Lost background images

Hi,
For some reason I cannot now place a cell inside a table that
has a background image, without the background image disapearing!
This was working fine, but I then decided to deleate the cells that
I had previously placed in the table and replace with other new
cells. But for some reason every time I try now, the background
image disapears completely? I am working in design mode, but check
code view and has vanished.
I am using layout mode when I try this, but as I say, it was
working before.
I have tried restarting Dreamweaver and computer, but with no
joy.
Please help!

Is the background image inside the <tr> or the
<td> tag?
It should be inside the <td> tag.
You are better off using css to apply the background image
that way btw.

Lost old background images

Hi, Install went fine. Have lost my previous background images, the ones that came on tiger, like the tiger and leopard background, ironically. Anywhere I can get these or what happened to them? Thanks, Shane

Go to hard drive>system>library>screensavers, and see if there around. If so Pacifist can extract them if you can not.

Background Image in Spry Menu

Hi everyone,
I'm really struggling with this Spry Horizontal Menu thing. I tried to read thru some other people's duscussions but I got lost.
I just want to add a gradient image instead of a plain color background. Now, I did achieved that on the main level items but as soon as I add submenus, the background image dissapear from the main items and shows on the submenus. That's it. I hope this is easy enough to fix.
I'm not that familiar with CSS and by looking at some samples, the CSS code is embedded in the same HTML page where the menu bar is. Isn't supposed to be on it's own CSS page? And one more thing, can the horizontal menu be inside a table? And if not, how can I center it on the page?
I'm a beginner so please be gentle... : )
Thanks

This is good but my problem is that my background image dissapear from the main menu item as soon as I add a submenu item... everything else seems to work just fine. About the question if the menu could go inside a table or if has to be out side of it, how can I centered it on the page?
thx

Background Images Disappearing on External Display

I have a late model Macbook Air and just upgraded to Mountain Lion. Since doing so every time my Mac goes to screensaver and then I unlock it, it loses my background image on my external monitor (which I use as my primary when docked). The only way to then get it back is to logout and back in but then it onlh stays until it goes to screen saver again. Once it's "lost" opening "Change Desktop Background" and activating different background images has no effect... it just stays an ugly gray. This has onlhy been an issue since going to Mountain Lion and the image doesn't disappear on the Air's built-in display. Any ideas?

Unfortunately my issue is back. Selecting a new screensaver seemed to work for about 12 hours but now it's just the way it was. Today I tried softwater suggestion...
Open Terminal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) and copy/paste this command into the Terminal window:
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist
press 'return' on your keyboard.
Restart your mac and test for the issue.
... to no avail.
Other ideas?

Setting background-image as editable in Fluid Grid Layout (Template file)

Hi, Im very basic on Dreamweaver so bare with me,
I am creating my first website and setting up my template file.
I am struggling with making my background image editable in the template file,
Alot of the awnsers point me into creating a new background style sheet which I have done.
I have included :
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../Background style sheet.css" type="text/css">
into my <head> in the source code and now im pretty lost for what to do next... I want to link it to all my mobile, tablet and desktop #main divs and then be able to edit the background image for my different web pages;
for example my home page is one background-image and then the other web pages all have other background images.
Sorry if I am not asking the right questions, I am very new to coding
Regards,
Confused Graphic Design student.

It's actually very easy to target the <body> of each page in an external stylesheet to change the background individually, just not with DW Templates.
Normally, what I would do is give each page's <body> tag an id, for example, on an about.html page...
<body id="about">
Then in the css, you would give the #about id a background-image setting...
#about {
background-image:url(about_bg.jpg);
Each page would have a similarly named id in the <body> and a corresponding #id in the css.
Side Note: Stick to lower case, alpha numeric file names for all of your pages and images. Use underscores or hyphens instead of spaces for them too. Servers are CaSe SenSitIvE and a link to Index.html (capital i) will not go to a page named index.html (lowercase i). It will work on your local system, just not on the server because the server sees the case structure difference as two separate files.

What is the Proper Way to place a Background Image inside a Div?

I have been searching Google and the Adobe forums for awhile now, and while there are very valid solutions to similar problems I found that none of them fixed the problem that I am facing. I blame myself and getting lost in this sloppy coding of mine, so part of my plan was to start my style sheet over from scratch.
My question, what is the proper way to add a background image into a div? I currently have the top div following the "header" css style, here is what I have typed into that sections:
<style type="text/css">
@import url("../twoColLiqLtHdr.css");
.header {
    width: 1000px;
    height: 300px;
    background-image: url(Assets/HeaderTemplate.png);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: center;
The problem here is that the background image isn't even appearing. I would greatly appreciate any help, could anyone inform me on the proper way to doing this so that I can implement images in divs in the future without turning my coding in a down right mess?
Thank you in advance.

