Inserting table background image

I just upgraded from DW8 to CS4 and can't figure out how to
insert an image for a table background! The box and folder icon to
browse to the file I want is greyed out. Can anyone help?

This is CS4's way of telling you that you have to use CSS for
such things.

  • Inserting table background images [was: CS4 DW]

    Dear all,
    I've have trouble inserting the background images in a cell of a table. When I was using CS3 I had the options of selecting BG color or image, as well as choosing the border color.
    Right now in CS4 I can't even insert one in a cell, only color bg, and also editing the font size, color, type..
    Can anyone advise?

    CSS code uses a different syntax than HTML code.
    With CSS you can use a background-color: #FFF or a background-image (URL).  This can point to an absolute URL:
    background: url (http:yoursite.com/images/bg-image.jpg)
    or to an image in your  DW local site folder:
    background: url (some-folder-in-your-local-site/image.jpg)

  • How to insert a background image in VGroup in Flex Mobile

    I want to insert a background image for this VGroup. Help me out. I'm new to Flex !!
    I'm using this code in Flex Mobile Application
    <s:VGroup height="100%" width="100%"
              paddingTop="10" paddingBottom="10" paddingLeft="10" paddingRight="10">   
        <s:List id="homeList" height="100%"

                <s:TileLayout requestedColumnCount="1"
                              verticalGap="5"/>
            </s:layout>
            <s:itemRenderer>
                <fx:Component>
                    <s:ItemRenderer>
                        <s:VGroup>
                            <s:BitmapImage source="{data.source}"/>
                            <s:Label text="{data.title}" />
                        </s:VGroup>

                </fx:Component>
            </s:itemRenderer>
        </s:List>
    </s:VGroup>

    I don't think you can add a background image to a VGroup directly, nor can VGroup be skinned.
    As far as I am aware there are probably 2 solutions
    1) use a SkinnableContainer instead skin the container to have a background image and set its layout to VerticalLayout
    2) enclose the VGroup in a Group with a BasicLayout. you can then add a background image to the Group and overlay the VGroup

  • Inserting a background image on JFrame

    I am developing an interactive system for the london 2012 olympics (Not a real one, just a project :-)) I am starting by creating my GUI layout. This is where i have started.

    public class Assignment extends JFrame  
       private JLabel londOnJLabel;
    public Assignment()
              ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("???.jpg");
              JLabel background = new JLabel(image);
              background.setBounds(0, 0, image.getIconWidth(), image.getIconHeight());
              getLayeredPane().add(background, new Integer(Integer.MIN_VALUE));
    private void createUserInterface()
              Container contentPane = getContentPane();
              contentPane.setLayout( null );
              londOnJLabel = new JLabel();
              londOnJLabel.setBounds( 19, 19, 875, 28 );
              londOnJLabel.setText( "LONDON 2012" );

    public static void main( String[] args )
          Assignment application = new Assignment();
          application.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
    }So at the moment this Just displays LONDON 2012 on my application. Now what i would like to try and do is insert a background image of the olympic rings. How would i go about doing this?

  • Tables & Background Images

    I am currently using Dreamweaver CS4. I am attempting to add
    a background image into a table cell. When I look at how to do this
    on the web, it says to select the Bg Image within the PROPERTIES
    PANE, then browse and choose a background image. My problem is as
    follows; the 'Bg Image' feature does not appear in the PROPERTIES
    PANE, only the 'Bg Color' selection appears. Is there a setting I
    need to set to turn this feature on in the PROPERTIES PANE?
    Thanks,
    Rick

    No. You need to learn how to create a CSS style rule.

  • CS4 Table Background Images

    Trying to figure out how to code background images for
    various cells within
    a table. I tried writing a css rule but nothing shows up.

    Most likely there is a bug in your code. We'd need to see it
    to know.
    Your Properties panel looks fine.
    Anyhow, back up to the "Set table properties" section and
    read the comments
    at the bottom.

  • Stopping tiling in a table background image

    I'm trying to stop the tiling of the background image within
    a table in Dreamweaver 8.
    It seems to be different then "no-repeat" for the general
    background.
    Was hoping someone could help me out.
    Thanks.

    You have no tiling control there at all.
    Change this -
    <table width="612" height="1081" border="0"
    background="ess_web_ad_bg.jpg">
    to this -
    <table width="612" height="1081" border="0"
    background="ess_web_ad_bg.jpg"
    style="background-repeat:no-repeat;">

  • Table background image

    I created a site with a table holding the background image.
    Other tables are within this containing the content.
    It works fine but if i use a .png image for the background i
    get a thin blue line at the top. see here:
    http://proof.outoffocusonline.com/
    (it is visible above contact).
    If i make the background image a .jpg or a .gif this problem
    disappears - that is with making NO other changes just the name
    extension.
    Any ideas why this occurs? and how can i fix it? - the image
    does not look nearly as good in gif form due to the shadow/glow
    effect. And jpg boosts the filesize by a lot.
    thanks.

