Browser background colour and page background colour

On one entry page of my blog, the browser background colour is over-riding the page background gradient colours. I've tried remaking the entry page by duplicating another entry page, but this still happens on just this one page.
Hoping someone will be able to work out why...?

Thank you. It's http://www.noteworthy-women.co.uk/
The page in question is the 29 September entry for the blog page ('rehearsal notes'). This was on the 'Choir Members Only' site, but I've moved it to the 'public pages' site for this discussion. I can leave it there only overnight (British time).
Thanks again.

FB has changed colours, but only when viewed in Firefox Browser. Why and how to fix?

There appears to be something going on between the FB webpage and Firefox web browser. On my page it comes up with a pink background instead of the usual grey. Also posts that are linked to outside FB sometimes end up turning various shades - green, yellow and red. I have also reported this to FB. It only occurs in Firefox and FB appears normal in all other browsers. I have not manipulated the screen shots in anyway. It goes away for a bit when I refresh. Any link I share that has this odd colouring remains that colour once shared. Here's hoping you can find out what is going on. And for some reason the images won't attach to this report/question. The files aren't that big either.

hello Sharon_Knits, please go through the steps covered in [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]] - they should contain the most common solutions for the issue you've described...

Browser background showing at bottom of page

Hi all,
all the pages on my site (still under construction) measure 700pxW x 480pxW. The browser background is a different colour to the content, but on all pages except the home page the content goes from top to bottom, which is how I want it.
On the home page, the background is showing at the bottom of the page when the content should be going, like the other pages, from top to bottom.
Any ideas?

We can tell more about the problem if we can visit the site to examine it first hand. Otherwise, a guess would be to put an empty text box on the page and drag it down far enough so the footer is lowered to the point where the page content is below the lower edge of the screen. Or increase the page height in the Inspector/Page/Layout pane beyond the 480 size. Maybe more like 800.

How do I make a background browser photo be full page, not tile format.

I want to make my pages more dynamic by adding a browser background photo come up as a full page and not as a repeating tile format. In iWeb'08 help, they say a pop up menu will appear where I can specify dimensions of the photo and, yet, it doesn't. If it makes a difference, I am using iWeb's template called 'Watercolors'.
Anybody know how I can do that?
Thank you in advance for your help...

GG ~ You're welcome. On a related note, according to design professionals, empty space is important:
One of the biggest mistakes typical business people make with documents is going out of their way to seemingly use every centimeter of space on a page, filling it up with text, boxes, clip art, charts, footers, etc. Space, often called "white space," is good. Embrace it. Use it. Often, the more space you don't use on a page, the clearer your message becomes.
Empty space is beautiful, yes. But empty space also implies importance, elegance, professionalism. This is true with graphic design, but you can see the importance of space (both visual and physical) in the context of interior design. Think of the retail space, for example. Target is dedicated to design although they are a discounter. They know about space. Target stores are well designed. They have more empty space than other discounters, Walmart, for example.

Drop Shadow of Page on Browser background

I see how I can change the color of the browser background, but is it possible to have a drop shadow effect where the page ends and the browser background begins?
Thanks, Leslie

lnicole - This can be done with a trick.
You know how to make the page background match the browser background. To give the Page a shadowed look, you need to enlarge your page a little more than the shadow you want. Next, you must place a rectangular graphic the size of your original page on top of the Page and in the background of everything you have on the page (i.e. send it to the back). Make this large graphic the same color as your Page and Browser, and then give it the shadow you want.
The result on the published page in your browser is a shadowed background, seemingly for the entire page.
I hope I’ve explained this clearly enough. -Fabe

Page/browser background issue

You still can't beat iWeb for ease of use, though it does have its limitations, for instance: I want to have my page background and browser background be the same color. No problem, except I am still left with a thin outline of the page background (set to 1024 x 768 px) when setting the page background to None. Any idea of how to get rid of that outline so that one sees a continous background where the page size is implied but not actually seen? Does anyone have a suggestion for an iWeb replacement if this is not doable?

This image that illustrates the problem:

Left justify pages within browser background

How can I left justify my web pages within the browser background? All the iWeb templates that I have seen are center justified, and I cannot find a way to change the justification.

There is no tool in iWeb that will do it at the click of a button.
If you lasso all of your elements you can move them to the left hand side of the page. Either by dragging or by using the cursor keys, (holding the shift key makes each cursor key press 10 pixels instead of one).
Then you can left justify the text in each element by using, Inspector>Text Tab>Text - Color & Alignment.

2 out of 6 pages not loading browser background image

Does anyone know why out of 6 pages on my website, only 2 of them are not loading the choosen browser background image? All other pages load them in when uploaded to the site online. They appear to be correct in iWeb before publishing.
Once they are published, it is just white. If I select a color instead of the image, the color displays. Thoughts?

One more question. I know that when you publish your
site to a non .mac acct, the podcasting code needs to
be changed. Can someone help me out with that? You
click the subsribe button and it launches iTunes, but
then it errors out. Thoughts?
Your RSS URL is invalid: http://www.onetvshow.com/ONE/our%20podcast/rss.xml
www.onetvshow.com is not listed with WHOIS.
Does anyone know of a free/cheap program I can use to
edit some of the code. I need to insert some form
mail code and then also for the podcast code edits.
You are asking the wrong guy if it repetitive and on going basis, I say AppleScript

I hate macbook air. in keynote and pages -inversion colours. cannot change it.

in keynote and pages the project is viewed in inversion colours. cannot change it to show in origin. so, cannot create effective ppt or pages.
I use it on Macbook air. trial version. (i cannot buy it as i am a foreigner and work in China. no visa card and cannot open it as in china for foreigners they do not open).
i am really tired. already 3 days trying to create a normal ppt but its preview is shown in inversion colors. i tried to push every bottom and every option in the menu - no option to change preview on origin color style. as a result - no ppt and no pages. i start to hate macbook as i still keep dependent on my laptop with microsoft windows.
i took a trial version of iwork as i need to use excel, pages and ppt along for my work. realy hate macbook as it makes me limited.

