Messed Up Tables & Background in IE

I'm new to Dreamweaver, trying to make my first website.
I realise that this website I've thrown together is a terrible mess of tables and junk, but I still don't see why it should appear so differently in certain browsers.
The site is available at http://www.lcmfilm.com. It seems to work perfectly in Chrome. But in Internet Explorer the background moves and the tables don't maintain their structure.
Let me know if I'm asking for too much to get this mess working properly :S
Thank you.

By Adobe, I assume you mean Acrobat. OCR works sometimes, but not always. For scanning to Word, I find dedicated OCR tools work better.

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.

CS3 Table Background Color Won't Change

I have been inserting tables and doing the CSS for them fine
until after I inserted a Flash object. All tables inserted after
the Flash object have a medium blue background??? I can't even
intiate a new CSS rule to change the table background color... it
just stays this way!?!? Very strange. Anybody else experience this?
BTW: I've restarted my machine, worked on tables on other
pages and haven't experienced this issue... it is only after the
insertion of the flash object. Is there something I'm missing??
Thanks,
Chris
Here is the code inserted by the Flash object placement just
in case this helps any:

Let's see the page, please.

Editable Table Background

Hi,
I'm new to dreamweaver-so hopefully this is an easy
question. I'm trying to create a template for our website, but I
want one of the tables to have a different background on every
page. I can edit the text, but haven't been able to set the
background to editable. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Matt

Give each page a unique title in the body tag:
<body id="pageTitle">
and in your css file have a different css code for each
#pageTitle table {background-color:gray;}
#pageTitle2 table {background-color:silver;}
etc etc

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?
Z

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)

Table Background in CSS Layout

I am updating a website using the Two Column Fixed Header and Footer layout. Please see http://www.ellingtonridge.org/ERCC_newsite/.
I used a graphic for the Body background.
I want to enter a small table to hold calendar links in the right sidebar. Whenever I try to do so, the table takes the Body graphic as the background. I have tried a number of different approaches, but I cannot get a table without that background. Evening putting the table in an AP Div did not alter the background. I actually want no background at all.
Any guidance anyone can offer would be most appreciated!
Thanks,
Doug

Hi Doug,
"sorry", but your calendar links part looks and works well in my IE8 without your tables too. Only the center line is not adjusted to the height of the page, but this can be corrected by carriage returns.
In this context, I recommend to look up or better to rummage Nancy O's tutorials, http://alt-web.com/TEMPLATES/2-column-fixed-width-template.shtml for example.
"I actually want no background at all." may I ask you why?

Table background not viewing correctly in Firefox

I am unable to figure out why, when viewd in Firefox, the
table on my website shows the background color of the page (Gray),
instead of the background color of the table (White)? Opera, Safari
and Explore seem to view it correctly. Thoughts anyone?

You've forgotten to put the hash marks in front of all your
colours
throughout your code. Thus background-color: FFFFFF; should
be
background-color: #FFFFFF; and so on.

Transparent table backgrounds

Hello all, does anybody know how to make the background of a table transparent.
I have tried selecting the white square with diagonal red line thru it, and also creating a transparent png file and using that, but nothing works so far...
I would have thought this would be a relatively simple process but...
I'm using CS3.

You'll get better answers here if you post a URL to your page. We can't guess what you have going on with your page without seeing your CSS and HTML code.

How to set table background to no repeat (not as obvious answer)

Hi, just to be clear I'm not refering to a normal background on a page where I could just edit the css and type background-repeat: no-repeat (hence the 'not as obvious answer' in the title).
I have a table with a background image set to it - i did this by inserting an image, cutting it out, then right clicking and selecting edit tag td... then I set the parameters and image and the image appears in the table but you can still type over it...
Anyway whenever I stretch that table out the bg image repeats.. I have tried going into HTML and finding the responsible code which was:
<td width="377" height="367" align="center" valign="middle" background="IMG/content box trial.png" >
and I added the background-repeat= "no-repeat" to it however with no success, the image still keeps on repeating...
I might be doing this wrong.. Any help is always greatly appreciated guys and gals!
Thanks!

