Edit HTML Background

I imagine this question has been asked many times in this forum, but I can't seem to locate any answers.
Is it possible to edit the HTML background with an image?
I know Captivate allows you to select the background color, but I don't see any options to upload images to display behind the elearning in the web page. I'm using Captivate 5 (and also have access to Captivate 3).
Thanks,
Victor C.

Hi there
Sorry, but there has never been any provision for adding images to the background of the HTML page produced by Captivate. If you desire to have this, you will need to use a tool like Adobe Dreamweaver or another HTML editor.
I would encourage you to suggest it to the development team. Use the Wish Form for this. (Link is in my sig)
Cheers... Rick

Can't edit .html file in dreamweaver?

Why can't I edit .html file in Dreamweaver CS 5.5 when it is not attached to a template?
I have always been able to edit it every other time I have opened the file (since I built the site over two years ago).
Now each time I try to edit it in Design mode, no matter where I click in the file the whole page gets a dark grey overlay and I can't get a curser.
I am still able to edit the code directly but I do not want to be restricted.
The last thing I did the last time I opened the file was paste Google Analytics code in just before the </head> tag. I did this to all the files on the site but this is the only one that isn't working. I have tried taking out this code but it makes no difference.
I am using a 6 month old Macbook pro.
Can anyone help me?

In your stylesheet you have -
.container { overflow:hidden; width: 100%;}
.container2 { overflow:hidden; width: 646px; margin:0 0 10px 0}
Try right clicking on the page in Design view and then selecting Element view > Full and see if that helps.

Plain Text will not display correctly, how can i edit html?

Hello,
my beloved MacBook Pro has been a godsend, however i have found that it is incapable of displaying Plain Text, in Text Edit, Safari (View Source), or Dreamweaver's code view. Thus, i am finding it impossible to view or edit html.
the way it displays is either all jumbled and overlapping, or spread out over impossible distances. sadly i cannot post a picture.
we also have a G3 and a G4 in the house, both running 10.3, and they also have the same issue with plain text.
I have not found any topic on this, here or in google. can someone please help?
thanks,
Tobias

Tom, very kindly, has got me most of the way to a happy ending.
one or another font file or cache was causing the problem. i removed all fonts from Home/Library/Fonts, then ran FontFinagler, rebooted, and things display correctly.
now i must figure out how to establish which fonts are suitable suitcases to be used.

Hi kashif10,
JEditorPane or JTextPane are the classes to use. You can have both bold and italic for a text portion.
See http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/ for an overview of articles covering the swing text package.
Or try application SimplyHTML at http://www.lightdev.com/template.php4?id=3 it is open source and has a lot of documentation too.

Using Photoshop elements 11 on a PC, when I put new photo on screen to edit the background goes to black which messes me up when making a thumbnail that has black background. How do I get the background to white as it was originally?

Using Adobe photoshop elements 11 on a PC. When I put a photo up to edit the background on the page goes black. I need it to go back to white to do a thumbnail that has black background so I can see it. How do I do that. It used to be white on the background. Don't know how I got it all black. Can you help?

If you mean by "background" the blank work area that presents when you open the Editor, then right click on it and reset to white.
If I have this wrong, please rephrase your inquiry.

Issues editing HTML on an existing site.

I am attempting to replace the existing content in a site's left panel with custom HTML.
I refined the HTML working with a new blank subsite and was able to use the "Edit HTML" option directly in the Left Panel without adding a Content Editor Web Part.
When I go to the existing site I am unable to get the "Edit HTML" option within the panel itself and when I add a Content Editor Web Part it completely breaks my formatting.
Is there any way to apply HTML directly to an existing site panel without using a web part?

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to customize the quick launch of your SharePoint 2010 site.
For your issue, you can use the SharePoint web interface or SharePoint Designer 2010. You can have a look at the blog:

Editing HTML file leaves temporary files lying about the place

G'day
CFB 2.0.1, installed as stand-alone on Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. Although this has been the case since CFB 1.0, and on various Windows installs.
Whenever I edit a HTML file (ie: with a .html extension), CFB creates a temporary file in the same dir, eg: .tmp_charts.html.33659~ (the original file name is charts.html). I've no problem with this - other than the fact it should not be necessary - but what I do have a problem with is that it does not tidy up after itself once it's done: the tmp files stay there. This is a bit sloppy.
I'm sure (100% sure) I've raised with this with Adobe in the past, and raised a bug for it, but it's not on the bug tracker for some reason.
Can other CFB users test out what happens when they edit HTML files with CFB? Note: the tmp file does not show up in the navigator listing within CFB, but it is there in the file system if one looks with Windows Explorer.
I'm going to raise a bug again (done: 3328624), in the hope this can be fixed. It's a minor thing, but I'm sick of accidentally committing rubbish to my source control because I forget CFB can't tidy up after itself.
Cheers.
Adam

