When an image is set as background-image in the css, you won't be able
to get the image from clicking on it because there is no direct
reference to its location on the server as there is when the image is in
the html itself. Your browser can not see where the image is to "save
as". You can get the image in your browser (and save it) by looking up
the full name in the css and then direct your browser to
forrest_site_url/skin/images/name_of_the_image. (e.g.
http://156.132.92.4/skin/images/rc-b-r-5-1header-2tab-selected-3tab-selected.png).

Hmm, that all makes sense but then (when in IE) why don't get I the "save
as" highlighted for the image? Perhaps png or svg aren't "supported" for
that. I've done the rounded images before but I was hoping that they had a
better way so I won't have to generate the image files.

Subject: Re: Css question
Ah. Well I can't find the css either but I could find the
transformation where base-selected and base-not-selected are
brought in,
which looks like it is part of the process for determining which tab
gets which colors. As for the tab look though, actually the
tabs *do*
use images. The basic tab is just css color, but the rounded corners
are small images that Forrest makes for you by using base svg
"rounded
corner" images, applying the correct colors and then
converting into png
images on the fly during the build. If you look in
build\site\skin\images you will see the png corner images
(all starting
with rc-).
You should probably read the HowTo on Tab Corners if you
haven't already.
http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_70/howto/howto-corner-images.html
There are also a number of css tutorials on the net if you
look for css
rounded corners. There are a few methods that folks employ,
depending
on situation and all of the ones that I have encountered have
required
at least a small image.

Hmm, I don't get it, but then I don't do anything really complex in
css. Anyhow, I see a reference to a style of "base-selected"
within the
href and a "current" in tne <li> for them tab menu. I can't find
"base-selected" anywhere in the static site except in html
files here
it's in use. What I'm really interested in is seeing how
the rounded
corners are managed without using images. I figure it has
something to
do with the css on the <li>. Here's the section of the
generated html
I'm looking at:
<ul id="tabs">
<li class="current">
<a class="base-selected" href="index.html">Home</a>
</li>
<li>
<a class="base-not-selected" href="samples/sample.html">Samples</a>
</li>
<li>
<a class="base-not-selected" href="http://xml.apache.org";>Apache XML
Projects</a> </li>
<li>
<a class="base-not-selected"
href="pluginDocs/plugins_0_70/index.html">Plugins</a>
</li>
</ul>
