DreamWeaver 4 help needed

Hi, DW geeks

I'm trying to get a background image.jpg on a sub-index page to not repeat.

It's a full page originally created in FP but that shouldn't matter, I think?

So, I try to apply CSS New Style to .name and select Make Custom Style (class) defined in This Document Only (for internal type).

In Style Definition for .name, I chose Background and enter the Background Image and for Repeat I chose 'no-repeat'.

But this doesn't work - it still repeats (tiles) both in the design view and in browser preview.

How do I make the background image not repeat / tile?

Thank you!

I have no idea how to do it in dreamweaver, but below is the actual css code for it...maybe you can find whats not working by comparing the two.

body {
background-image : url("back.jpg");
background-repeat : no-repeat
}

Hi golfcart

Thanks, yes that's the same code DW gives me, but it's still not working ;/

I made sure it's located inside the <body> tags but I read in the DW4 Bible that it won't work in any but NS6 browser? Even tho, it still tiles in the design view, too.

I'm going to try putting it in a table / layer next, but nested tables will be another problem maybe....

Put it on your head with the style comands...works for me anyway.

<head>

<style type="text/css">
body {
background-image : url("back.jpg");
background-repeat : no-repeat
}
</style>

</head>

But it should be able to go in your .css the way that golfcart said.

I had to re-read you question. To do this in DW....

Text, CSS Styles, New Styles--click the radio button beside "Redifine HTML Tag" then in the tag drop down box select "body." Check the radio button next to "this Document Only."

Click OK and name your .css file.

Select your background and options... click OK and that should do it.

Cab - You Rock

That's it! Now I can prolly tweak it so it expands / contracts in the page.

Thanks!

When you start a page in FP2000 it integrates a code at the top of the page's html. I don't realy know what it does but it might affect some operations if you start using dreamW on the same page.

It doesn't seem to have become a problem here.

Hi Daemon

I always use Code & Design view and the FP code is quite noticeable. There were no conflicts at all with the code, at least with the pages I worked on.

I was very happy about that

Every web WYSIWYG program puts its own name in the meta tag.
