Repeating Background Image

Hey guys,
I've been coding websites for like 4 years now and have used CSS styling long enough for it to effect the way my brain handles coding concepts. Anyway, I also happen to have a CS minor and have been playing with Java again lately. I was wondering if there is any way to make an image (ImageIcon or whatever) repeated for a background for like a JPanel or something. I imagine if there isn't any predefined function for that then it would require some spiffy paintComponent (or paint) code.
But all i'm really trying to do is make a background that is a repeated image. Do i just need to make a really long (or wide) image and hope that the user doesn't exceed that dimension? or is there some way to make an image repeat as a background?
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Awesome,
I've read into this some and looked at a few tutorials. This definitely looks like something I was looking for. Would this be your suggestion for a background (that's only repeated on the x-axis) of a list of JButtons.
An good example of the effect i'm trying to get is in NetBeans (5.5). (according to default settings) Just under the list of files you're currently editing, there is a list of buttons ( "back", "forward", "find previous occurrence", "find selection", etc). This list of buttons (and it's background) is the effect that I'm going for.
My plan (which is very VERY html-ish) was to have two border images (left and right) and then have the repeated background in the middle with the JButtons (and their transparent background) on top of the repeated background.
It looks like it's definitely possible to use TexturePaint for this, but I just wanted to make sure that it was the suggested method. Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

Repeating Background Image Download Question

When you use a repeating background image does the browser
only download it once and then repeat it on their computer?
I wanted to use a gradient background image so I figure to
cut down the dowload size I'd just take a 1 pixel wide slice and
repeat it, does that work?

It works perfectly, I use Photoshop to make gradients and
then insert the psd onto a page, where you get a conversion dialog,
i select 100 for the jpeg quality and uncheck the sharpen color
edges checkbox, you can use gifs if you want, then in your
stylesheet use background-repeat: repeat:x;
or y if you want to have a right to left gradient.
Look at this site i am working on, it uses alot of PS
gradients, all with repeat-x

Best practice for Spark repeating background image in a SkinnableContainer?

In my old Flex 3.5 code I would accomplish this by dropping an Image into a Canvas and hitting the Canvas with some css style stuff to get the repeat. The Image tag had a source property that would take a web address so I could dynamically grab different images from the web based on some conditions. Little bit more trouble with Flex 4.5 and Spark but I'm trying to get there.
Here Adobe docs explain how to *embed* a background image:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS422719A4-7849-4921-AF39-57FF567B483B.html#WS063B0 491-B7AB-4b00-A39F-E44310BCB0E0
They use a BitmapFill object in the skin.

    <s:Rect id="background" left="3" top="3" right="3" bottom="3" alpha=".25">
        <s:fill>
            <s:BitmapFill source="@Embed(source='../../assets/myImage.jpg')"/>
        </s:fill>
    </s:Rect>
Problem is I need to do this without embedding the image. In my old code I grabbed the image from web (set source property on Image tag to web address). What's the best practice for achieving this with a skinnable container? The BitmapFill object used above won't take a web address for a source.
Thanks in advance.

Use BitmapImage with a fillMode of repeat:
<s:BitmapImage source="http://www.google.com/intl/en_com/images/srpr/logo2w.png" width="100%" height="100%" scaleMode="stretch" fillMode="repeat" />

Repeating background images in tables

I am working on a web page with a background image in a
table. I have also inserted a table inside this same table to
include some text. When I preview this in Netscape/Firefox and
increase the text size a couple of times from the browsers menu,
the table with the image starts repeating as the text increases in
size. I don't mind the text changes sizes, but is there a way to
stop the table from repeating the background image? This is a
problem since the repeating image looks terrible.

On that page, change this -
</head>
to this -
<style type="text/css">
table.special { background-repeat:no-repeat; }
</style>
</head>
and then change your table tag from this -
<table width="100%" height="606" border="0" align="center"
cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0">
to this -
<table width="100%" border="0" align="center"
cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0" class="special">
(there is no table height attribute - it's invalid HTML)
> b, be too small, dependent upon which browser they are
viewed in.
Impossible. A background image will not change size in
different browsers.

Stop Background Image in Table from Repeating

Since CS4 has unfortunately removed the button for Background Image for tables, I found a neat work-around on the internet: select the cell, then open the Tag Inspector panel, select the Attributes button and Show list view, and click inside "background" and use the folder icon to navigate to the background image. However, I can't stop the image from repeating. I've tried everything I can think of. Can anyone help me? No code responses, please. Thanks!

