Page background, half disappeared?

Hi gang,
This occurs fairly regularly. I've got a page background (a gradient). The site is loading fine. And then, when I sometimes do adjustments to a page ... the page background is not the FULL page, but only a portion of the page.
I go back to the iWeb project and redo the page, alter it enough so that I can reload it as a changed page ... and sometimes it gets rid of the partial page, and sometimes it doesn't ... the partial page is still there.
If I do the page over and over again, eventually I get the full page background.
I'm wondering what might be happening here.
All ears, Ben

Where are you losing the page, online or in iWeb? If on line try emptying your browser's cache (Command+Option+E for Safari) and reload the page.

Page background disappears for a moment on page turn in pdf

In indesign my document has a gradient page background (created in indesign) on the master page to make it look like a book. But when the page is turned in pdf, the background disappears for a moment, leaving the page white, then the background appears again; it does this nearly every time page is turned, flashing white. Does this have to do with pdf or indesign layers? I have only 1 layer in the indesign document, and transparency blend space is set to rgb.

Everytime you change the page Acrobat needs to redraw all of the page elements. The dealy is probably a reflection of the amount off video memory available, as much as anything.

Why does my book page background disappear?

I have created many books in Aperture, usually using custom layouts, so I can export as a PDF to print with Blurb.
Recently, a few of my books suffered a glitch.
I had set the page background (mostly) to Black.
When I went back to the book, I found that it had been replaced by White (or No Background)
Now the background drop-down menu, instead of providing colours, says only Item1 or Bkgd2.
Both are greyed out anyway, so I can't change them.
Duplicating the book does not help.
So the only option is to recreate the entire book, or export to Jpegs and chand All of the pages in photoshop.
Anyone have any ideas??
best regards
Adrian

Thanks for replying, Leonie, but I'm afraid it hasn't solved it.
They were created with the latest version, 3.4.5.
And because the layout is a custom one (12x12") there is no original theme.
I first noticed the phenomenon when I transferred a project to a laptop from the iMac.
But it has happened three times since, seemingly at random.

Page Background Lost on Regions above Content Area for Some Pages

Hi - I am a iWeb novice, but not a total rookie on this kind of software...
I have a simple iWeb project that applies a gradient fill to the page background, and applies one of the gradient colors to the Browser background on every web page. I am using the "White" theme, and I have trouble with the "Photos" page template drawing Page backgrounds correctly. I have my content area set wider than the default to 1008 pixels to fill a 1024-wide display. I set my display area to 877 pixels high to coincide with the largest media dimension that I see with the inspector.
I looked here for previous discussions on this and failed to find anything. Maybe I missed a post...
Initially, most web pages load and display correctly the first time. One Photos web page, however, displays the Browser background - not the Page background above the centerline of the page name.
On several pages with a "Photos" template (but not all), the initial page is displayed correctly. But, when I click on a photo thumbnail and the page is revised to display the larger photo image in the content area, the Browser background is displayed in error above the content area, and the Page background displays correctly below the top of the content area.
I have looked for some consistent issue or characteristic that might let me predict when this problem occurs, but it ll looks rather random. It is repeatable, though - clearing caches and reloading the same page exposes the problem the same way a second time for the same page, in other words...
Is this a bug, or something subtle in placement or overlap of areas on the page that I haven't noticed? Anything to be careful with to avoid this problem?
Thanks anyone for any advice!

Hi Cyclosaurus and Apnewbie -
Thank you for your interest and replies. Here is a simple page that illustrates the problem I am having with a Page Background Gradient Fill on top of a Browser Background Solid Fill
http://web.mac.com/bccrowe/Troubleshooting/KyliesArt2.html
Here, I intend the page from the very top to the bottom of the defined content area to transition from pink to white as the eye moves left to right. The browser background is also pink to add some depth to the image - that's what you will see when the page loads.
Click on the child's drawing to present the image, and you should see the gradient disappear above the centerline of the second text box (above the comment area) when the page finished loading with the large drawing.
The Content area coincides precisely with the bottom of that second text box. I have tried to move the content area further below the text boxes so that they are not imtimate - no difference. I haven't tried to separate the text boxes, yet.
The two text boxes immediately above the content area are 45px x 630 px (18 pt text) and 30 px x 630 px (14 pt text) - they overlap by about 10 pix.
The content area that displays the thumbnail is 1008 px x 445 px (I thought that I set that at 877px...). I can try to set the content area to 877 px... Maybe this is the problem - maybe the Page Background shifts down to coincide with the bottom of the next page#2... Hmmm...
When you click on the thumbnail, the page#2 content area is 1008 px x 877 px.
In iWeb, this all looks the way I want it to.
Please diddle with the page, and ask me any new questions! I appreciate your insight and help. In reality, Kylie won't notice the background change, but my next objective is a corporate site - this child's site is my "training" site. iWeb is really pretty flexible and easy to use. If I there's a work-around or something to avoid, I can live with iWeb just fine.
Thanks again -
Brian

