    Dumb question I know...

    Hi All

    Last time I used Actinic Catalog was back in 2001! I think it was V4.

    Anyway, I bought V8 last week. Its alot more complicated than I remember.

    I have designed a layout / design in Dreamweaver which registers as a design in Actinic just fine. But for some reason my background image in page properties is being ignored and it just displays white space?

    My brain is giving up! I am sure this is easy, but can someone tell me how to get round this and make my BG image appear. It works just fine in Dreamweaver.

    Its quite urgent so quick response much appreciated!

    Many thanks

    Settings | Site Options - is the setting related to background image/color correct?

      Hi thanks for replying so quickly.

      Well I am not 100% sure but I think so:

      Store is using a background image = false
      Back ground image has the path to the right file.

      And here lies the problem. I have used a table layout in Dreamweaver and these settings seem to enable the bg image to display in the shopping cart area and within the table.

      BUT I want to fill the white space surround my table with an image pattern?

      Any ideas?

      Cheers

        Surely background image needs to equal true?

          oops, that was a typo, i meant to say Background Colour instead of image set to false.

          the weird thing now is my brochure content shows the bg image, my shopping cart pages dont? why would that be...

          suffering... brain hurting... help....

              <style type="text/css">
              <!--
              body,td,th {
              font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
              font-size: 12px;
              }
              body {
              background-image: url(plussize/bigandbeautifulfashionsbg.jpg);
              margin-top: 10px;
              }
              a:link {
              color: #0000FF;

                Hi,

                Is the problem with Preview of the site or online (or both)?

                  Could be a couple of reasons here...

                  1. always best to keep CSS in the root of the site folder and not sub folders

                  2. wrap the image name in single quotes so Actinic picks them up and uploads to the server

                  background-image: url('bigandbeautifulfashionsbg.jpg');

                  3. if they are outside the root and depending on the type of SSL you are using they could be seen as insecure and not displayed as a result.

                  HTH
