Browser background not showing up

I FINALLY got my website (www.unyquefiretrucks.com) to load but now the browser background does not appear!!! It showed up ok when I had published to MobileMe originally.
The homepage has a diamond plate (aluminum) browser background and crosspieces on the homepage itself to divide the sections (you can see the outline of the cross pieces but they don't show up) while the rest of the pages use a background with the maltese cross (fire dept. emblem) as the broswer background (no page background used). On my 9/11 memorial pages, I used a design as the page background with a color as the browser background & that appears fine. With that in mind I am confused as to why the homepage is not showing up properly...I used a web safe color for the page background & the diamond plate (tile) for the browser background. I should mention that the homepage is 875 px wide while the rest of the pages are 980 px wide...don't think this should be an issue because it appeared ok on MobileMe but who knows...that's why I'm on these forums!!
HELP!!!! I finally got this thing to load properly so I need to get this last little tweak taken care of. If you want/need to see what the site looks like normally, the unoptimized version is still accessible at
http://web.me.com/firescueguy/UNYQUEFIRETRUCKS/uNYquefiretrucks_home.html
Should I just add the maltese cross as the page background with a web safe color for the browser background on the bulk of my pages? Still not quite sure how that will affect the homepage with the diamond plate not showing up. BTW, eliminating the diamond plate on the homepage is NOT an option, that makes the entire page IMHO.
Thanks in advance for the help, these forums have been a good source of info for me. Thanks, Tom

Old Toad, thanks for the reply...FYI, I used an optimization program called HTML Optimizer Plus that FTP's my site to the server (actually much quicker than CyberDuck IMO). While I have a 1-to-1 set up for tomorrow, I would like to pick your brain as you seem to be pretty knowledgeable judging by your numerous posts. Exactly how would I load those background .gif files? They are currently in a folder on my desktop with various backgrounds. Oddly enough, the background for the 9/11 pages loaded with no problem.
Thanks for the tip on the activity window (I did not know about that tool), that definitely gave more insight into what I was missing. I will give some thought to remove the border (will probably try it on a page or two to see how it looks first before changing the whole site).
One last thing...I had named my homepage index.html (that file still exists on the server) but the optimizer program generated the file index.html.html - if I deleted this file, would the server presumably recognize the standard index.html file?
Look forward to hearing your input. Thanks again for your help, Tom

Browser background not showing up on ipad or iphone

I have published a site and the browser background (which is an important part of my design) does not show up on my ipad or iphone when I visit the sight. I have published several websites from iweb and their browser backgrounds show up on my ipad and iphone. Have they changed the software or am I doing something wrong?

Your link, bluecollarmedia.com. does not work. Neither does www.bluecollarmedia.com. Go to your site and copy the URL from the browser's URL field and paste it in a new reply for us.

Muse 7.0 plus Chrome: browser does not show images full browser width

Hi there,
I have a serious problem with the latest Muse version: the images which I use as parallax-masks for the background won't work with Chrome, though Safari and Firefox are not showing any problems. The issue: Chrome does either not scale the images to 100% browser-width or does not show them at all, or even shows the images cut into narrow stripes. This problem did not show in the previous version of Muse.
Of course I already restarted application and computer. System: Mac OSX Mavericks.
What to do now? The presentation with the client is very soon and this bug makes me very nervous.
Best,
bartl

The problem bartl encountered and reported was fixed by the 7.1 release (November 21st). The problem you're describing sounds different.
As of yet, I'm unable to reproduce what you're describing. The URL you've provided views the same in all the browsers I've tried, Chrome (32.0.1700.77) and non-Chrome, Mac and Windows.
That said, looking at your master page I don't think you've created what you intended. At present there are two full screen slideshows on your A-master. On contains no images and the other contains a single image. Both are set to have thumbnails and the thumbnails container is off the right side of the page.
If you look at your "Master Slideshow" layer in the Layers panel, you'll see the two slideshows. I think you'll want to delete one of them and, given your design, turn off thumbnails for the remaining one.
Also, if you don't plan to have multiple images in the full screen slideshow, you'd be better off using a background fill image rather than the slideshow widget.
I remain a bit puzzled how/why you're seeing different behavior in your instance of Chrome. Have you cleared your browser cache?
On an unrelated note, if you set the page fill and stroke to none and set the browser fill to the most common color from the garage door image, it will avoid the momentary appearance of a white page on a grey background when your home page first loads. Instead the site visitor would see a blank page that's the most common color from the slideshow image, until that image loads.

