Dreamweaver in Firefox/IE.... Newbie Qq

kingsburytony · 07-24-2008, 12:06 AM

Hi there,
I'm trying to put up a very simple one-page web page. I'm using Dreamweaver CS3.
Problem 1. When I preview the page in IE, it looks fine. When I preview it in Firefox it doesn't display the background image. Could you tell me why this is.
Problem 2. I don't have FTP access to my webpage, so I have to upload the files manually to my ISP. When I've done this, & visit the page, one of the images isn't displayed in either browser - it has a placeholder in IE, and the alternative text in Firefox. It looks fine in the previews from Dreamweaver. The background image to the page won't show either, in IE. although the same background image shows OK in the header & footer. In Firefox the background image. won't show at all anywhere
I'm stymied! Obviously I'm doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers Tony

Using Firefox 3.01, IE 6.0, Dreamweaver CS, Win XP SP2

Hey again,
i don't know exactly what the problem is you're experiencing.

When i open the page in FF and IE the background displays fine.

You could try wrapping quotes around your url in the CSS:

Code:

url('images/Marble_Background1.gif');

It took a while for the marble image to load, maybe the problem is that the filesize is too high?

Another thing that caught my curiosity is you reference an images folder but http://users.actrix.co.nz/tkingsbr/DVDsAvailable/images does not exist, are you sure when you upload the images you're uploading them into the right folder?

Cheers,
Jamey

Thanks Jamey, I'll try that. Since it displays OK for you, I'll assume that the problem is at my end, & it will look all right to visitors.
Thanks for your time, and the swift response.
Cheers Tony
