CSS - How To Keep Text Aligned With Background Image
Hi,
I am making a site and it is important the text is always positioned over the background image in the same place. I have managed to do this. When I zoom out the text stays in the correct position however when I zoom in (as if I am looking on a smaller screen) the text re positions to the edge of the browser. How can I keep the text in the same position on all monitors? Here is what I have so far (I am very new to css): #content { text-align: left; width: 1060px; padding: 0px 30px 0px 30px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } Thanks Cameron Similar TutorialsHi. Really hoping someone can help me with this... I'll try and explain this as best I can(!) Basically I've got a page containing a block of 9 images, with each linking to a video clip. At the moment I've got the CSS coded so that whenever the mouse is hovered over the 'infobar' (at the bottom of each image) it goes from having a transparent background with black text to having a grey background with white text. What I'm trying to achieve is that same effect whenever the mouse is hovered over any part of the image and infobar. The live online link can be found at: www.markmcm.co.uk/test/test.html The CSS is as as follows: Code:
/*
* Page Stylesheet

Any help would be very-much appreciated - and save an old bloke from tearing too much of his hair out(!) Hi I am redesigning my blog and took it down completely. I want to place the day's text post on the day's photo post on top of the latter, while graying out the photo. Is that possible without using flash? How to get a text aligned vertically in a css button? Sounds weird, but you know us designers are always looking for fresh ways to present content. I've not actually managed to make this work, even though it seems ridiculously simple; in effect it would just be full justification except any orphaned lines would be right-justified, not left. Any ideas? Is there any way to make some text vertically aligned inside a DIV? Just like you would do inside a cell? Code: <table><td valign="middle" height="100">This text is vertically aligned</td></table> Apparently, the vertically-align CSS property only works if it is relative to other DIVs. What I want is some vertically aligned text inside a DIV. Thanks for the help. Wow I REALLY hate CSS. For hours I have been trying to figure this out: Here is some HTML Code:
<td>
<div class="linksbar">
<div class="linkstext">
link - link - link - link
<img src="imagelink.jpg">
<img src="imagelink2.jpg">
</div>
</div>
</td>
[CODE]
the CSS
[CODE]
.linksbar {
height: 28px;
background-image: url(bg.jpg);
}
.linkstext {
vertical-align: middle;
line-height: 28px;
font-weight: bold;
color: white;
}
First problem: in Chrome, the text rests at the bottom of the div. I want it in the middle. Second problem: in IE it looks like a mess. The text is sort of in the middle (more towards the bottom). the image links are at the very top. The image link height is like 20 or something. hi, i'm wondering whether anyone here knows something that i don't about this... here's some code: Code: <div style="position:absolute; left:30px; top:90px; width:380px; height:80px; border: 3px double #000000; padding:10px; padding-top:5px; line-height:150%"> <table width="380" height="80" border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0> <tr> <td valign="middle"> <div align="center" style="width:380px;"> <span style="font-size:11px; text-align:left;"> aligned to the left.<BR> but is it centered?<BR> i think not.<BR> </span> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> i'm able to achieve vertically centered text in the table cell, and i can center it or align it to the left, but so far in my experimenting i haven't found a way to have text that is aligned to the left, centered in the div. i could always just add a bunch of padding-left on the div so that the text is pushed over and looks nicer although it is not centered, but i'm wondering whether there's a way to do it the way i originally planned to.. thanks very much for looking at this. Not sure if this should go in HTML forum or here, but there is CSS involved, so... Anyways, have a page here with 3 images aligned right. (Currently they are floated right, but problem originally was seen with aligned right, changed to css float and problem is the same). http://www.4for4.com/draft_board/to...r_id=HOTSTOVE13 I only see the issue in Chrome, but in Chrome if I refresh the browser, about every third or forth time the text will not wrap around one of the bottom 2 images in the main content area (Hancock & Theron). The text will just lay over the top of the image. If I refresh it will work again, but randomly will not render correctly over one of the two images that is aligned right. Is this just a weird Chrome rendering issue? Or is there some property I can add to the image that will force this to not happen? Thanks a lot. I am trying to put labels below images on my new site design. See: www.jwsuretybonds*com/jw09 I figured out how to get them vertically aligned, but I am having problems with the horizontal, as when I change the browser size, they move. Here is one of the examples: Code:
#homepage-bar h2.construction {
position:fixed;
top:225px;
left:505px;
}
I tried changing to position: absolute; I also tried to use percentages on the left: I know this is easy, but I can't find the fix after googling for 30 minutes. Help! I'm trying to resize links on hover but doing so they change their vertical alignment during hover. Is there a way to prevent this ? Basically I just want the text to be bottom aligned and stay that way on hover. "text-align: top" works, but thats not what I want. simple example: CSS: Code:
a:link, a:visited, a:active {
font-size: 1em;
}
a:hover {
font-size: 1.5em;
}
HTML: Code:
<div>
<a href="#">Text</a>
</div>
Hi, I wonder if you can help me, In FF, this site has it's rows messed up. If you scroll down towards the bottom the colours become out-of-sync with the text. Can anyone help? (It works fine in IE and Opera) Thanks CSS Code (scroll down): http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/...&usermedium=all Thanks again I am making this table area and I want the table to have a image as a background to give it more of a nice detail to it but I can't figure out how to get it to work for the table. Thank you. I took over a website from a graphic designer. Needless to say, everything including all the text was a graphic. Now having said that I have an about page that is just that. I have taken that graphic and yes I know I should probably break it up but. So what I have done is take all or almost all of the text off of the graphic, the problem is, the customer can't change the text on their about page because of it being a graphic. Now I can set the graphic as a background image or a single image on a page. And what I need to do is float text over the image. Here is the image And here is the new image So how would I do the same with the text only using real text? Right now I have the image in a table and the text right justified. I'm sure there is a better way. When a user has the text display options set to big, the text gets out of the box. Does anybody have an idea to fix this or any alternative I can use so that this doesnt happen? I know its not the best design or css implementation but its my first css website: http://aplistia.com/unitedTours/UnitedTours.php (look at the white box surrounding the links: home, reserve, contact etc in the left side of the website.) the css is he http://aplistia.com/unitedTours/booksite.css Hi All, It has been 20 years since I last wrote a program and CSS wasn't even thought of then so I need a little help. I wish to place a text area/box with a background I can put text on top of in my html. Any image should work. I wish the text area/box to start 15% from the left edge and cover 70% of the screen width and be as high as the image. I would like the image to automatically re-size to take care of different screen resolutions. I would like to have no scroll bars on the text area/box and I would like the text to be fixed so it cannot be changed by someone typing in the text area/box. However for future reference I would like to know how to turn the scroll bars on so the text scrolls but the image stays fixed. I have included the html I thought would work but doesn't. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks, **** Roose <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" > <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type"" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <meta name="revisit-after" content="7 days"> <meta content="MSHTML 6.00.5730.13" name="GENERATOR" > <title>TestBox</title> <style tyle=text/css> txta { width: 735px; background-image: url(new.jpg); border: 1px solid #781351; height: 80px; padding: 1px; position: absolute; left:15%; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="txta"> <textarea name="t1" width "735px" height: "85px"> </div> </body> </html> I am trying to make a rectangle with an image on the left and a horizontal list of anchor links on the right.