Published website (i-web) will show up on PC browser but not show up on my macbook (safari)

I am in India and have used a local company to host the website i make in i-web.
I can upload changes and the updated website can be viewed on windows browser, but it is not showing on my macbook.
When i type the url (www.girifoundation.com) i see the old website, not the updated version.
If it is green at the heading on the Welcome page, with address and email details, you are looking at the updated website.
If it has beige background, no address details, you are looking at the old format
Please advise me is it
(a) my macbook ?
(b) safari ?
I will be very grateful to recieve a reply on how to correct this.

In the future try clearing your browser's cache (Command+Option+E for Safari) and reloading the site to see the most recent changes.

Media browser does not show photos

The media browser in iDvd & iWeb does not show the photos in my iPhoto library. It does show the tunes in my iTune library but not the photos in my iPhoto library. When I click photos in the browser, the browser says, "Open iPhoto2 or later or Aperature1.5 or later from your iPhoto or Aperature library in this list."
I have iPhoto6.0.6. When I made a DVD two months ago everything worked okay. I suspect that I am missing something very obvious, but to date it escapes me. Does anyone have some experience with this problem? Please help.

One thing that you can try is the often used maintenance of deleting preferences and doing a permissions repair. To delete preferences, close iMovie and iPhoto and trash the files named com.apple.iMovie.plist and com.apple.iPhoto.plist found in User (the house icon)/Library/Preferences. Then restart your computer and do a permissions repair using the Disk Utility app found in HD/Applications/Utilities. In the left hand pane of the Disk Utility window select your hard drive icon and then click on repair permissions. Takes about 3 minutes to repair. Then relaunch iMovie and iPhoto and see if you still have the problem. Those applications will recreate the .plist files that you deleted.
However, this might be an iPhoto issue, and I would suggest that you post your question in the iPhoto forum as well.
Have you updated iPhoto recently? Have you made any manual changes to your iPhoto library? Do you use keywords? Is your iPhoto library stored on an external drive where possibly iMovie can't locate it?
It could be that you just need to rebuild your iPhoto library. You can do that by holding down the Option and Apple keys while launching iPhoto. Then chose the first 3 selections in the drop down menu. But be sure first to back up your iPhoto library to guard against power outages or other probs during the rebuild process. As I say, check with the iPhoto forum if deleting preferences and repairing permissions does not work.
See if anything in this thread helps:

Using Avid Unity fiber optic server I can edit with Premiere but the volumes are not showing in the Media Browser. Ethernet volumes are showing in the Media Browser.
Ideas?

Browser background not filling

When I view my site in Safari the browser background color does not fill all the way to the bottom sometimes. There is a white space at the bottom. It seams to stop at the footer distance.
Reloading the page 2 or 3 times will get it to load all the way.
Granted, this is not a big deal but I use it for my business and it looks a bit amateurish.
Oddly enough, when I boot my iMac from windows and view it in IE there is no problem.

I see the object now. It's a grayish line, 2 pixels x 735 pixels, which is represented by either the file stroke_2.png or stroke_6.png. Check your layout, particularly the footer to see if there's an object somewhat hidden down there.
What theme are you using?

My Option window in Firefox displays only partly. I can't change the download folder. 'Browse' is not showing. And the Advanced tab is not showing either

The Option Window in Firefox is incomplete. It only shows
General, Tabs, Content, Applications, Privacy, Security, Sync
The Advanced Tab is not showing and the Browse button to change download location is missing also.