Page background missing

Hi All,
After a successful first website, I tried to create a new one.
While I've defined a gradient page background, about half of the pages show up correctly, but the other ones are missing this page background completely.
Does it sound familiar to one of you?
Many thanks in advance!
GJ

What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand? Where are you hosting the site and how are you uploading the files?
Note: There are some browsers that do not render the gradient backgrounds as created by iWeb. If you can create a jpg file of the background and use it then all browsers would see it the same.

Page Background and Border Question

Hi All
I am attempting to build my site using some of the techniques employed in the following site- http://www.rshomes.com/index.php.
One of the features I would like to use is the following:
The top and bottom stone border are pieced together and it looks as though some is part of the background and some is not. They seem to merge pretty well into one another.
I created a textured page background in Photoshop 500px x 500px and inserted it as the page background in Dreamweaver cs3. If I add the top border in this image it displays the top border again half way down the page. Repeat x cuts off the rest of my background.
Can anyone explain the proper way of getting this done?
Thanks!
Gc

In IE (and Firefox, and probably every browser) you can right click on the web page and select View Source to see the page code. Once you can see the code, you can identify the files that are involves, and can usually enter those file names in the browser url field using the url to view them. For instance, if the web site has a url of:
http://www.someurl.com
and you see in the source code that the css style file is pulled in using:
<link href="CSS/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
Then you can normally view/acquire that css file by typing...
http://www.someurl.com/CSS/stylesheet.css
into the browser url field.
This applies for just about any file you find references in html code.

Background Image Disappear When Refreshing

Hi,
Recently, I encounter a problem for building my application. I define my own background for my application in formsweb.cfg. The background load the first time I access the page, but it disappears when I press refresh button. So, can anyone tell me why and how can I going to fix it? Thank you.
Ramon

Ramon,
you don't specify a Forms version number, which makes it harder for us to help. It could be a problem in a Forms version that may be fixed in a subsequent patch. Without Forms release numer however, I cant tell. I suggest you contact customer support at metalink.oracle.com

Page background images show in preview but not after uploading

Hi -
I've built a page with a flash animation, and some other
minimal information below the movie. I have a page background image
that should be repeating horizontally behind everything. When I
preview it, all looks great! After I upload it to the actual site
the background images disappear. The code is all within the page.
Any ideas?

never mind... problem resolved.
my error in not checking my files over. oops.

How to create a full page background image that is fluid?

I'm creating a website for my portfolio, and one of the things I wanted to have is a full page background image that the div tags are in. I know there is a way to put it in via page properties, but that doesn't allow you to add CSS styles and I want the image to re-size with window changes. This requires putting the image in a div tag, but then it pushes the other div tags (such as my header section and navigation) so that they aren't over the image like I want. Is there a way to push the image div tag to the back so that the other div tags go over it.
I'm using HTML5, and it will also be a responsive design, but the fluid background is only for desktops.
I don't go on the adobe website often, so if you have an answer to this, or need more information to figure it out please email me at [email protected] and you'll get a faster reply than on this forum.
Thank you everyone for your help.

You should set this forum to email you on a reply.
I don't have a link in your question to determine how you are trying to do this, but here's a technique I have used:
Take a look at this website and see if it doesn't have what you are trying to do. You'll see the flag in the background and I have used opacity in the layers on top of it to keep the flag somewhat visible.
Now, what the flag does not do is re-size itself with the viewport (the browser window). But the flag is in a div that sits on top of the body. My code is accessible, but you're looking for the flag div and it's defined in CSS thusly:
#flag {
          width: 100%;
          background-image: url("../images/polish-flag.png");
          background-repeat: no-repeat;
          min-height: 900px;
Now, CSS3 adds a new attribute you can apply to the background image thusly:
     background-size: 100% 100%;
That would make your background fill the viewport.
I chose to not do that, because I was worried about versions of Internet Exploder before 10.

