Why doesn't a body tag background image show up in a browser?

I've set a gif image to repeat as a background in my body tag and I can't get it to preview in a browser. I see the background fine when doing a live view in DW. I've tryed other images and none will preview in a browser. I've tryed to trouble shoot everything I can think of why this is not working and at this point I'm dumb-founded. Any help here would be most appreciated, I'm swamped with work and I really need to get this file off for client approval. Thanks in advance for any response - Vanessa

THANK YOU! !!Yeah, that wasn't the entire code, but your tip to look at the path /assets/ steered me in the right direction.
This is what I originally had:
background: #FCFCFB url( /_assets/bck.gif) repeat-x left top;
when I added the two decimals the problem was fixed
background: #FCFCFB url(../_assets/bck.gif) repeat-x left top;

Thanks again!

Why doesn't version 17.0.0.169 show up in IE11 8.1 64-bit Manage Add-Ons?

KB3044132 shows as installed for Flash Player update, and the Control Panel Flash Player icon for 32-bit shows 17.0.0.169 installed (I have 64-bit and 32-bit), but the Manage Add-Ons for Shockwave is Enabled and showing version 17.0.0.134! When I check the version using Adobe it only shows 17.0.0 and not the important part, so I cannot tell if Adobe detects 17.0.0.169 or 17.0.0.134! I think I need to know if IE11 64-bit has 17.0.0.169 also. Please advise because Microsoft technical support says to contact Adobe about this. Please delete my entry in Adobe general forums, Bridge general discussion as michaelh94875078. I did not see Flash Player on the list of communities provided during my first post.

It occurs to me that maybe Microsoft will not allow their 17.0.0.169 KBitem to go out until their next update on the second Tuesday of May for their convenience and reputation! I want any update for Flash Player to be installed immediately for security. That is why I tend to use Firefox with NoScript and Web of Trust when I use a Google search. I will be watching the next Microsoft update to note if the KBitem it said was not appropriate for my computer - goes in!

Hi michaelh94875078,
I'm sorry, I misread your previous post and thought it had been installed. From my experience with Microsoft Updates is that some times they depend on some update being installed. I'll run Windows Updates and install all updates, then run Windows Updates again after all updates finish installing. Sometimes it finds new updates that weren't there before, and sometimes it doesn't. You can try that route, or download the Microsoft update posted at the bottom of the Flash Player Issues | Windows 8 page. Download the one that corresponds with your OS version. You may want to bookmark this tech note for future reference in case Microsoft Updates fails to detect the update is available for your system.

Without more information, speculation is a waste of time. At the least tell us what you do, what the results are, and how that result differs from your expectation. Then tell us what steps you have taken to resolve the issue, and what the results of taking those steps was.

You mean font previews themselves in the list? You can set the size and disable via Type > Font Preview Size.

Why doesn't the alt tag work in firefox to open a description of an image on mouseover

In IE, when I roll my mosue over an image, it gives a tooltip description of the image contained in the html alt tag. Why doesn't this work in Firefox?

The "alt" tag is meant to show text when the image isn't loaded, the "title" tag is meant for a description of an image on cursor hover. IE has been doing that wrong for many years, where Firefox follows W3C standards. A properly coded webpage should have both "alt" and "title" tags.

Why PhotoBooth can't get the background images to work properly on the picture

Why PhotoBooth can get the background images to work properly on the picture, is it because too much luminosity in the environment or too little? I have tried everything and nothing works.
<Re-Titled By Host>

Might try this...
Go to System Preferences > Universal Access and down in the Display: section make sure that the Enhance contrast: slider is all the way to left to Normal, or more to the right for less Contrast.
Go to System Preferences > Accessibility in 10.8.x,and down in the Display: section make sure that the Enhance contrast: slider is all the way to left to Normal, or more to the right for less Contrast.

Why do I not see the background image with html5 boilerplate

hello,
I downloaded the html5 boilerplate
And in the main.css I made this :
body {
    font: 16px/26px Helvetica, Helvetica Neue, Arial;
    background-image: url(../img/background.jpg)
and also in the normalize.css I set this :
body {
    margin: 0;
    background-image: url(../img/background.jpg)
But in IE10 I still do not see the background image.
Can anyone tell me what I did wrong ?

Hello
You need to run your VI once. Wire the Select Signals express VI to your DAQ Assistant and run the VI once (this allows the signal names to propegate).

When viewing some websites my desktop background image shows as the page background...why...and how do I fix this?

It seems that the current version of Firefox does not understand how to process style sheets. Instead of the stylesheet background color or image, I am now seeing my PC's desktop background image. This does not happen with IE or Chrome. When checking the error console, I get "Warning: Unknown property 'zoom'. Declaration dropped. Source File: http://trustserve.net/themes/ModernBlue/templates_cached/EN/global.css Line: 4"
I am not trying to zoom.
Any ideas on how to fix this. I can't use Firefox with these problems and I really liked it prior to these problems.

I thought I had it disabled. I enabled aero and then disabled to be sure, and still have the problem, but that was a very good idea. Thanks.
The problem started shortly after I installed two new programs, a graphics program, and an anti-virus. I just removed both programs and restarted the computer and that seems to have solved the problem. Your idea about Aero gave me the idea that one, or both of these programs changed some of my system settings. I am now going to install them, one at a time, and see if the transparency problem returns. I'll post my findings.

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; }

Why don't any of my gallery images show as hero?

For the life of me I can't work out why none of my images on my gallery page show up in the lightbox. I just get a blank space where the image is supposed to be in both preview mode and when I preview site in browser. All my thumbnails are loaded in there and do show as thumbnails but it's only when I actually click on one of the thumbanils that the hero image will show in preview or browser.
I can't find any help in the web at all for this.

I'm new to Muse and having this same problem. The gallery previews fine and exports to html but when it is loaded up to my server only the thumbnails appear. Frustrating.
I've been using the Thumbnails slideshow widget. When I load images in the large preview it automatically populates the thumbnails so their doesn't seem to be any point in doing the suggestion from Sachin. In fact when I try that it only loads everything twice.
Here is the site, if it is working I might have managed to fix it. http://www.italyphototour.co.nz
Interestingly, if the site is published to businesscatalyst.com it works fine. So is something missing from my local host provider: http://www.webdrive.co.nz?

APEX generates the <tt>span</tt> element for report cell contents when HTML Cell Attributes are specified. Remove them from your code:style="width: 533px; height: 59px; background-image: url(/i/images/mypicture.png);"
Also, quotes are unneccessary in CSS URLs.
3. PRE ELEMENT TEXT i gave the below code
<span style="padding:120px;"></span>
This is applying padding to an empty <tt>span</tt>. The property is better applied somewhere else. What exactly are you trying to achieve here?
Images are showing but getting the below code on images how to suppress the below code
colspan="1" rowspan ="1" align="right valign ='middle'
The main cause of this is probably the unnecessary <tt>span</tt> in (2) above, but <tt>align="right valign ='middle'</tt> is a syntax error. Where is this coming from? The <tt>align="right"</tt> needs a terminating double quote.

Only background image showing up when using DVI - RVA

I'm trying to connect my macbook pro to my TV...I'm using the yellow RVA video cable... When I connect the cables my background image will show up on the TV, but none of my icons will. The image just stays there no matter what I open up on the screen.
Andy suggestions?

Are you using 'Extended Desktop' (sounds like you are) or 'Mirroring' (in which case the same image should show on both screens) ?
