Hi,
I'm struggling to find answers on the problem I'm having, and I
desperately need some closure :)
I have a bunch of background-images in a css file that are visible
locally, but when I upload to a remote server they won't show.
I checked the actual link, which is correct (e.g '../images/main/
brc.gif'). To make sure I also tried the URL approach (e.g. 'http://
www.redstudio.com.au/client/os/images/main/brc.gif'), which is also
correct, but to no avail.
A friend suggested that I should try placing the image in a DIV as I
had been placing the images inside a class within a cell. This also
did not make any difference.
I have noticed that while testing in Safari, the Activity utility
states that the background images are 'forbidden'. Maybe this is a
clue?
Standard <IMG>'s have also been placed within the document as a test
to see if they load, and these are all visible remotely. So it must
have somehting to do with the CSS.
I've also W3 validated the HTML and CSS and both are 100% OK.
The site/soure can be viewed here: http://www.redstudio.com/client/os/index.html http://www.redstudio.com/client/os/css/os.css
Any help would be really appreciated,
Cheers,

The CSS file your page uses does not contain any references to
background images.
>The site/soure can be viewed here:
http://www.redstudio.com/client/os/index.html
The page asks for:
url("/styles/ns-uc.css");
>http://www.redstudio.com/client/os/css/os.css
That seems to be an empty file. Anyway, your page is not referring to it.
HTH,
Osmo
Additionally, you should clean up your HTML code:
- Set the correct encoding: you are using UTF-8 characters but encoding
is set to iso-8859-1.
- Do not use XHTML style (the trailing / in some HTML elements) while
declaring loose.dtd
- Put the <formaround the table instead in the middle of nowhere

What do you mean when you say lose the XHTML?
The markup is crap. 10-year obsolete single-pixel gif rubbish. Anyone
writing this style of code today ought to be ashamed.
So for the very few cases where XHTML might possibly be of some use,
this isn't one of them. Nor is the guilty coder likely to be a fit
person to be let loose with it.
XHTML on the web is usually bogus. XHTML that still needs trainer wheels
and single pixel gifs is _definitely_ bogus.

As for the stock photo, its just there as a 'filler' at this stage.
Search Wikipedia for "goatse". _Don't_ Google for it, unless you're
ready for a surprise!
Any image that looks remotely like a goatse (Joe Clark's usability book,
even "Meet the Robinsons") is going to be treated with scorn and
derision when the geeks find it.
As for slahdotted... what?
Sorry, "slashdotted" Wikipedia knows that one too.

All I asked was for some help, not a bitch slap.
Unfortunately the only HTML tool I have (and the only one I know how
to use) is Dreamweaver. The page I have pointed to is the result of
what Dreamweaver creates. Maybe instead of bagging my "obsolete"
method, you could try giving me some constructive advice .
If anyone else can help with the actual problem at hand, I would
greatly appreciate it.

Thanks dorayme,
At this stage the site is still a work in progress. The rest of the
site is on hold until I can sort out the issue with the css images not
loading .
However, to soothe your concerns I have reuploaded the ammended files,
so that new windows shall no longer be a distraction.

Much better for it. But there is trouble all the same. In Safari,
the top image of the banner is reserved as space but nothing
shows making the nav and content seem to start way down the page.
First, just trust the advice not to use that xhtml doc type but
select 4.01 Strict. Honestly, it is a big mess (and you cannot
just use Dreamweaver without being able to get by a little
without it, you will simply not know its limitations) and I could
get the banner image to appear in Safari even with your style
sheet if I cut out almost all your html. You will be lucky (or
unlucky really because you will be tempted to battle on) if
anyone here takes the time to pinpoint "the trouble".
You simply should not be using px for font sizes, and forget
about all the javascript for now.
Why don't you look at some nice templates for three col layouts,
there are quite a few and there is even a thread at the moment
(called at Is the Holy Grail legend true?) at
comp.infosystems. www.authoring.stylesheets where there is one
suggestion:

I can't see how the problem would relate to CSS or HTML. I'd guess that
individual images have different permission settings. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod

You are right Osmo. It turns out it has to do with permissions. I
tried uploading to another server and now it works fine. ( http://www.redstudioweb.com/client/os )
I had a look at wikipedia re Chmod (for the 2nd time now - I came
across Chmod whilst searching for the problem prior to asking for help
here) but it's all far too complex for me to get my head around it.
I think the easiest solution will be to ring the server host and get
them to sort it out.
Thanks for your help.

No, it cannot be anything to do with permissions. I was able to
get it to load in Safari by cutting out a lot of the html. No
time to pinpoint more accurately.

In Dreamweaver, with your page open, select
File -Convert -HTML 4.01 Strict
Then you can use
File -Check Page -Validate Markup
You can set Dreamweaver to use HTML 4.01 Strict by default
for all new pages, too: find the Preferences... menu item
(on a Mac, that would be Dreamweaver -Preferences...)
and click on the "New Document" category.
Finally, you might want to get someone to review the actual
text on your page - it needs some work if you want to come
across as a professional organization.

Cheers for the tips David :) I'm using MX 2004 (a bit out of date) but
it only seems to give me the option to use XHTML. I'm assuming I can
download an extension or somehting of the like?
As for the text, it is all just filler at this stage (waiting on
client to supply us with their new text content). Still at a layout
stage of design.

No, you should be able to do the same thing in MX 2004 - it might be
in a different place, though. Try using the built-in help database,
