stop background image tiling

#1

Hi Folks,

Is there any way of stopping a background image tiliting I'd like to place an image in just in one cell - not behind the whole page and be able to write over the top of it. Whenever I place an image it automatically repeats itself and the cell expands.

Any help would be great.

Cheers

Dave

Cut code below and paste between <head> tags of your pages code or you
can link it to an external style sheet. If you do the lata then dont
include the lines <style type="text/css") of </style>

<style type="text/css")
..mybgimage {
background-image: url(images/bg_image.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
</style>

Attach the style, mybgimage to the table or td cell where you want the
bg image to appear. ie <td class="mybgimage">This is where the non
tiling bg image will appear</td>

Change 'images' to the name of the folder in which YOUR bg image is
stored and 'bg_image.gif' to the name of YOUR bg image.

Thanks,

but, I can't get that to work. I may be doing something stupid here
(quite probably) or it may be because I'm on a mac.

I've pasted the code in and the image still tile themsleves.

I'm afraid I don't know thw first thing about code and I guess I'm a
relative newcomer to Dreamweaver

Any suggestions?

If you have set the code and page up corrcetly this shouldnt happen.

Yup, paste your pages code here and your bg css style. You may have left
something critical out, or I may have

"bg css style"

Not sure what that is. Which may mean you've already identified the problem.

I understand using css styles to change text colour, size, etc., but i've never used it for anything other than text.

Dave, if you know how to do the above then setting up a non-repeating
background image is really no different.

If you are still having problems getting this to work then paste the
code to your page and the stylesheet you are using here.

Its difficult to say where the problem may lie unless I can see the code
and styles you are using.

Usually its something quite simple.

Thanks.

I've cracked it - all in ccs style sheets. This morning I though I'd never be able to do that. Now I realise how simple it is.

Thanks again for your help.
