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.

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.

CSS for background image not transfering from template to new page

I have a gradient .gif in my templates which suddenly no longer transfers from the template to a new page created from the template. Everything else about the template transfers. I'm using Dreamweaver CS5 on a Mac running OS 10.6. I've pasted the CSS from the template and the new page below. I've tried the usual voodoo--restart program, restart computer, repair permissions, delete preference file, delete personal configuration file.
CSS from Template:
.container {
    background-color: #ececec;
    background-image: url(../images/faux_column.png);
    background-repeat: repeat-y;
    height: 650px;
    width: 650px;
CSS from page created from Template looks to be the same, but is greyed out in the code, and the background-image entry is not present in the CSS styles inspector:
.container {
    background-color: #ececec;
    background-image: url(../images/faux_column.png);
    background-repeat: repeat-y;
    height: 650px;
    width: 650px;
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, I don't yet have a site where I can post the page. I'm new to this, and doing everything locally for now.
After careful rechecking, I found that the links for the template and the child were not the same, as you suspected. So I carefully changed the links to site root relative, which worked for the background CSS in my test image. I then did the same for all of the links to pages on my site, and checked that all were OK with Link Checker in DW. I guess that was a mistake, because now most of them don't work when tested in Firefox--I get the message File not found. Must be doing something wrong.

Insert Image to table from a Non Database Field

Hallo,
db- 9i EE R2
forms - 6i R2
OS - W2003
I have a requirement to upload Images to the database from forms.
I planned to keep the transaction data and the Images separately in different tables with a reference.
So, I created the Image field (BLOB) with a Non Database Field in the Form and use a button to upload the Image. (using READ_IMAGE_FILE).
I tried to insert the Image to the Actual Image table in PRE-INSERT Trigger at block level.
But I was not able to Insert the using reference method. (Cannot compile the PRE-INSERT)
INSERT INTO IMAGE_TB (ID,IMAGE)
VALUES (IMAGE_SEQ.NEXTVAL, :ITINERARY_MAP.IMAGE);
So, Please help me to insert a image to different table from a Non Database Field?
Thanks

I don't think it will work with a non-db-item. But you could create a separate block based on your image_tb-table, use read_image_file on the then db-based-column and then simpy issue a commit_form.

Images in tables from FM to RH

I posted this to the FM Integration section but I wonder if it has any visibility here. I am re-posting here since it appears to be a RH issue. Why are images not imported from FM to RH if they are within a table? This is the case whether FM is linked or if FM docs are imported. There does not appear to be any mechanism in the project settings to control this behavior. Is it a bug? flawed design? Something I am missing?
I also did not see any reference to this issue in other forum topics. Sorry if I missed it.
I am using FM9 RH8 as part of TCS2. I don't think upgrading would solve the problem so let's skip that as a solution.
Thanks for any insights.

It may well be a RoboHelp issue, but it's one that is related specifically to Frame working with RoboHelp. So your initial post is your best bet. Most likely, folks that are visiting this forum category are Frame clueless, like me.
Cheers... Rick

Background Image In Table Cell

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or missing here. This is the first time that I'm using an image as a background. I've made a table with a 100% width with 3 colums and 3 rows. The left and right table cells have been merged and the 3 middle rows are at a width of 938 pixels. I have cropped the images correctly. The right column lines up perfectly, but the left column does not line up like it's supposed to with the image. You can take a look at it by going to http://www.wattsconcepts.com/new
Here is the code below if anyone wants to take a look at it. Any help in solving this is greatly appreciated. I am using Dreamweaver CS5.5
Thank you for your time!

Also, you don't need 3 columns for this website. 1 column and 3 rows should do. Also, never use 100% for <table> width. It's bad practice as you're making your site fluid which will render your site to malfunction on some browsers
And you had the entire 3 sections as 1 image as your CSS body background-image. This is bad practice. Crop only what you want for each section, never give the entire merged site as 1 image.
Try the code I've given you above and it should work perfect.
A quick tip: Try learning and using DIV with pure CSS styling instead of tables. Tables are a thing of the past. You could just google it and you have tons of free resources on how to create a site using DIV. Also, there's a beautiful tutorial posted by one of our senior members here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_html5_pt2.html that explains how to create HTML5 site with Pure CSS styling using DIV tags.