Or you could have done the modern way by defining your styles separately from the html code:
<style type="text/css" media="all">
td {
    width: 377px;
    height: 367px;
    background-image: url('frame_border.jpg');
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
</style>

CSS in tables - background and paragraphs [was: need help]

Hi there,
I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 and i'm trying to add a background image to a cell. I'm using CSS which works, but that also adds parts of the background to other cells. The only way i can do it sucessfully is by going "properties" then "bg", but i would rather use CSS because i want my page valid with W3C. Is there an easy way to do this?
I also have a problem with paragraph spacing. If i align text to the top of a cell with paragraphs, the area above the whole text moves down one line in a broswer, if i have no paragraphs then it will look exactly the same as in dreamweaver. Is this normal or is there anyway to prevent it happening?.
Any help is much appreciated, thanks.

Paragraphs have a default top margin. You need to remove or adjust the margin with your CSS:
td p {
margin-top: 0;
Awesome! Worked right away, this has been driving me nuts for ages, thanks a lot.
In code view, you can use CSS to style a single table cell like so.
HTML:
<table>
     <tr>
          <td style="background: url(some_image.jpg) no-repeat">
          styled table cell here here </td>
          <td>unstyled table cell here </td>
     </tr>
</table>
I'm not too sure where to place this code, what does "styled and unstyled table cell" mean?
I'm not that great when it comes to codes, any help would be grealty appreciated, thanks.

Gradient as a Table Background Works, but Color is Wrong

Hi:
I've created gradients in Web pages as well as in tables in
Web pages, but I can't seem to get it to work properly in WebHelp.
I can get the gradient to display in a table, but the colors are
not right--it is dark blue to black (close to my skin colors?); the
color should have been pale grey to white. I want to put the
gradient in the page header or in the page header table. Either
will work for me. I don't want the whole page to have a gradient,
only the header.
After entering the code in Truecode, after I save the file
and go back and look at the page, the color delimeters are gone!
The rest of the code is there. Weird.
Robohelp keeps everything in the statement up to
"Microsoft.Gradient" and discards the rest consisting of
(endColorstr='#EEEEEE', startColorstr='#FFFFFF',
gradientType='0');" which is what determines the colors. RoboHelp
also as changes the single quotes and adds spaces.
Here is the code I used, after the last !. Any suggestions
would be welcome.
!===!<p>Gradient Table Example</p>
</p>
<table border="1" width="100%" id="table1">
<tr>
<table
style="filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(endColorstr='#EEEEEE',
startColorstr='#FFFFFF', gradientType='0');"</style
width="1036">
<td>Table is here.
<p> </td>
</tr>
</table>
Regards,
Diana

Hi Diane.
Here's more of a workaround solution... There could be those
more technically savvy than myself willing to chime in.
This could just be RoboHelp TrueCode's special little way of
saying "I don't
think so!"
I'd suggest modifying everything that you need to in WYSIWYG,
generate, and then go to where your HTML files are (that you want
to add the gradients to), and then add the gradient code in
Notepad.
Then don't go back into that file with WYSIWYG in RoboHelp!
Otherwise chances are good that RoboHelp will get its fingers in
there and mess your code up again.

Dw Change table background colour from hex to rgb impossible

If you want to change the background colour (properties) in a table from HEX to RGB, it is impossible, because the buttons are without function.
Is this a bug? Or is this intended?

Don't forget the A for alpha-transparency
.your_table_rule { background-color: rgba(255,255,195,0.5); }

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.

Table background colors and images

This should be easy, but I am not seeing it. I have a few pages with existing tables, probably created in DW CS3. In DW CS4, I need to select a table inside a cell of another table and assign a solid color for the background. Currently, the larger table has a textured background image and it is also filling the background of the table inside it.
I can easily select the smaller table, but I don't see the old familiar information bar where I'd assign a color to the entire table.
Any help would be appreciated.
M. Jackson

Hi Nancy O,
I started a long time ago with Adobe Page Mill, then had to move to GoLive, and later into DW.
The appeal of Page Mill was the GUI, letting a non-programmer make web pages visually, and letting the program write the code for me. Each upgrade have moved farther from that concept in my opinion.
I just want to add tables and if DW wants to apply CSS to them, then fine. Maybe I will have to learn to do it in CSS, but it is not high on my current list of priorities. I'd prefer to spend most of my learning time in Photoshop. For now, I have quite a few pages that just need some tweaking and I don't have the extra time to dig into this venture.
Thanks for taking the time to try to counsel me. A couple of my photographer friends have suggested looking into Site Grinder as a plug-in to Photoshop. As I read the reviews, the artist group think it is the greatest and the code writers say it is not great at writing code.
For now, I installed DW CS3 and made a few changes I can live with. CSS some other day or some other way.
Best regards,
M. Jackson