I can make my menu using ul/li elements with either a background image with text in the li or I can just create an image with text in it and having alt text. Is there a difference in regards to search engines and is there any other reason that I would want to have actual text with a background img on the li? The reason that I would want to use images with the text built into them is that the text will no be resized and I can use a specific font. I'm trying to go through examples out there and get a handle on stretching background images with an opacity text box overlaying the image. I have it working in IE7, IE6, and Firefox 2.0.0.16 with one weird little thing. In Firefox only, if I have the page designated as the home page or I hit refresh, the background image doesn't appear - just a completely white page. If I have it as a link or highlight the url itself and hit enter, the background appears. Any ideas? It's pretty hideous - it's a test, but here's the url: http://www.mahec.net/default3.aspx Here's the code: Code: <%@ Page Language="VB" %>

Hey as the topic title says, can I put a background-image on a text input so that it shows in safari? I can't figure it out and can't find anything using google. Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks Hi All, Here's my issue... I have decided to try an all css-based layout which will incorporate: 1. a background image (770px wide) that repeats on the y axis in the BODY tag 2. a background image that will not repeat in a DIV tag that is slightly less wide (750px) than the BODY tag's background image The background image in the BODY will repeat on the y axis and provide a backdrop and edges that extend beyond and below the background image contained in the DIV tag which will also contain the main content/text for the site. [ Note: The background-image in the DIV tag is 631px in height. ] The problem is as follows: Since I do not have enough text to extend the content DIV to the height of the background image and/or beyond, the background image is not being fully displayed; the top and bottom of the background image is being cut off and the image as a whole is being pushed upward at the same time. To see the problem: http://publictrust.ca/css/default.htm The css is as follows: body { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #260D0D; font-size: 0.8em; background-color: #260D0D; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-image: url(../images/body-bg.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-y; background-position: center center; } #divHeader { margin: 0px; width: 750px; color: #260D0D; } #divMain { background-color: #EDCCA1; background-image: url(../images/container-bg.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center center; width: 750px; color: #260D0D; } #divFooter { text-align: center; font-size: 0.7em; margin: 25px 0 0 0; } #divHeader, #divMain, #divFooter { width:750px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; color: #260D0D; } #leftMenu { float:left; margin:130px 0 0 5px; padding: 0px; width:150px; } #divMainContent { float:right; width:500px; margin: 150px 5px 50px 5px; border-top: 1px solid #260D0D; } The css file can be downloaded at: http://publictrust.ca/css/css/template_css2.css Caveat: the solution must work in IE and mozilla/netscape AND when I add more text to the main content area, the DIV must stretch downwards to accommodate the extra text *without* changing the height of the divHeader & divFooter. Thanks in Advance, mne |
