I'd like to add an icon to the background of each tab. It seems the flick styling has a lot of background images involved already because when I try to add one it doesn't show up. Can you provide some guidance?

Here is my page with the tab set.

Hello Simon

If you need to add background image to specific tab, place the following code just above the closing </head> tag.

if you need to style the first tab:
<style>
#dmxTabs1-1 {
	background-image:url(yourimagename.jpg) !important;
}

</style>


if you need to style the second tab :

<style>
#dmxTabs1-2 {
	background-image:url(yourimagename.jpg) !important;
}

</style>


If you need to style the third tab :

<style>
#dmxTabs1-3 {
	background-image:url(yourimagename.jpg) !important;
}

</style>


e.t.c.

Regards: Vulcho.

Hi Vulcho,

Adding this code put the background image in the body of the tab. I was hoping to put it in the header part of the tab, the <li></li> tags, where you first click.

I found that if I apply an inline style to the <li> tags like this:

<li style="background: url(images/specials-icon.png) no-repeat right center"><a href="#dmxTabs1-1">MONTHLY SPECIAL</a></li>


it works, but masks the existing background image. If I could understand where this background image is controlled in the css I think I can get it to work.

Here is my page if you want to take a look:

Hello Simon

I have a couple questions regarding the layout you are trying to achieve:
1).Do you need to remove the star image from the body of tab1 ?
2).Do you need to have the image in the both tab buttons?
3).Do you need to keep the color of the tab buttons ?

Regards: Vulcho.

Hello Vulcho,

1)Do you need to remove the star image from the body of tab1?
- Yes
2)Do you need to have the image in the both tab buttons?
- I have a different image for the second tab button, but for now we could use the same one
3)Do you need to keep the color of the tab buttons?
- I'd like to keep the original color of the tab buttons (the "flick" styling)

Thank you.

Hello Simon.

1)Delete the code of the following property:

#dmxTabs1-1 {
    background: url("../images/specials-icon.png") no-repeat scroll right center transparent;
}

in www.asomatouspeat.com/esc/furbay/Styles/dmxTabs.css

2)I will talk to our developers, and will notify you here if they plan to implement the functionality of having a icon in each tab separately in the next update of the product.

3)O.k. so there is no need to do any changes.

For the time being I created the following classes and applied them to the two <li> button tags.

#dmxTabs1 .li01 {
background: url(jqueryui/flick/specials-icon.png) no-repeat right center;
}
#dmxTabs1 .li02 {
background: url(jqueryui/flick/newsletter-icon.png) no-repeat right center;
}
