Hello everybody,
I have made a website for a client who had specific wishes for a foto background with a box with round corners on top of it: www.glomed.nl. On my mac with Firefox it looks fine but on other computers there are lines appearing.
Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

Hoi Steven,
I don’t see any lines in any browser in OSX or Windows. Can you please explain where see lines on other computers?

This is likely to be caused by your background breaking apart with different text sizes Read the knowledgebase article below.

Thanks for the reply’s. The lines appear on windows machines in explorer. Indeed the background is breaking apart. I thought is had something to do with the fullbackground action. But that doesn’t seem to be the problem.

Another thing you should be careful of is the size of your background images like http://www.glomed.nl/Resources/4%20zee.jpg (note there is also a space character in your file name that you should avoid)
This image is very nearly 1Mb which makes for a slow loading page. A background image like this should really be less than 150Kb

Dave,
when you say to avoid spaces in file names for graphics, does this advice also apply to .pdf documents? Should all my files (pics, movies, .pdf, etc) avoid spaces in the file names?
Thanks,
Barry

Any file served on the web should stick to the naming convention of alpha numerics ie a-z, A-Z, 1-0, plus _underscores and - hyphens.
Other characters such as ’ apostrophes, " quote marks, ( ) parentheses etc should all be avoided.

Ok Dave,
Can I assume this also includes the .htm files as well that are created in Freeway? So any page in Freeway should not have a space in its name either? ex. not ASSORT FUN.htm but rather ASSORTEDFUN.htm or Assorted_FUN.htm
is this right?
thanks,
Barry

Just to let you know. I have changed the background rectangle in HTML and that solved the problem. I only had to give up the round corners.
Thanks for your help David.

I only had to give up the round corners.
Not if you use the CSS3 corners action - but earlier versions of IE wont see them rounded - but who cares about them anyway.
