CSS - Dreamweaver Bg Images

Hi everyone,
I am having a very difficult problem using Dreamweaver and I would be very grateful for any advice given. I recently created a simple website using layers and when I previewed it, it looked great and it had no reported browser errors. I had several people view it and only one of my friends had trouble seeing it. He said that the layers were out of position and sometimes overlaped. We both were using Explorer 6.0. The only difference between our computers is that he has a 21" monitor while I have a 17". Would that effect the web page design? Why are the layers not positioning correctly? If anyone needs to view the website it can be seen at http://sky.prohosting.com/lovecare Please help me!

Thanks,
Steve

Hi there,
Wondering if you can help me ... I have a site that was coded for me and when i open up the index.html pages in code and design view in Dreamweaver - the items in the sidebar (coded with css and using the ul and li tags) don't show up .... allowing me to only edit the text in code view and not design view.

When previewing it in browser it is fine. I am a visual person so would really like to be able to see the text/images and elements in design view.

perhaps small code is missing? or settings in dreamweaver... i have tried everything and can;t find

Please help!

Thanks

I have all pages that follow a CSS Rule. These are Dev Boxes that I created for my site.

One of the text on one of the pages is 1700 pixels height the others are only 700. When I created a rule for all pages but when I added the text on the one with 1700 pixels it stretched out all the boxes on all other pages as well. I want to break that one from the others so that it does not format all my pages like that one. How do I do it. I do I keep the CSS code style but on that one in particular change the rule to only allow that one to be 1700 pixels long.

Basically I don't want to have to recode the CSS page but I want that particular code to be just for that one page and keep the others with the 700 pixels height.

Please give me a simple explanation on how to break the rule on that page so that I can manually adjust it for that one page.

thanks

Well this isn't too much of a problem basically my form displays one way in dreamweaver and another when I preview the site any idea why its pretty annoying.

heres how it looks in dreamweaver



and heres it in a browser

Hi,

I have been working on a project for a friend and all was working well in IE. I tested the site in Netscape and Opera and found that the CSS positioning i was using (DIVs) caused inconsistent layout accross the browsers.

I used absolute positioning instead of relative, which seemed to solve all my problems.....not so. Now, for some reason, the pop-up menu appears behind the main content layer. I am quite new to using CSS for layout so forgive me if the answer to my problem is simple. Google (my usual saviour) proved to be of little help.

Any help would be welcome, thanks.

I'm sure all of you have stumbled onto this at some point if you use Macromedia Dreamweaver.

You're working on a CSS-driven layout and it looks perfect in multiple web browsers, but in the actual Dreamweaver design edit mode the page appears garbled and elements are out of place or you can't even see them. While it's not really a problem for you to update and work with the site, it would certainly be difficult for someone not familiar with it to change content and make updates.

Does anyone know of a plug-in that would resolve this problem?

Or perhaps does someone know what attributes or elements most often cause the problem in Dreamweaver?

Hello I am a Novice in web design that is trying to make his way. I am build a website for my company and trying to make it compatible with many devices. I have chosen to Use html and css.

This is my issue. I have a side bar menu (nav) and I have a div (menuebar) set to 125 by 500px css property's: Height, width, margin top, margin bottom, float:left
Then i have another div inside that one use for my LINK or Button. div (menulink) set to 110 x 28px css property's: Height, width,Padding : Left5px, Right 5px top 2px and bottom 2px , Font Ariel.

I want this div (menulink) to highlight on a mouse over or hover the entire div like this website has there colorful menu bar. w w w DOT entheosweb DOT com/dreamweaver/default.asp the bar i am talking about starts with teal, green... ect
If you notice you can select the text with in that rollover. so when I use a rollover i cant see any option to do that. Now I have learn how to do a " a hover" css with text links but it dose not hightlight the whole div container.

I have tried a behavior on the div tag and that works but dose not disappear on mouse out. I have tried many combinations of multiple behaviors and single combinations with all the option with in them. No such luck....

I will thank any one advance who can help me with this.

Ps i don't want to use rollovers because of how big the web site is even with PS actions set up to speed up the process of editing each roll over img.

When using the following code, the "Design" preview does not display correctly within Dreamweaver MX 2004, but it does display correctly in all browsers.

Does anyone know if this a problem with Dreamweaver or my CSS code.

Update:- removing "position:absolute" from #infoPanel fixes the design preview problem, but this isn't really a solution, as I need to position absolutely.
The only problem I've got is the design preview in Dreamweaver. I am happy with the final browser output, but the layout is awful within Dreamweaver.

Thanks
Matthew

Hi,

I have created a accordion menu using a spry widget built into Dreamweaver CS3. However I want to amend this so that the menu is collapsed until the user clicks on a category.

Do I have to amend the CSS or the javascript to make it collapsed to begin with?

Any help would be appericated.


Thanks

I have a rule called #MainContent. Now I want to change this rule for just one page so I duplicate it but don't add it to the global style sheet but declare the rule for this page only. However this doesnt work the div still changes based on the #MainContent rule in the global css file

Should I or should I not learn more about coding when I build my page using Dreamweaver anyways and it looks and functions fine.

I am stuck wit the issue of doc types in my pages which has prevented me to make a center middle design page and had to remove the doc type code on all my websites so that the page content will end up at centre middle.

The only solution I have been offered was to use CSS but I have so many old sites that converting the sites I have built to CSS would be too time consuming and not worth it.

Anyone have any other better ideas?

Im just curious, what are the advantages of using css to import all your images (that arnt dynamic) as apposed to inserting them into your html using the <img> tag?

I'm trying to get the 2 tabs of this mini calendar to be right next to each other. I've changed the names of all the divs surrounding the images and still can't get it to take out that padding.

I've also tried
img
{
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
}

and it still doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Hi, I can't believe I'm posting this but I can't seem to get this to work. I cannot load a background image through a simple div tag. It works if I switch the id selector to the BODY tag in my code and displays the image but does not work if I use the selector with the DIV tag. I have no idea why. Please help
