Background image using CSS

[MDG webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I'm trying to get a background image on my page using background-image: and I'm having a hard time referencing the location on my hosting server. The image has been uploaded to this server folder:
D:\Lotus\Domino\Data\domino\html\michael\kids\imag es\

and my style code says this: <style type="text/css">

BODY{
background-image :
url(file:///D:/Lotus/Domino/Data/domino/html/michael/kids/images/background.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-color : "#697299";
}
</style>


But I'm only getting the backgound COLOR, not image. Am I using the wrong source code?

MDG:

The file must be local to the site. DMX will not render images that are
externally derived.

It was upload from my C drive to our web server. I can't reference that folder??

MDG:

You can reference it, but DW will not show it. And what would happen after
you publish the page, anyhow?

The best bet would be to keep that image in the local site.

MDG:

By copying the image into the local site, and making your CSS reference it
in that location.

I am tiling a small page background image and it keeps showing the "joins". How do I stop this?

[Sam Poikail]

If generally means that you image doesn't repeat sufficiently to create a
seamless tile. Or if you did it in Fireworks and exported the image as a
slice, it could could very well mean that you slice is one or two pixels too
large along the x or y axis. Do you have a sample web page posted
someplace?

Cheers,
Sam

Hi Sam

Version2: [url]http://www.gerardmartin.com/dreamweaver/version2/index.htm[/url]

Version1: [url]http://www.gerardmartin.com/dreamweaver/images/index.htm[/url]

in both the page background image sits behind the top image. I have tried version2 with a plain colour and get the same result.

I have also checked the image size, they are both 44 x 100

The reason it does not match up is that each and every pixel on the left
side must be the same color as the pixel that is the same distance from the
top as the one on the right side. It usually takes a bit of doing to get a
tileable texture, but I think there are tools out there that will help you.

Success!

Thanks Sam, Amy

I used Ily's tiler... took a little bit of working out as I'm using Fireworks MX.
