FP 2000

1. I want to use DTHML but it's greyed out. What gives?
I have done the Page Properties thing, DHTML is checked.

2. How do I keep the Background picture from being tiled?

Thanks!
 
Use have to use CSS to specific this, not something build into FP. I don't
use CSS, so you will have to wait for someone to give the exact code to use
or do a search on the internet.

I have done the Page Properties thing, DHTML is
checked.

Do the Page Options from the Tools menu thing, then boogie
to the Compatability (or Authoring) tab, then jiggle all
the drop-down lists to Custom and zap all the checkboxes
to selected.

Add this to your <head> section.

<style>
BODY { background: #ffffdd url(pendant.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat; }
</style>

However, I don't believe all browsers will recognize this.
Test with the ones you care about.

Alternatively, enlarge your background pictures, adding
blank space to the right and below. For example, size it
to 1600x1200. If the extra space is a solid color, it will
add very little to the overall picture size.

I did that, it's still greyed out! MS really needs to add
a section to all their program's Help files that are
dedicated to why something isn't available.
 
Under FP2000, to use DHTML, besides having it enabled under Compatibility,
you must have a web open, then the page, then you must select a image or
some text to apply the DHTML effects to, then option will be available.
Note: From within FP, you are limited to the option available depending on
whether you have selected a image or text, etc.

OK, that's what I was doing.