Well, in that case, the answer is no.
Quite honestly, if you're capable of searching for an answer on the internet, and using the Tag Inspector to add a background image, you should be capable of following simple instructions to handle CSS.
To add a non-repeating background image to a table cell (or any element, for that matter), you use CSS. Create a CSS class like this in the head of the page:
<style type="text/css">
.background {
background-image: url(images/bg.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
</style>
Select the table cell, and then choose background from the Class menu in the Property inspector.

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 do I change the background image for a single tab on the navigation bar

I'm creating a movie website for TDKR and for the navigation bar, I intend to have a different character for each tab. However, I'm having trouble putting a single image each separate tab. Instead one image appears on each of the tabs. Here's an example of the source and CSS.
<td width="200"><ul id="navigation"><br />
      <li><a href="../pages/index.html">Home</a></li><br />
      <li><a href="../pages/cast.html">Cast</a></li><br />
      <li><a href="../pages/pictures.html">Pictures</a></li><br />
      <li><a href="../pages/soundtrack.html">Music</a></li><br />
      <li><a href="../pages/interview.html">Interviews</a></li><br />
      <li><a href="../pages/links.html">Links</a></li><br />
    </ul>
    </td>
#navigation {
          list-style-type: none;
          padding: 0px;
          margin: 0px;
#navigation li {
          margin: 0px;
          padding: 0px;
          list-style-type: none
#navigation li a:link, #navigation li a:visited {
          display: block;
          width: 200px;
          height: 100px;
          text-decoration: none;
          text-align: center;
          line-height: 100px;
          font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
          font-weight: bold;
          -webkit-transition: 1000ms ease;
          -moz-transition: 1000ms ease;
          -ms-transition: 1000ms ease;
          -o-transition: 1000ms ease;
          transition: 1000ms ease;
          color: #648AAE;
          background-repeat: no-repeat;
          background-image: url(../Images/gifs/Batman-still-2.gif);
          background-position: center bottom;
          text-transform: uppercase;
          letter-spacing: 0.79em;
          border-radius: 5px;
#navigation li a:focus, #navigation li a:hover, #navigation li a:active {
          color: #000000;
          background-image: url(../Images/gifs/Batman-animation-2.gif);
          background-repeat: no-repeat;
          background-position: center bottom;
          background-color: #454545;
          border-radius: 25px;
So, how do I put a single image on each tab (home, cast, pictures, etc). Thank you for your help in advance.

Assign a class to the item and use CSS to apply an image as in
<li><a href="../pages/index.html" class="home;">Home</a></li><br />
<li><a href="../pages/cast.html">Cast</a></li><br />
<li><a href="../pages/pictures.html">Pictures</a></li><br />
<li><a href="../pages/soundtrack.html">Music</a></li><br />
<li><a href="../pages/interview.html">Interviews</a></li><br />
<li><a href="../pages/links.html">Links</a></li><br />
and the CSS
#navigation li a:link.home, #navigation li a:visited.home {
     background-image: url(../Images/gifs/Batman-still-2.gif);

Complete page and css code below (scroll down)
All you should be concerned with at this moment to get the background image to appear in the top level anchor is the css style below:
/* Menu items that have a submenu have the class designation MenuBarItemSubmenu and are set to use a background image positioned on the far left (95%) and centered vertically (50%) */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarItemSubmenu
background-color: #000;
background-image: url(../rot.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: left top;
I've added the background-postion because presumably you want it to appear flush left. This overides the out-of-the-box setting which positions it 95% far left.
Here is the code and css:

Background image in a div?

I know how to use css to place a background image inside a
div. However, I would like that image to be contextual, and be
differrent depending what the current page is. As an hypothetical
example, I would like a non-repeating background image of an apple
inside <div class="content"> when the page apples.html is
open, but then an image of a banana would be the background image
inside <div class="content"> for bananas.html.
If there is a way to place background images on the fly,
directly in the html, that would be the better solution for this
novice.
Thanks for any help!
r

Do it this way -
<style type="text/css">
div.content { background-repeat:no-repeat; }
#apples div.content {
background-image:url(/images/apple.jpg); }
#banana div.content {
background-image:url(/images/banana.jpg); }
</style>
(put this in the head of each page (or put the rules into a
site-wide
external stylesheet)
Now, on the apples page, change this -
<body>
to this -
<body id="apples">
and on the bananas page, change it to this -
<body id="bananas">
Get it?