    Does the PNG contain transparency?

  • Need table background image to resize

    I'm working in DW MX. I have a subtle background image in a
    nested table on my page. The pages will vary in height due to the
    amount of content on each. I would like the background image to
    resize vertically as the table expands vertically. I also don't
    want the image to repeat. I'd be happy with a straight HTML or CSS
    solution. Any advice?

    Ain't gonna happen. There's just no way....

  • Inserting 2 background images in to you site

    I've seen many sites with more than 1 background images. How
    can I do that with Dreamweaver CS3?
    I am very curious and I need to know how to do that. I am a
    newbie. Please don't give me horrible instructions. If you could
    please just give me a link to a tutorial or if it is very simple
    just tell me how to do it =]

    Ok, try this, it will give you something to play with. Copy
    all of the code
    below between the *** and *** and paste it into a new html
    page.
    I did not make the top div 1000px wide, that would cause
    quite a few people
    to scroll left to right, but change it if you prefer. Your
    bottom div will
    grow in size depending on content.
    Now someone else may have a better suggestion for you, but
    this is one way
    you can do what you seem to want to do.

  • How can i insert a background image in a fluide grid DW CC

    I want a background image for a fluid grill website and cannot seem to find the "how to". Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards
    Animal86

    It's the same as adding a background to any Layout.  Use CSS & the background property on your body selector.
    body {
    background: url(your_BG.jpg)

  • CS4 table background image?

    Is this a new thing -- to no longer have the background image
    selection box, or is it yet another Windows Vista anomoly...

    It's related to CS4's focus on VALID code usages and best
    practices. You
    should use CSS to specify all of your background images.

  • Dreamweaver: can i insert a background image in a layout table?

    i'm using a layout table and i can't figure out how to put a
    non-repeating image into the background of my layout table. is this
    possible? i need to center it too.

    Before anything else, I would say DON'T USE LAYOUT MODE.
    In my opinion, there are three serious problems with Layout
    Mode -
    1. Perhaps most importantly, it sits between you and *real*
    HTML tables,
    and fools you into believing that concepts like "layout cell"
    and
    "autostretch" really mean something. They do not. As long as
    you use
    Layout Mode, you'll never learn one of the most important
    things for new web
    developers - how to build solid and reliable tables.
    2. Actually, #1 wouldn't be *so* bad, except that the code
    that is written
    by Layout Mode is really poor code. For example, a layout
    table contains
    MANY empty rows of cells. This can contribute to a table's
    instability.
    In addition, if your initial positioning of the table's cells
    is a bit
    complex,
    Layout Mode will throw in col- and rowspans aplenty as it
    merges and splits
    cells willy-nillly to achieve the pixel-perfect layout you
    have specified.
    Again,
    this is an extremely poor method for building stable tables,
    because it
    allows
    changes in one tiny cell's shape (i.e, dimensions) to ripple
    through the
    rest
    of the table, usually with unexpected and sometimes
    disastrous consequences.
    This is one of the primary reasons for the final result's
    fragility - read
    this -
    http://apptools.com/rants/spans.php
    3. The UI for Layout Mode is beyond confusing - many options
    that you might
    want to use are inaccessible, e.g., inserting another table,
    or layer onto
    the page.
    I can understand the new user's desire to use this tool to
    make their life
    easier,
    but the cost is just too heavy in my opinion.
    To make good tables, keep it simple. Put a table on the page,
    and begin to
    load your content. If you would want a different table
    layout, instead of
    merging or splitting cells, consider stacking tables or
    nesting simple
    tables instead, respectively.
    And above all, do not try to build the whole page with a
    single table!
    Luckily, Adobe understands the problems created for the
    unsuspecting user
    who falls into this trap, and has elected to remove this
    feature altogether
    from the next version of DW. The time is right for you to
    begin working
    with tables properly!
    To read more about this approach, visit the DW FAQ link in my
    sig, and run
    through the table tutorials.
    Adobe agrees with this analysis - Layout mode is being
    removed from the next
    version of DW.

  • Table Background Images in CS4...

    This may sound like a really stupid question and I really hope there's an easy explanation... When I create a new table in dreamweaver cs4, and i click on the table and go down to the property inspector, the src file is greyed out. It's not allowing me to select an image to use as a background within my table. What am I missing? Please help!!!! Thanks in advance.
    BFM

    CS4 is trying to teach you get into good coding habits  :-)  Adding a background is a style it's not html, so the background needs to go into a stylesheet.
    I have an example here - with the ane example of css to use - see if it helps:
