Join James Williamson for an in-depth discussion in this video Using background graphics , part of Dreamweaver CS6 Essential Training.
An alternate way for you to display images on your page is through the use of…CSS background images.…Every element on your page has the ability to display a background color or…image or even both if you prefer.…This allows you to display images on the page without using an image tag in your…HTML code and creates the opportunity for presentation-only images.…This allows you to use images for your design without cluttering up your HTML…with unnecessary image tags.…In this example, we're going to apply a background image to the page header…region and use a background image to replace a textual headline with the school logo.…
So I have the index file open from the 07_08 folder and I can tell even before…I hit Live View, but I'm going to go ahead and hit Live View, that some things are missing.…So the image of the very starry-eyed young girl who is looking forward to…her future at Roux Academy is missing and then the Roux Academy logo itself…is missing as well.…Now what I want to do, I'm going to turn the Live View off first.…