Flex4 How to set background image in Vgroup..?

       </s:VGroup>

With Regards.,

@Peter
Yes! This works well now. Now I can get repeating background images directly in the code as well as in my CSS style sheets. This looks good and helps me a lot as there are lots of occasions for me using this. I've gotten used to having repeating image backgrounds in HTML and missed that in Flex 3. This feature alone makes moving to Flex 4 worthwhile.
This works fine for me:
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
               xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
               xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">

    <s:BorderContainer width="100%" height="100%"
         backgroundImage="@Embed('images/bkg/grey_grid.gif')"
         backgroundImageFillMode="repeat" >

        <s:BitmapImage id="legalPad"
              source="@Embed('images/bkg/legalPad.gif')"
              fillMode="repeat"
              left="40" top="100"
              width="825" height="200" />
    </s:BorderContainer>
</s:Application>
Here are the images I used:
grey_grid.gif
legalPad.gif

Using Background Image In Dreamweaver

Good evening.
I'm using a non-repeating, centered background image in Dreamweaver. But i'd like it to self-adjust its size depending upon what monitor size its viewing it. Can someone provide some coding for help with this???
Here's where i'm at thus far..
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<link href="welcome10.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
</head>
<body style="background-color: #000; background-position: center top; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-image: url(images/girls-bg9.jpg); background-attachment: fixed;">
<div id="wrapper">
          <div id="container">
    </div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
css -
@charset "utf-8";
/* CSS Document */
#wrapper{
          width: auto;
          height: 1600px;
#container {
          background-color: #FFF;
          height: 200px;
          margin-right: 100px;
          margin-left: 100px;
          margin-top: 100px;
thanks guys, and gals...

Background-size would do the trick, but keep in mind, most CSS3 does not function in IE9 (though this will), and won't at all in IE8 and down. If you need it to work in those browsers, the best way to do it would be with javascript. I've used the script available on this site with some success...

Wrapper div background image won't appear in browser...

Hi All,
Here's a link to the test site:
http://www.davidcoshdesign.com/test/tee
If you go to 'About' – top right nav, there should be two vertical 'lines' running all the way down the page(s), either side of the main body copy.
All the pages are created from the same template.
It's a repeating background image in the #wrapper div. I can see it DW, but not in any browsers.
I guess it's not linking somehow... but can't figurte it out.
Also, the layouts on the 'Partners and 'Philosophy' pages 'jump' when you go to them. Again, I guess there's an error in the code somewhere...
Any help with these two things would be very much appreciated.

Change this -
#wrapper {
    background-repeat: repeat;
    background-image: url(assets/images/columnedge.jpg);
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 14px;
    font-style: normal;
    line-height: 19px;
    font-weight: normal;
    color: #999;
    text-decoration: none;
    width: 980px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    margin-right: auto;
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    margin-left: auto;
    height: auto;
to this -
#wrapper {
    background-repeat: repeat;
    background-image: url(assets/images/columnedge.jpg);
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 14px;
    font-style: normal;
    line-height: 19px;
    font-weight: normal;
    color: #999;
    text-decoration: none;
    width: 980px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    margin-right: auto;
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    margin-left: auto;
    height: auto;
   overflow:hidden;
You need to clear the floats so that div#wrapper will contain the contents. To fix the jumping, add this to your CSS -
html { overflow-y:scroll; }

Creating adjustable-size rounded box background image for Moomenu

I have a Moomenu with a horizontally repeating background image:
#moo_sk_menu a:hover{
color: #ffffff;
background-image: url(../images/moomenu1_png32.png);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
However, I would like to create a menu with a rounded box image on mouseover. The above strategy won't work, however, as it is simply a 1 px wide rectangle repeating on the x axis. A rounded box as background won't adjust for the different widths of the menu items. There must be some workaround using three images and nested divs; however I am not sure how to proceed...

/**CSS ROUNDED CORNERS for Mozilla, Webkit, Linux, Opera, IE9**/

-moz-border-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
-khtml-border-radius: 10px;
border-radius: 10px;
