Can you browse patterned backgrounds in EW similar to FP.? I'm trying to get a patterned background of a particular colour for my web page, but all I seem able to get is a water mark, which is not what I want. Valerie
The font colour of my link buttons are in white against a brown background, which is fine for the buttons. However, I need to add another colour, i.e. brown, for links in the container, which has a white background. Can anyone give me the css code and html for this please. Valerie

If so no as EW does not support themes. You can view a very small thumbnail and info on any images you have by using the folder list panel. Panels > Folder List Click the + next to the folder you want to view to expand it then using your cursor move down the list. The name of the image will be displayed with a small thumbnail, the file size and the image dimensions. When I am working on a new template, I save a series of background images to a folder. I can then try out the images as the background to see how I like various ones. Make sure to delete any you do not use from the folder when you finish. A food source for background images is http://www.eosdev.com/eosdev_Backgrounds.htm http://www.theinspirationgallery.com/ pat

Can anyone tell me how to alter the size and style of text within a layer. I've sized and positioned it correctly, but can't figure out how to alter the text, which is too big for the box. The css code would be appreciated. Valerie
Is it possible to add a pattern to background colours in EW similar to those in FP, and if not, is there any way I can import the gif from another computer? Valerie

The css code would be appreciated. Make sure the container does NOT have a specified height. Add font-size: .85em; or whatever to the container. If you are using a layer in EW it is going to be absolutely positioned Unless you thoroughly understand that concept use a <div> that is not absolutely positioned. pat Expression Web 4 Tutorials From Install to Publish and More Updated May 2012 to include changes with SP 1 and 2 - F REE http://www.expression-web-tutorials.com/ew4-tutorials-ebook.html

Barry, Yep, <...td class="small"> fixed it right up. Learned another piece of how to write the markup. Thanks! Judy
I should add to my question: I would like the 4 lines separate, rather than the lines right against each other. And I need the 2 links on my page separated because they started to create 1 clickable link rather than 2, which is why I used a <...p> to separate them. But I could use br instead, I suppose? Judy
Validator is complaining about 3 instances of <...p> . The only difference in mine and Tidy is my use of span and a class for small. CSS has .small for smaller text. I want to use small text only on the Source and Submitter info on select pages. Source/Submitter is in a 1-column, 1-cell Table (External CSS: .table) How do I write the class=small inside of a class="table"? Small Text needs to apply to all of the text shown below. What are times to use a "span" and how do I write a "span" for this? MINE <...div> <....table class="table"> <...tr> <...td> <...span class="small"><strong>Source:</strong> <p>http://. history.rootsweb.com/~libeacons/1875personal_histories_jackson.htm</p> <p>http://www.heritagepursuit.com/Hancock/HancockPortage.htm</p> <p>Typed and submitted to the Washington County PA Rootsweb Mailing List by xx XXX.</p> </span> </td> </tr> </table> </div> W3 for all 3 <..p> instances says "document type does not allow element "P" here; missing one of "APPLET", "OBJECT", "MAP", "IFRAME", "BUTTON" start-tag" (whatever that means!).

Hi Bill, Valerie, like several of us are using Expression Web and there is a Find/Replace function within this program and I use it a lot when cleaning up someone's website.

Hi Valerie, I suppose that you did add another row to your gallery table didn't you? You should be able to add the photos, simply by cutting and pasting from one that works into the new cell within the new row and then change the image. My best wishes, Jill Oxfordshire, UK -----Original Message----- From: freepages-help-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:freepages-help-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Valerie lirakis Sent: 04 October 2013 08:46 To: freepages-help@rootsweb.com Subject: [FreeHelp] Expression Web This is a question probably best answered by Pat, as it concerns EW. For many years I've used FP and used the drag and drop method of uploading my images/web pages, etc.and in instances where I needed to add more images to a page I would copy and paste the code required in file manager, and add the http. I was therefore delighted when I recently uploaded new pages done with EW to find that all my images appeared as if by magic, without having to go through the laborious task of adding the http to every image. However, my delight was short lived when I added three more images yesterday to my page to find that none of them showed, not even a blank square! I also tried to add another line in the title of the page, which had the effect of pushing everything down a line, and, yes you've guessed it, ALL the images disappeared. Luckily I'd previewed it before saving. My question is, how can I add more images or amend an existing web page without this happening.