Filter spry table from repeater list

Using Dreamweaver, I am looking to find out how to link a
spry repeat list (Select Drop-Down) to a Spry table.
I have created a repeat list (Select Drop-Down) using a
distinct filter on a field in my XML data base :
The XML database is:
var ds2 = new
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("Data/NetballDatafeed190401.xml",
"NetballList/NetballProducts/SubType",{sortOnLoad:"SubType",sortOrderOnLoad:"as
cending",distinctOnLoad:true});
The drop down list is created by
<div spry:region="ds2">
<select name="select" spry:repeatchildren="ds2">
<option value="{SubType}">{SubType}</option>
</select>
</div>
I have a table which I want to show only the values on the
table where the subType that matches the value from the select
list.
This data is populated by:
var ds1 = new
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("Data/NetballDatafeed190401.xml",
"NetballList/NetballProducts",{sortOnLoad:"ProductPrice",sortOr
derOnLoad:"ascending"});
and is created by
div spry:region="ds1">
<table>
<tr>
<th>ProductName</th>
<th>ProductPrice</th>
<th>ImageURL</th>
<th>SubType</th>
</tr>
<tr spry:repeat="ds1">
<td>{ProductName}</td>
<td>{ProductPrice}</td>
<td><img src="{ImageURL}"/></td>
<td>{SubType}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
I believe that I need to create a spry:Choose statement in
the drop down list which runs a function that filters the DS1 XML
data.
I beleive that The function need to look like
var myFilterFunc = function(dataSet, row, rowNumber)
some funtion here that filters ds1 on {SubType}.......
I will then need to run ds1.filter(myFilterFunc);
Any pointers or examples most welcome.

to do the the spry:if="'statement" needs to be in the
<tr> rows you want to filter on

How can I stop the login pop-up box for iCloud from repeating?

I don't use iCloud so I click Cancel in the iCloud login box when I start up my iPad Mini. But this popup box won't take Cancel for an answer and it reappears at least three more times, every 10-15 seconds or so, interrupting what I'm doing - really annoying. Can I stop this pop-up box from repeating like this, and if so, how?

Ah ok that all makes sense. You are correct that would turn off Find my iPhone. Based off the additional info you provided, it seems to me that the password needs to be updated. What I recommend doing next is entering the password when it prompts you to. If the password is incorrect in the settings then Find my iPhone may not be able to find the phone because it does not have the password authenticated.
Then you can turn off any iCloud features you choose not to use with this article and leave only Find my iPhone enabled.

Background image has dissapeared

I have noticed that my homepage background image is missing
from the banner area. The text "Welcome to Easley Mitsubishi should
have an image behind it. That image is on the remote server and it
will not display. I checked the code on the homepage and it
correctly references the image. I also checked the code to see if
maybe I had accidentally set the background of a preceding
<p> or <td> or <th> or somthing as black and I
can find nothing. Anyone got any ideas...as this is happening
repeatedly and getting really annoying. The banner which should be
seen is visible at the top of the page in the second link.

Mail creates background image to some incoming emails

In our business we use a signature that is a jpeg attachment. I received an email from a co-worker and his email is all unreadable because the Mail app added as a background image the signature from another co-worker.
The visually unreadable email shows a repeated image of the other co-worker's signature image, they work in separate locations, and the source email is not showing this, we are experiencing this type of issue only with our Mac's Mail client.
In our iPhones and Windows PC as well as the online webclient we don't have this issue.
It seems that the problem is generated by the Mac's Mail app, like for some reason the emails from our company are identified to use this repeated image as a background.
How can we avoid this? Any solution? Ideas? thanks

Is MAIL on your computer set to load HTML automatically or do you have to use the 'Load Images' button for each message.
If corporate mail admins thought about the load that comes with allowing jpeg sigs, coupled with the fact that it is impossible to extract any contact related info from them, they'd make sure they weren't allowed.

Adding Background Image

Can someone help me figure out how to add an image in a Pages 09 file to be used as a background image?
Coming from Word I could put an image in a document and then type over it, format it, etc.
Can this be done in Pages 09?
Thanks!

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.

7970 Background image

I have 7970 phone with a few choices of background images to choose from. I have tried a few times to do this but have no luck - I am trying to find a way in which to make the background images flick to another image after a specified time. Is this something that can be done and if so is it implemented from the .xml file or setting that is applied when converting the file/s to .png. Any info would be appreciated.
Regards

You can easilly create the images yourself, here is the link

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;">