Curious.
Still: they should just not be there in the first place. They don't appear for any other file type that I am aware of.
Agreed!
Come to think of it, I had another issue with CFB leaving bits around a while back. Ahhh, now I can't remember exactly what the issue was. I remember it had to do with mapping a networked drive. When I would map a particular drive letter, say 'W', then start CFB it would create an entire folder hierarchy on there seemingly from a different server. I know this because we have two different CF environments here; some server are running CF under JRun and others are running CF under WebSphere. I only noticed this issue because I had mapped one of our JRun servers and all of a sudden it had portions of the WebSphere directory structure on there. I think it had to do with a workspace in CFB but can't remember for sure. I fixed it a while back by removing the offending setting in CFB. Man, wish I could remember exactly what it was...

Using Flash as HTML background image?

Can I use a SWF as a HTML background image?
I've tried this a couple of different ways...
Any tricks to make this work?

No, you can't use SWF in html background.
The background does not allow any active content.

Change HTML background color with AS3

Hi all,
I'm looking or a way to change my HTML background color trough Flash.
The problem is it's not working any ideas? here is the code i'm using
HTML HEAD
<script language="JavaScript">
function changeBgColor(newBgColor)
if (window.document && window.document.bgColor)
        document.bgColor = newBgColor;
</script>
Flash document
import flash.external.*;
var jsCall:String;
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, bgChange)
function bgChange(e:Event):void{
    jsCall = String(ExternalInterface.call("changeBgColor", "#FF0000"));
best regards!!!

Change your AS3 function code to be more like...
function bgChange(e:Event):void{
    var result:Object = ExternalInterface.call("changeBgColor", "#FF0000");
and I suggest you do not use...
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, bgChange)
as that will continuously trigger the function call at the frame rate of the Flash file. If the intention is to only trigger it once, then just use...
bgChange();

Edit HTML in Blog

Hi All,
Basically I'm fidelling around with the Blog function and I'm trying to add a youtube video to the blog using the HTML code from youtube, and choosing edit html from the toolbar and pasting the code in.
When I press save the blog is blank. And when I press "edit html" again none of the code that I just pasted is there.
I'm no shark at html, so am I doing something wrong?

Emilliard,
The html you are pasting is blacklisted. It's a security provision that Apple put in place for you. You can override it to allow the html, but you will have to create a custom whitelist on your server.
First, grab this PDF: http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/ExtendingYour_WikiServer.pdf
Then read page 33. It references your YouTube problem specifically.
Good luck,

How do I edit HTML after publishing site?

What does it mean to edit HTML after publishing the site? How exactly is that done? From another thread, it seems that re-publishing will overwrite that HTML - is that true? Thanks for any insight into this.

Editing HTML through the browser itself

Today, I went to JotSpot and reached the following page saying that Safari is not supported [from http://feedback.jot.com/KnownIssues/]:
Mac Support
<item>1. Mac support: WYSIWYG will work with the Firefox browser (free, open-source), but not with Safari. Safari does not allow you to edit HTML through the browser itself. Without this capability, we cannot offer WYSIWYG mode.
Any idea why Apple did not implement this feature? Is it in the roadmap?
Thanks!
- Mazzaroth

I do not know how JotSpot implements online editing, but I have been on sites using Safari which have allowed me to have an html editor with formatting buttons and a choice between wysiwyg and html editors.
You can always send in a bug report using "Report Bugs to Apple" under the Safari menu.
And for now, if you want to use JotSpot you can use Firefox.

How to edit Theme Backgrounds in Keynote?

Stuck with a little conundrum:
I'm trying to edit the background of the Crayon Line theme (but it is the same for other themes) - More specifically I'm trying to move the actual black and red horizontal crayon line. The problem I have is that I haven't found a way to select it.
It is not part of the actual background image, because the line stays after you change the background 'image fill' (inspector > slide > appearance > background) to none.
Any ideas?

Go to the View Menu and then Show Master slides. Then one the master slide you can delete, move or change the line. You will have to do it for every master that you use.

How to edit html in iWeb

How can I edit html in iWeb?

but info was needed on how to edit / add additional coding as no obvious way of designing a typical 'Contact Us' form included in iWeb
Then you should have said that in your topic.
And if it did not answer the question, then say so in the same topic.
Anyway, the HTML Snippet was invented for your purpose.
So find the Contact Us code, usually a form, and paste it in the HTML Snippet.

How can I edit HTML code that was previously inserted?

Inserting HTML code is easy enough - Object -> Insert HTML...
But editing the code does not seem possible. It seems that it's necessary to delete the HTML object and reinsert it to make a change. What am I missing?

Right click. I'm on my phone, but an option like "Edit HTML..." should be among the choices when an HTML embed object is selected.
