Hello I'm attempting to have an internal style sheet within a template define a background image to be used within a td tag. I'm using Dreamweaver MX. The image appears nowhere: not in dreamweaver layout nor in any browser. I've tested this particular style with other settings and they seem fine, and I am stumped as to what troubleshooting steps to take next. Any advice would be greatly appreicated. A page that accesses the template can be found at: www.bucerias.com/test/index.htm Thanks in advance for any assistance. |
it to appear in? You appear to have various definitions for TD and you are
trying to use css and format the table with html at the same time.
In this line, <TD bgcolor=#deeeee colspan=6><IMG height=1 src="" width=1>,
you have not specified the source of the file. I know it's just a spacer but
it is superfluous. If you want to use css for this you have to define the
class and not use html i.e. <td class="td001">
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Untitled Document</TITLE>
</HEAD>
The head tag is in the wrong place. Move it down to the correct place
before the body tag.
Try and get into the habit of using lower case as well. When you have
learned a bit more and step up to xhtml you will find that uppercase won't
validate.
I haven't been able to look any further than this yet but no doubt one of
the experts will explain things a lot better then me.

Thanks for your response.
The TD with the class applied is located in line 55; or as shown here
within a table:
<table width="700" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td><img src="../image/address.gif" width="688" height="66"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="backgroundimage"><!-- TemplateBeginEditable
name="flash_region" -->flash_region<!-- TemplateEndEditable --></td>
</tr>
</table>
A couple of your comments confused me (easy to do...so bear with me):
I am using HTML and CSS to define the page at the same time. I can
definitely see how it would be easier to just use CSS. Is it a
potential problem to have two td styles, even though one defines a
background image, and the other is just a standard style? Basically,
should the definition still work anyway?
With the head tag, I have it opening at line 4 and closing at line 47,
after the title declaration, style and javascript declaration. Do you
see it appearing to close earlier? I'm a little confused about moving
it down to right before the body tag...as everything that is included
within it needs to be...does that question make sense?
Also, on the all caps...I have written this in lowercase. Is it
possible the source would open in uppercase elsewhere?
Thanks for your help-