I apologize, I'm unable to post a link to the page just yet. This is a snip of coding for a website still in the making for the company I work for.
Would any of the coding below help?:
</script>
<style type="text/css">

</style>
<link href="../twoColLiqLtHdr.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<header class="twoColLiqLtHdr">

Ringtones and background images not available after call manager upgrade

Hi,
We have upgraded our call manager from version 8.5 to 10.5. Once after the upgrade we lost all the Ringtones and background images except the two default ringtone and background images. we got 8945 sccp phones(running 9-3-1 firmware) and 9951 sip phones(running 9-4-1 firmware). Both these phones lost these list. However the ringlist.xml is available in the tftp server with all the ringtones and the phones are pointed to the right tftp servers. I tried to restart the tftp servers and tried again, however that didn't help. we are using call manager 10.5 and h323 voice gateway. Could anyone please help on this.
Thanks
Barry

Hi Tony,
I can see the ringtone files in the call manager (osadmin>tftp file mgmt), i have also restarted the tftp services, but it didn't help. I believe you advised to re-upload the ringlist file (Ringlist.xml) and try again. I will try this and update you. Please let me know if you have any other suggestions.
Thanks
Barry

Problem with aligning buttons with background image.

Dear all,
Just an introduction, I am a newbie to dreamweaver and currently hopelessly lost in solving some problems, and wish to seek your advice and help here.
I am creating a webpage with a background that shows a line across near the top of the site. I placed an image with the line as background under the page properties. I am placing buttons on that line, so when I mouse over the buttons, the part of the line above the buttons will darken, showing that the button has been selected.
The image of the buttons include the darken lines and the words. I can align the button lines with the background line when viewing the site in 100%, but on other resolutions or if I zoom in 125% or 150%, the lines are not aligned.
Here is a picture of my dreamweaver working area, where I manually adjust the buttons to align with the background line. The button lines are already not aligned here, but they look aligned on site in 100%.
[IMG]http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l614/artbox11/pic1.jpg[/IMG]
Here are how the lines look at 150%. The arrows show where the button lines are not aligned with the background image line.
[IMG]http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l614/artbox11/pic2.jpg[/IMG]
Can anyone advise how I can align the button lines with the background image line so that whichever resolution I view the lines will be aligned from side to side? Any tips and advice will be greatly appreciated, as I have been looking around DW for a day now and cannot find out how to fix this.
Thank you!!

Div Background Image...Resize To Fit Browser Window...???

[b]hello again[/b]...
I would like to have a background image (.jpg) automatically resize to fit any browser's window...& I read somewhere on the web it should be accomplished by placing the image in a layer (as a background image); & then set the layer size to 100%.
can someone please tell me how the coding goes for this...?
[or...if that [i]is[/i] in fact the correct approach? I don't care if it's html or css...I just want it to work. (&...I'm starting off w/ a larger image (so resolution doesn't get lost when going bigger)]
thanks very much,
[b]mark4man[/b]
btw - I should add that it's the image's [i]WIDTH[/i] I'm interested in resizing...while it's aspect ration remains in tact.

http://css-tricks.com/how-to-resizeable-background-image/
For the record, I'm not a big fan of huge background images on web pages. They take forever to load on slow connections. And some mobile devices won't display them at all. So all that weight just for eye candy is kind of a waste IMO.
I think the safest, most practical way to achieve backgrounds that fill available viewport is to use a small, seemless tile and repeat horizontally, vertically or both.

How to specify relative path for background image in xsl

Hi,
I am generating a PDF from Apcahe FOP. I have an xsl for that, in the xsl fo:block I am displaying a background image. When the image path is absolute like..C:\image\logo.png it works fine. But I want to have the image in my WebContent\images folder and my xsl file is in WebContent\xsls folder. So when I try giving the relative path as ../images/logo.png, the image is not displayed.
Can anyone tell how to do this???
Thanks,
Sanjeev.

I have a fo:block like this :
<fo:block border-style="solid" border-width="0.2pt" text-align="left"
                         background-image="url('http://localhost:8080/Project/images/table_header_center.png')"
                         font-size="8pt" font-weight="bold" color="white" padding-top="1pt"
                         padding-bottom="1pt">
                         <xsl:value-of select="tr/td/span" />
                    </fo:block>In the above code you can see that the the background-image="url('http://localhost:8080/Project/images/table_header_center.png')"
has been given as absolute. The images folder is in my WebContent directory. I want this path to be relative to the context of my application , something like background-image="url('../images/table_header_center.png')".
Thanks.

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.

Washed out background image on Treo Pro

Hi:
When I set my background image on my today screen (check the box in settings, browse to image - use 320x320 resolution) I get a "washed out" version of the image regardless of its original color, tone or intensity. Images from the preinstalled themes are fine - vibrant and clear - but the user set images are very light (almost like a 50 percent transparency in Photoshop for example). I have tried both .jpg format and .png. Backlight settings do not cure this either.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Post relates to: Treo Pro T850 (Bell)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi Again:
Upon further investigation, I have discovered that the options for setting background and transparency levels is found through the pictures and videos explorer not the file explorer.
As suggested I have set the transparency to 0 and the image (Crab Nebula through the Hubble space telescope) is as bright and vibrant as it should be.
Thanks again for the direction - it's much appreciated.

