be transparent, so we're not going to go and make them visible!)+
    --The transparent character is used to represent a character that is hiding. For example, you may have an Ally character being stealthy, so to make sure YOU the player can still see them, but represent clearly that they are in a special state, i wanted them to be transparent. Also, if there is an enemy stealthing, but you have detected them. I need to be able to represent that they have indeed been detected and that they can be seen, but they are still trying to be stealthy. So yes, one substitute would be to make them entirely black pixels and maybe even just draw the naked character black without any armour or equipment as a stealthing character would assume reduced detail.

  • How do I get rid of the thin line that goes across the top Persona background image.

    There is a 1-pixel wide light grey line across the top Persona background image between the navigation toolbar and the bookmarks toolbar from left to right. Nomatter whatever persona I have installed, it is there. Same thing also when i hover on any other Persona at Getpersonas.com. It is not there when using any other program and not when only showing the desktop. Only when using FF4. My PC is a HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop using Windows Vista. This is not a monitor issue nor a graphic card issue since it only shows in FF.

    for me, it happens on a maximized window. when i do restore to window, the line disappears.

    The Donate Page shows the correct resolution which I want displayed on all site pages.
    How do I set all other site pages to match background image resolution of the Donate Page?
    I am not sure what I am doing wrong that is changing this, or if it's possibly a bug?

    I would appreciate the assistance!
    Thank you kindly!

    I have re-uploaded my site to http://wwwtjhtestdec2012.businesscatalyst.com.
    If I set the Master page to Tile vertically that is only way I can get full screen background image of vegetables (without distortion).
    Then however another issue occurs....
    On Home Page of site I set same property to Tile and the background is better (no visible line where tiles meet---above the navigation tool bar--that is what I want for all pages associated to Master.
    So logically, I tried setting a 2nd associated site page to same master, to Tile but on Statement of Faith Page, notice the horizontal line where tiles meet, above my navigation bar on that site page?
    Why does Muse not handle both site pages associated to the same master identically?
    Any of the other options besides Tile or Tile vertically cause the background to not fill entire screen.
    Ideas?

    Hi
    The fact you are using a Mac is why both myself and JCellini assumed you where using a pre IE7 version.
    But the code you are using to test in IE will cause a problem with any 'virtual machine' such as crossover, because it cannot reference anything outside its own assigned section of the drive, and referencing the png in the way you are would be for it an invalid reference, it also would not work in any browser when you uploaded the site.
    Change - background-image:url(file:///Macintosh  HD/Users/myname/Documents/websites/test/Test/images/test_back.png);
    To - background-image:url(images/test_back.png);
    But if the region is not editable I would suggest you temporarily make it so, externalize your css to a css file, insert a link to the external css file in your head content, then lock the region once again. This way you will always be able to edit your css without worrying about 'locked regions'.
