CSS - Background Color Help!
Hey Guys!
I'm going absolutely bonkers trying to find out how to change the color of the background of a certain element on my site. I installed Vanilla forums on my site and am trying to customize the css script. If you look at the page, you will see an annoying white in the body. I am trying to make the background of that #F6F6F2. Could you guys possibly put me in the right direction? Thanks! Here is a link to my page: shipswatchdotcom/forum/vanilla/aaa.html Here is the css script: Code: #Body {
margin: 0;
width: 99.9%;
position: relative;
background: #F6F6F2;
}
#Head {
background: #B8D4B8;
padding:0;
margin: 20px 20px 0;
text-align: left;
position: relative;

Similar Tutorialsi wanted usersto choose their own style sheet by giving them different links like red, green, blue which will take them to different layouts or background color page. the problem was that worked only for that particular page but if they click on any link or menu from that page it will take them back to the default color. is there any way that i can set so that their choice will stay throught their surfing ? any thoughts ? hanks Having an issue with the background color in a div. The color shows up in I.E. but not in Firefox. I have a div with a width of 100%. Inside the div is an unordered list with two list items. Here is the css: div#nav { width: 100%; margin: 0; background-color: #EAE9E4; } #nav ul {margin: 0; padding: 0; } #nav li { list-style: none; float: left; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 15%; font-size: 11px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap; } Essentially this will be a navigation aid below the banner of the webpage. The list items will contain anchors which will appear as "buttons". The containing div extends to the end and I want it to have a background color. Any help appreciated. Hi there people, I have a question about CSS but before I start off asking this question I'll introduce myself. I'm a new user of this great forum, my name is Dwight and I'm a student on the "Graphical Lyceum Amsterdam" where I follow the education for "Multimedia Designer". Ok so now you know me a little, I'll start off asking my question. Question: I have to change the layout for a html page that askes for information from different asp pages, but that's not my problem . The problem is that I have to make some td's a different color -the background that is- but the problem is that I can't change the html page itself (it is automaticly generated and I don't have permission to change it). So my question is can someone tell me how I can change the color of some (not all!) td's with CSS without making classes? Tnx, Dwight Hi, I have made a page using <div> tags. <div id="page"> <div id="leftmenu"> </div> <div id="mainarea"> </div> </div> My problem is that sometimes, the leftmenu is longer than the main area(1) and sometimes its the opposite- the main area is longer than the leftmenu(2). I want them both to be of the same height. (3) How can I do this? Plz Help! I have pasted the style codes for the 3 tags below. (1) (2) (3) #mainarea { background-color:#FFFFFF; float:left; position:relative; right:0pt; width:630px; } #leftmenu { background-color:#EEEEEE; float:left; left:0pt; position:relative; width:140px; } #page { background-color:#FFFFFF; position:relative; width:770px; } Hi, I am trying to apply a background color to an item other than the body but I cannot make it display in IE 6 or 5.5. I have tried applying it to both <div>'s and <p>'s. Does IE not support the background-color property outside of the page background? My page works great in firefox, but in IE the top navigation div (top_navigation) SHOULD have a background color of red for testing perposes, but the color doesn't change! It looks like its inheriting the background color #e4dfd7 from the css body tag. I've tried using an inline style, or using !important, nothing works, and I have to make this available in at least IE6 and up. Thanks in advance for any help! html code -> cosmosristorante dot com / ox / index.asp My problem is that I need to get the Body Background color that is in a css file using php to then introduce this color to an applet. My CSS file has: BODY { FONT-SIZE: 12px; COLOR: #6699ff; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff; SCROLLBAR-FACE-COLOR: #FFFFFF; SCROLLBAR-HIGHLIGHT-COLOR: #CC6699; SCROLLBAR-SHADOW-COLOR: #CC6699; SCROLLBAR-3DLIGHT-COLOR: #CC6699; SCROLLBAR-ARROW-COLOR: #CC6699; SCROLLBAR-TRACK-COLOR: #FFFFFFF; SCROLLBAR-DARKSHADOW-COLOR: #CC6699; FONT-FAMILY: "Times", serif; } But I use different CSS so very time I change the file I need to know in the php page what BACKGROUND-COLOR it has. I have this transparent png image and it looks great on a web page when you put a background color on it. the only transparent part is the border, the rest is white, so the bg color is really for border. When you go to print it, however, printers dont normally show bg colors Is there some way how I can force printing the the bg color when the user prints the page? (I know some times u can configure that on their printer but I don't want them to have to do anything. ) Hello, I have been trying to figure this out, but have been unsuccessful. I am using a modalPopupExtender, but when the popup comes up, my background is still active. I suspect it has to be something in my css file, but would appreciate some help on this. I suspect it is the css that is causing this, but cannot figure out what. TIA! Here is the code for the MPE: <cc1:ModalPopupExtender ID="MPE1" runat="server" TargetControlID="btnShowModalPop" PopupControlID="divPop" BackgroundCssClass="modalBackground" PopupDragHandleControlID="panelDragHandle" DropShadow="true"/> Here is the code in my css file: .modalBackground { background-color:Gray; filter:alpha(opacity=70); opacity:0.7; } .modalPop { background-color:Gray; border-width:3px; border-style:solid; border-color:Black; padding:0; width:250px; color:White; } .drag { background-color:#ff0000; cursor: move; border: solid 2px white; } I found the issue by referencing a blank css file and slowly adding statements in. It was a combination of the following which prevented the backgroundcssclass to not be shown propertly: #body div div { background: url(images/body_tr.gif) top right no-repeat; } #body div div div { background: url(images/body_bl.gif) bottom left no-repeat; } #body div div div div{ background: url(images/body_br.gif) bottom right no-repeat; } #body div div div { background: url(images/body_bg.gif) bottom left no-repeat; } #body div div div div { background: url(images/body_bg.gif) bottom right no-repeat; } #body .inner div { background: none; } I ended up add these bg imgs in my master page div tags directly and is working fine.....for now :P Edit/Delete Message On the main page of my site, I have a "slogan box" with a width set to 40%. This is outlined and has a background color. In IE, it outlines and colors in the blank space up to 40%, the desired effect. But in Firefox and Mozilla, it outlines only up to where the text stops. Here's the main css behind it: #slogan { border-bottom:2px solid black; border-right:2px solid black; border-left:2px solid black; background-color:#ABAABB; font-family:comic sans ms; width:40%; } Attactched is the screenshot from IE and firefox. How can I make it look like it does in IE for all browsers (i.e., what is the correct code?) The full code can be seen here. Hi, I am trying to set background color on hover for a single table of links, rather than the entire document like the below example shows. http://www.projectseven.com/tutorials/css/pseudoclasses/ I have tried various ways, I do not want to use javascript for this and I am aware of the way to apply background color to the .td field but this also applys to the normal text not just links. So my question is how do I apply the background hover color to one table of links instead of the body. Thanks! Hi all, I haven't been working with CSS that long and I've searched for a fix but couldn't get anything to work. I can't get a background color to display in Firefox but it does in IE. Inside my "mainwrap" I have two columns and for some reason when I set my background to white for the "mainwrap" it just doesn't show up in Firefox.

I have the following code, in the sidebar DIV in Firefox the background does not show up, it does in IE7. What have I done wrong? CSS code: Code:
#content {
margin-left: 25px;
background: #fff;
width: 990px;
padding: 15px 20px 20px 20px;
}
#blog {
padding: 0;
margin-right: 40px;
background: #fff;
width: 660px;
color: #545454;
float: left;
padding-top: 5px !important;
}
#sidebar {
width: 250px;
padding: 8px;
background: #ccc;
}
XHTML/HTML code: Code:
<div id="content">
<div id="blog">
blah blah blah
</div>
<div id="sidebar">
<h2>blah</h2>
blah blah blah
</div>
</div>
I've been looking it at for a while, and while it's probably something minor I'm just simple over looking, I can't figure it out. Everything works, is in the correct place, except the grey background (#ccc) isn't showing up on the sidebar. Hi there, Is it possible to start a background-color a certain amount frm the top, like you can with background images? I have a background image which uses rounded corners, but when I set the background-color, it overlaps the background image so you cannot see it anymore. What I want to do is to start the background color, say, 20px from the top. Is that possible? OK - I know all about the media="print" attribute. But I don't know how to force a background color (styled in a div tag; ie "background-color: black;") to print when the webpage is printed. I would think this would be a fairly common requirement but have not stumbled upon it. Also, it probably doesn't matter but I have been using Javascript to add the divs to the page dynamically, so I don't know if that would have any effect. Probably not. Any help would be appreciated. Can this be done? My table is 4 columns with about 400 rows. I want to style the background color across each row but in fixed blocks/rows. i.e rows 1-55 red rows 55-60 green rows 61-100 red rows 121-158 green etc just using two colors. Any pointer in how it could be done? I'm using Wordpress 3.0.4 with the WP Remix theme 3.0 for my website. URL: joelwyant.com I want to be able to add a page to the site during the Christmas season. To make it standout more, I'd like that specific page to always have a different background color in the navbar than the other "normal" pages. I have the CSS for the navbar style, but I don't know where to begin to make it specific to just that one page. In other words, how do I create CSS that overides the normal navbar background color for just that one specific page? Any thoughts, suggestions, or guidance is much appreciated! Joel I want to display text when I hover over certain areas of an image, so I am using an image map, no href, and assigning the text using ALT=. As a result, the text shows up as a tooltip. It works great except that the background color in the tooltip box is a very dated yellow color that looks inconsistent with the rest of my page. Is there any way to change the background color? (I am trying to avoid scripts because I've never used them and don't really have time to learn how, at this point) Thanks, Beth Hello all, When viewing in IE my background is dark red like it's suppose to be. When viewing the same site in Firefox the background is white. Firefox is not seeing that portion of code within my CSS file. Can someone shine some light for me? Thanks in advance!! Please help I need Please send me a message for URL. For some odd reason Dev won't allow me to post a link to my site for you. |
