    Big fat fucking design problem...

    I've been making a new design for a site. Worked all well upto yesterday.

    I use Photoshop for the graphics, ImageReady to cut them up and Dreamweaver to tidy things up etc etc.

    So I've been putting background into tables. All worked fine.
    But NOW when I give a < td > a background image, it DOES show up in Dreamweaver and it DOES show up in Firefox but it stays blank in Internet Explorer. I've been building pages like this for a long long time.

    Anyone got a clue?

              also, the image itself will open just fine when opened directly in the browser.

                        Just did. This has been working for over a year and just broke yesterday out of the blue so to speak.

                                  Use CSS instead if that's not how you are doing it already. Much cleaner and easier to control. Name a CSS element something like ".tdbackgrounds" and then set up your background inside there. Then just name your table definition <td class="tdbackgrounds"></td> and you're good to go.

                                      When you click on the cell you want to put the background in make sure you click on the little <td> at the top of your properties panel and it will work .

                                      If you just click in the cell and add the background it doesnt work .

                                        It somehow puts the background images in the <TR> field, not in the <TD> field. I don't know why it's doing that all of a sudden, but placing it in the <TD> field manually fixes the problem

                                          Yeah, i agree with you. Check your code of the image background if its placed on a <TD> not with a <TR>

                                          It should be <TD background="images/bg.gif">
                                          not <TR background="images/bg.gif">

                                                It's probably been said before... but sometimes, it's worth using a plain text editor and not wysiwyg editors.

                                                http://www.textpad.com/ is more stable than notepad and has a much greater capacity. It's got search and replace for multiple files, it can change the case of blocks of text, it has a spell checker..... etc.

                                                If you rely on your wysiwyg editor for doing layouts.... then once you have the layout done, import the html into a plain text editor and at least then you'll know that nothing will get corrupted from that point, except by you.

                                                Textpad is free to download, and there's loads of other plain text editors out there. In the long run, it's worth learning to code from scratch.
                                                Will hand code html for food.
