I have a related question.

I am designing a skin and I would like different background images to appear in different panes. I am designing the skin in VS 2005 and  I have no problem desiging what I am looking for but when I test the site, the panes appear without the background images.

Is there a way to do what I am trying to do.

Note:

Currently the images are refered to in the style sheet attached to the table cell that constitute the pane (I am keeping the skin.css empty).

I have tried both by running the site from VS 2005 and by uploading the style sheet tthrough DNN.

@CABrouwers -

I'm unsure about developing in VS05, as I do all my skin creation in HTML and let DNN convert it at upload. Regardless, I think it follows the same pattern. Let's use the snippet I use alot in my skins for a 5-cell / 3-column layout:

<TABLE width="100%">
  <TR>
    <TD class="toppane" colspan="3" id="TopPane" runat="server" valign="top"></TD>
  </TR>
  <TR valign="top">
    <TD class="leftpane" id="LeftPane" runat="server" valign="top"></TD>
    <TD class="contentpane" id="ContentPane" runat="server" valign="top"></TD>
    <TD class="rightpane" id="RightPane" runat="server" valign="top"></TD>
  </TR>
  <TR>
    <TD class="bottompane" colspan="3" id="BottomPane" runat="server" valign="top"></TD>
  </TR>
</TABLE>

Now, with that layout one should simply be able to add    style="background: url(filename.gif)"   to the TD Tag, ie:

<TD class="toppane" colspan="3" id="TopPane" runat="server" valign="top" style="background: url(filename.gif)"   >

-OR- you could add the style definition for the class in the skin's CSS file.

Just a couple thoughts, let me know if it helps.
