Hi Janine,
Hope you can answer this question. I am using Dreamweaver MX2004 and want to include an image as a background in page properties. I don’t want the image tiled and I think there is a way to do that by using CSS, but I sure can’t find it in the Help section.
Can you point me in the right direction? By the way, I think CS4 and CS5 are far more difficult to use for those of us who only occasionally build a web page.
Thanks in advance,
Pete
Hi Pete,
I understand your reluctance to upgrade to a more complex version of Dreamweaver, but you won’t find the options you’re looking for in Dreamweaver MX 2004. To add a background image that does not tile, you’ll need to use Cascading Style Sheets, and those features were not included in the Page Properties in MX2004.
You can create your own style sheets in that version if you learn CSS and can write the code yourself, but believe me, that’s a lot more complicated. If you upgrade, you’ll find that the Page Properties features in later versions of Dreamweaver make it easy to control how a background tiles and the program generates the necessary CSS code for you.
You’ll find many free tutorials on the CSS features in later versions of Dreamweaver in my Dreamweaver section.
Hope that helps,
Janine