Full Page Background in Internet Explorer 8 and Below

I am currently trying to achieve a full page background image using the method found here: http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Scale_Background_image_to_browser_size-17590.html
Everything works fine in FF, Chrome, and Safari, but when I preview the page in IE 8, the image shows up as being centered in the page and does not stretch to fill the whole browser.
You can see this here: www.virtualeconomyonline.com
Here is the CSS:
html {
     background: #F4EEFE url(../images/grass.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
     -webkit-background-size: cover;
     -moz-background-size: cover;
     -o-background-size: cover;
     background-size: cover;
     overflow: auto;
body {
     -ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='../images/grass.jpg', sizingMethod='scale')";
     filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='../images/grass.jpg', sizingMethod='scale');
Does anyone have any ideas why it might not be filling the whole browser in IE 8 and under?

Hi
As the tutorial says, don't apply this to the html tag, (there is no reason to apply anything to the html tag any more).
Move all the css that you have to the body tag css.

What's the best way to save an 8.5 x 11 image for use as a page background in a PDF?

What's the best way to save an 8.5 x 11 image for use as a page background in a PDF? My goal is to have a relatively small final .pdf file size that includes numerous pages with full 8.5 x 11 images as backgrounds in the document. If I save at 8.5 x 11 and 72dpi (example), the image is not 8.5 x 11, and the quality is not good enough. I need help with size, dpi, and file format to save as before I place it in InDesign and then save as a .pdf.
Thanks,
Jim

Do exactly what I said then. Create the InDesign document of the required dimension, and chose whether it will be high quality print, or Interactive PDF. It really doesn't mater what format you bring the image into that document. It can be JPG, PNG, but I usually use native Photoshop PSD. The image does have to be of high enough resolution, but it can be many times bigger than iis required for the final export. (InDesign does not import the image, but rather references it on your hard drive.)
When you have placed your text and finished your page, then export it to PDF, but go through the tabs chosing suitable settings. If the image needs to be downsized, InDesign will do that at this stage while building the PDF.
If you can tell us how this presentation will be made (Projector, overhead projector, printed page etc. or just emailed to the end users) we can help you more with the final output settings.

Keynote 6.0 isnt loading master page background image

I made a kaynote in Keynote 5.3 and my coworker opened it in keynote 6.0 but the master pages background image fill was not loading and came up blank. On several other laptops with keynote 5.3, the background images loaded properly.
why and how do i fix this?

One of the most common causes of Mavericks problems appears to be If the hard drive was not wiped clean before installing Mavericks as remnants of incompatible software remain.
I would back up then clean install the OS.

Ibooks author, how do I get the standard book pages background into my document. I have published one book so far which does not display with a book pages background or options for font size.

ibooks author, how do I get the standard book pages background into my document. I have published one book so far which does not display with a book pages background or options for font size.

No on the book title, no problem there.
The issue is: my book pages appear as on white paper, no background that resembles a open book and also no option to change fonts. The book was created in iBooks author, there was a problem going with the "Publish" menu route so I was instructed my Apple to "export" the file and submit that. I think that's the problem after reading that iBooks author is a hybrid epub file.
Thanks for getting back to me.

How to create a scaled page background image?

Hi - does anyone know of a way of creating a page background image which will scale to fit any screen width? I've tried googling it, but get back so many complicated explanations that I don't know which to believe. Up until now I've resorted to creating a large image, usually around 1700 x 1400px, which just about works, but obviously smaller screens lose a lot of it. I'd really like to understand how to do this properly,
Thanks
SW

How far back in browser version history do you want to support?
IE9+ and any modern browser (like Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera) will work with the background-size:cover attribute:value in CSS3: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background-size.asp
For older browsers, you'll need a bit more complicated solution using javascript like this page: http://louisremi.github.io/jquery.backgroundSize.js/demo/

Black page background flashes grey when zooming on images

When I'm previewing my book on iPad I see that when I zoom in on an image (single image gallery widget) the page background which is black flashes grey momentarily. This happens on ipad but not when I preview on the mac.
Seems like the page wants to revert to the default white background everytime I click an image widget. Any way to set a book wide black background color? I currently create the page background colour by placing a black rectangle object in the background.
Thanks anyone for any tips!

It seems there's a default setting when zooming on images that fades the background from white to black (I guess Apple is presuming all pages are white)? Anyone who have pages with colour background notice this?