Anchored graphic as background image?

I am working with text flowing continuously through a master text frame unto multiple pages and I am trying to anchor a full-page background image (with bleed) onto specific pages. Is this possible?
I want the background image to stay with the relevant heading on each page. However, when I use "Object/Anchored Object/Insert" to do this with "custom" as the anchor option I end up with a frame on the same layer as my text. This is okay, but when I place an image in the frame, it covers the text I have entered in the text frame. I can see the dotted line indicating the anchor connection, but not the text it is anchored to. I can't change the order of objects within the layer because the "Arrange" options are greyed out. Changing the text wrap options does not help.

Thanks Bob! Really good to know. I will stop hitting my head against a brick wall!
Adding backgrounds to master pages doesn't really cut it since I still can't have them flow dynamically with the continually evolving text in this project. (I suspect I might be able to flow backgrounds with text in Word, if it came to it, but of course I chose InDesign to give me more control, particularly over the non-text elements of the layout).

Problem with Background image and JFrame

Hi there!
I've the following problem:
I created a JFrame with an integrated JPanel. In this JFrame I display a background image. Therefore I've used my own contentPane:
public class MContentPane extends JComponent{
private Image backgroundImage = null;
public MContentPane() {
super();
* Returns the background image
* @return Background image
public Image getBackgroundImage() {
return backgroundImage;
* Sets the background image
* @param backgroundImage Background image
public void setBackgroundImage(Image backgroundImage) {
this.backgroundImage = backgroundImage;
* Overrides the painting to display a background image
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
if (isOpaque()) {
g.setColor(getBackground());
g.fillRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
if (backgroundImage != null) {
g.drawImage(backgroundImage,0,0,this);
super.paintComponent(g);
Now the background image displays correct. But as soon as I click on some combobox that is placed within the integrated JPanel I see fractals of the opened combobox on the background. When I minimize
the Frame they disappear. Sometimes though I get also some fractals when resizing the JFrame.
It seems there is some problem with the redrawing of the background e.g. it doesn't get redrawn as often as it should be!?
Could anyone give me some hint, on how to achieve a clear background after clicking some combobox?
Thx in advance

I still prefer using a border to draw a background image:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
public class CentredBackgroundBorder implements Border {
    private final BufferedImage image;
    public CentredBackgroundBorder(BufferedImage image) {
        this.image = image;
    public void paintBorder(Component c, Graphics g, int x, int y, int width, int height) {
        int x0 = x + (width-image.getWidth())/2;
        int y0 = y + (height-image.getHeight())/2;
        g. drawImage(image, x0, y0, null);
    public Insets getBorderInsets(Component c) {
        return new Insets(0,0,0,0);
    public boolean isBorderOpaque() {
        return true;
}And here is a demo where I load the background image asynchronously, so that I can launch the GUI before the image is done loading. Warning: you may find the image disturbing...
import java.awt.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.imageio.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
public class BackgroundBorderExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
        JFrame f = new JFrame("BackgroundBorderExample");
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        JTextArea area = new JTextArea(24,80);
        area.setForeground(Color.WHITE);
        area.setOpaque(false);
        area.read(new FileReader(new File("BackgroundBorderExample.java")), null);
        final JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane(area);
        sp.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
        sp.getViewport().setOpaque(false);
        f.getContentPane().add(sp);
        f.setSize(600,400);
        f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        f.setVisible(true);
        String url = "http://today.java.net/jag/bio/JagHeadshot.jpg";
        final Border bkgrnd = new CentredBackgroundBorder(ImageIO.read(new URL(url)));
        Runnable r = new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                sp.setViewportBorder(bkgrnd);
                sp.repaint();
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(r);
}

How to set a background image to fill the entire screen on any device in a spark mobile application

Hi,
I started developing a mobile application with Flex.
I'm trying to set a background image to fill the whole screen. I've been stucked at this point for days now. I tried everything and no solution seems to work for me.
I'm using a TabbedViewNavigatorApplication and i need to set some background images on views.
I need my image to fill the entire screen on any device. i don't need to mantain image aspect ratio, just need it to be fullscreen. This seemed to work when setting a custom skin on the TabbedViewNavigatorApplication, however this blocked all my views for some reason and all components contained in view became invisible.
Can you please tell me how can i achieve this?
Kind regards,
Dan

Basically you need a larger image which can accommodate any device. The trick is to show only what each device can display, so therefore some clipping will occur based on device. Have something centered and towards margins have a gradient or just plane colors that way the stuff in the middle will be visible on every device while nobody will care if you are clipping from the color fill.
