Background Image Problem

[stockliasteroid]

Hi all!

I have a site that I'm attempting to get editable for a client in Contribute
CS3. I retrofitted the site with Dreamweaver templates, but for some reason all
of the background-images that I have set on my container div's disappear when I
switch to edit mode. The background of the site is quite dark, which means that
the client can't hardly see the text they're trying to edit when the background
disappears. The links are the same color as the background as well, which means
they become completely invisible.

You can see the site at: [url]http://www.blackbullbozeman.com/[/url]

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

I guess you use css for your backgroundimages. Maybe you can put another
background color behind the image that shows behind your text, so this comes up
instead of the brown color.

#style {
background-image:url(../img/backgroundimage.jpg);
background-color:#FFFFFF;
}

Thanks for the reply!

All of my background images are in CSS already, and I tried setting a
corresponding background color to use as well in case Contribute was refusing
to tile the bg image for some reason. That didn't work... The other posted
solution on the board was to make sure that you are using paths relative to the
stylesheet for your background images, which didn't work either.

However, I did get it to work... I had a large masthead image that was just
inline and not in a div. This was working because the image was the width of
the container anyway, so it behaved like a block level element even though it
really wasn't. So, I wrapped it in a div and everything works now... Obviously
I should have done that from the beginning, but I didn't notice it because no
browsers were choking on it. The background image now tiles properly, so they
can now edit the text. There's still an issue with the bottom "cap" background
graphic floating up too high, but that won't prevent them from editing.
