Background Images not displaying in preview pane

[Lance]

Hi,

I've designed an outer layout in Dreamweaver and it displays fine in a browser. I've registered it in Actinic and the background images don't display in the preview pane but it displays ok when I do the "offline page preview" (after having copied the images into the PreviewHTML directory.) All the images are in the root directory and the CSS is in the HTML file.

I've tried putting quotes around the image names but it doesn't make any difference.

Anyone had any experience of this problem? Any ideas?

The live preview uses DesignPreviewHTML. Try a copy there.

Also try single quotes around the CSS filenames.

Hi Norman,

Thanks for the quick reply. Copying the images to DesignPreview does the trick. Presumably this is a bug in v8?

Put all background references in the actinic stylesheet, always enclose in single quotes and you should never need to copy anywhere, or should i say i never have in 2 years. In external stylesheets it's buggy, in actinic's, always been fine for me.

Hi Lee,

Thanks for the suggestion. I've moved my css into actinic.css and I don't need the images in DesignPreview now.