If you are using an add-on theme switch to the default theme. If that isn't the source of your problem ....
Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Destop Background Not Showing

I've had 10.5 fr a couple of months on my 15' MBP 2.3.
Suddenly today the desktop background picture is not showing. When I restart it briefly appears before shutdown. On restart it appears but as soon as the dock and menu are populated it disappears again.
When I change the background picture, I can a little of it see it transparently behind the menu bar but the main desktop is blank (white).
What have I done wrong?

With all due respect, I really think you should invest in a menu system and possibly a template. Having a bunch of rollover images and trying to align text inside them is an outdated technique. You can do much more with the Spry menus or the Project Seven menus or look up a "vertical css menu" like these: http://cssmenumaker.com/vertical_css_menu.php . As far as the template is concerned, there needs to be more colors that go together and you have to use color to draw people's attention from one place to the next. The text in the menu appears too large and there is hardly any direction with a long paragraph. I've worked around scientific companies before who want to be the end-all for averything and it's a gross mistake. Think about being a customer who is a complete idiot (for lack of a better term) and knows nothing about what you sell. In 5 seconds they will make a decision on your site about how to proceed. Use that 5-second test on people and see what they come away with. There's even a website dedicated to it: ( http://fivesecondtest.com/ ) and plenty of other testing sites just like it.

Right, without seeing the page as you suggested, which would

Background not showing in browser after upload?

I need some help (duh or I wouldn't be posting). I have made a website with a background that would resize by using the code for "cover" But after it is uploaded it doesn't show up. Here is a link to one of the pages, http://metro.metrocog.org/new.html
Thanks for the help
ps new to css be gentle please.

The source code shows path to the image folder is using a lower case 'i' when your folder was created using upper case 'I'. Best to use all lower case for folder and file names.

PDF in-browser will not show attachments panel

Hi. I'm working with a PDF with attachments. I created it to open with the attachments panel visibile. It works fine except for in Chrome, it shows the PDF in-browser but the attachments panel is not visible. This is causing some problems for our site users.
What is the solution here. I'm working my IT department to update the .htaccess file to force all PDF files to download, but this seems like an overly complex solution.
Why won't the attachment panel just show up in Chrome?
Thanks in advance (if this is not the right forum to ask this, any help would be appreciated)

That's not exactly helpful, I know I can set my local computer settings . I was looking for a solution to force the download on our users pages. I came up with a solution regardless.
I just ended updating the .htaccess, adding this command which forces all .pdf files to download versus rendering in the browser, however this is still ignored by Chrome:
AddType application/octet-stream .pdf
But since Chrome accepts HTML5, I also added the download attribute:
<a href="../files/is/2013_EPP_RFP.pdf" download="2013_EPP_RFP.pdf" target="_blank">2013 EPP RFP</a></div>

FireFox browser does not show toolbar when login to infoview

Hi,
I am using Business Objects Enterprise XI release 2 with SP 4. When i login to infoview using FireFox I can not see the toolbars and menus needed to create a New Webi report or any other reports.
Has anyone know how to fix this? I tried the following patches , but it did not fix the issue.
ADAPT01081436
Description:
In a Firefox browser, when creating a multiple-pane outline of a Web Intelligence report in "My InfoView", an error message
appears.
New Behavior:
This problem is resolved.
Also, I have found below issues from boxir2_en_ServicePack4_readme.pdf document:
ADAPT00861711
Description:
You cannot launch a web in a Mozilla Firefox browser from a dashboard customized help URL.
Page 52 of 130
New Behavior:
The exception handlers now catch errors thrown by Mozilla Firefox.
The error message i see in the Error console is this
toolbarContainer has no properties
menuNew has no properties etc
Regards
ambili

Firefox 2 version 2.0.0.20. and the JRE version that is installed on the machine is 1.6.0_30.
I tried the same with FireFox version 3.0.5 and get the same issue. I did not try to open any reports. But in the infoview first page, i can not see the tool bar from where you create a new report.
The error message i mentioned in the message is actually seen in the Error console from Tools -> Error Console from the browser