I downloaded an instalation file of a trial version. found it in google. it looks like very official and has references on appstore along. I did not update Iwork as it didn't require any updates.
PS. yes, cannot use pages and keynote on my macbook air.

Did you update iWork after you installed it? It is now at version 4.3 and it sounds like you have an older version, not updated for the Retina display.

Black browser background results in black field ot top of some of the pages

Even if top margin is set to zero, a black field is appearing on top of some of my pages. This field may vary in size.
Examples:
Compare:
http://www.uib.no/people/mbloh/Velkommen.html
to:
http://www.uib.no/people/mbloh/Cave.html
Or go to the archive (arkiv) on the blog (Tidende), and have a look at the older postings. The error seem to accumulate over time.
The only way to fix this is to make a new page, and then copy the content from the erratic page over to this, and delete the old one. Then everything looks fine for a while, before it may again start to show this erratic behaviour.
The template I've used is the White one.
What could be causing this?
Regards,
Ole Horvli

Ole Horvli,
This effect may have something to do with the "Content Height" that is set in the Inspector Page tab. The Content Height is usually set to some number like 500 by default. You can see exactly where this limit is if you select under the View menu "Show Layout". You will see the Footer which is at the bottom of the page and the the next adjacent space is the "Content" space. As you adjust this number, the Content bar will move.
Usually, the Content space is dynamic....As you add content or text or whatever, you will see the Footer content automatically move down...Try dragging a text box down your page and you will see the effect. But once you get your page set the way it is going to be, I would suggest that you adjust the value for "Content Height" such that it actually "fits" the content that is present. This will eliminate the variability of browser display when you publish the page...In effect you are "reserving" the entire space leaving no room for browser adjustment. If we all had huge vertical monitors, you could see the effect as you dragged the browser window larger and larger vertically.

Question for Varkgirl re: browser backgrounds in iWeb

Hi Varkgirl
Been checking out your iWeb FAQ site (if anyone needs iWeb help, your first port of call needs to be http://web.mac.com/varkgirl/iWeb/iWebFAQ/FAQ%20Home/FAQ%20Home.html), loving your work hun!
Just a quick question - how did you get the browser background? The standard options in the Page Inspector only seem to be colours.
Many thanks!

I think varkgirl is asleep over there in the EST timezone...so I hope she doesn't mind me jumping in here....
Are you talking about the striped background? It's the standard browser background for the "Notebook" theme. If you want to use it you can select the blank template and get rid of the header and footer images.
You can also just take this image.... and use it to tile any other template page of your choosing....

Just look in the Inspector Page tab and under either Page or Browser background, select image and then tile.

Transparent Browser background

Hello,
I'd like to know if there is someway to make the browser background transparent as iWeb only has options for a picture or colour for this aspect of a page. (ie a way to change/hack the template...or from within program or something)
I have tried a transparent pic...but that doesn't work...
The iWeb page is in an iframe, and needs to be transparent to look right.
I can do this by manually changing the final .html file...but this is annoying, especially as it has to be done every time the site is updated...
Thanks

Changing the HTML file is the only way, I think. But you wouldn't have to change the HTML file every time if you "Publish Site Changes" instead of "Publish Entire Site"

Browser Background Color Not Drawing Completely

On the web page I recently uploaded, the page does not draw the browser background color completely when it loads. The browser background color fills in to the bottom of the sized page, below there it is white.
1. Modern Frame 2.0 - Blank
2. Set Browser Background color to Blue
3. Page background color either the same Blue or none at all. I've tested both ways.
4. Manual resize always allows the browser background color to fill in properly.
5. Footer on and off. Doesn't make a difference.
After uploading to the web, clearing all my caches, it continues to fill in incompletely.
What do you suggest I do to solve this?
Thank you - Fabe

Give us the URL for the site so we can examine it first hand. With out looking at the site you should change the theme to White theme which does not use files for background and therefore will not restrict the amount of space the background takes up. That's just a guess though.

Slow-loading browser background

Good morning. I am attempting to create a website based on a booklet I published 25 years ago. The scanned pages of the actual booklet are my page background. Each page has an original photograph constituting the browser background.
When viewing the site with Safari, Firefox, or Camino, the scanned pages load almost instantaneously, but the browser backgrounds, which I have reduced to 72 dpi using PhotoStudio, take between 5 and maybe 15 seconds to load. Is this normal? Is there a way to shorten the loading time?
The address is http://web.mac.com/henrysummers/APinchofHistory,aDashofLegend.

I use ImageWell to reduce image size as it gives you a visual indication of the reduction in download time as you move the slider. It saves a lot of time in getting the compromise between quality and speed.

Change Browser Background Color with Image Fill

I inserted a picture using 'Image Fill' and 'Original Size' under Browser Background in the Page Layout tab and the browser background, I assume, defaults to white.
I need the browser background to be a standard black color with an Image Fill. I searched around the iWeb preferences and tabs but found no option...
Many thanks in advance!
Alex

The only way to get a black browser background is to set it to black. If you tile the photo there will be not browser background or make the image large enough so that it would take a very large browser window to exceed the photo's size. Or create a very large canvas with the photo in it at its original size and the rest of the area black.
