Background not appearing?

windows · Jan 9, 2008

Hey there. I'm having a problem getting the background to appear on IE 6. The site was built on a Mac using Dreamweaver MX and the site shows up fine in IE 5.2 for the mac, but on the PC the background doesn't appear. I think it has to do with the javascript put in for the news and events scroller. If I take that out, the background appears fine. Can someone please take a look at the code and see what I'm doing wrong? I can't seem to find the cause of the problem. 
 
The site can be viewed here.

Thanks, 
NathanielI cannot see an image: 
<a class="postlink" href="http://www.desi-9.com/optyxx/images/bg.gif">http://www.desi-9.com/optyxx/images/bg.gif</a> 
only an empty browserwindow..... 
 
:rocker:I can see the site fine, although there is just a littke web page in the center(not liquid). You can try using a php calendar if you can find one!Petervazed, 
 
I fixed the gif. I'm not sure what was going on with that. Hopefully you can see it now when you point your browser at the gif specifically. 
 
Even though the gif is now visible I still can't get it to tile on the index page. 
 
Any thoughts? 
 
Thanks for your time, 
NathanielKevinnaia, 
 
Could you please explain by what you mean by little web page in the center and not liquid? 
 
Thanks, 
Nathanieli couldn`t see the background image (ie 5.5 win), you could try using css: 
 
<STYLE type="text/css"> 
BODY { background: url("images/foo.gif") } 
</STYLE> 
 
 
i think what Kevinnaia meant was that your page seems squashed together, it doesnt seem to fill to the screen (liquid)Leoo24, 
 
I am using a CSS. Perhaps I'm not formatting it correctly. 
 
Right now it looks like this: 
 
<style type="text/css"> 
#body { 
background: url("images/bg.gif")} 
#content { 
position: absolute; 
background-color: ada59c; 
width: 174px; 
z-index: 7; 
clip: rect(auto 180 auto auto); 
overflow: hidden; 
visibility: visible; 
left: 0px; 
top: 0px; 
height: 387px; 
} 
</style> 
 
The site isn't designed to be liquid. Thus the desire for the tiling background. I'd like the table to stay fixed in the upper right hand corner and as people view it in higher res browsers the background will fill their browsers.

There is a nesting error with the table, and a few other simple things to fix up. 
 
 
Add type="text/javascript" to every <script> tag. 
 
 
Add alt="some text" to every <img > tag. On unimportant images, like spacer elements, and bullet-point images, a minimum of alt="" is fine. Search engines do index the alt text. 
 
 
 
Additionally, here is a [list (<a class="postlink" href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.desi-9.com%2Foptyxx%2Findex.html&warning=1&profile=css2">http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/vali ... ofile=css2</a>)] of what needs fixing in the CSS code.I get 404 Not Found.Like an image in the center of the page that is like 600x300I was able to fix the background problem by editing the CSS. 
 
I changed it to: 
 
 
</script> 
 
<style type="text/css"> 
Body{ background-image: url(images/bg.gif) } 
#content { 
position: absolute; 
background-color: ada59c; 
width: 174px; 
z-index: 7; 
clip: rect(auto 180 auto auto); 
overflow: hidden; 
visibility: visible; 
left: 0px; 
top: 0px; 
height: 387px; 
} 
</style> 
 
adding 
 
Body{ background-image: url(images/bg.gif) } 
 
is all it took. 
 
I apprecaite everyone's time and energy. 
 
Thanks!!!! 
 
OH yeah...I moved the site over to: 
 
<a class="postlink" href="http://www.round2online.com/clients/optyxx/webtest/">http://www.round2online.com/clients/optyxx/webtest/</a>don't forget to put the hash infront of your color:#ada59c,
