CSS - Issue With Background-position
I'm currently using the tutorial located at Use Sprites to Create an Awesomeness-Filled Navigation Menu
Based on that I've created a sprite image that is 960x88. I've got my menu in place, but the background-position completely fails. While I can change the width of each item, revealing more or less of the image it still only shows the first part of the image, repeating "Home". See attached screenshot for example of what it's doing. Here is my HTML and CSS: html Code: Original - html Code <nav> <ul id="main_nav"> <li><a href="#" class="home"></a></li> <li><a href="#" class="case_studies"></a></li> <li><a href="#" class="solutions"></a></li> <li><a href="#" class="free_quotes"></a></li> <li><a href="#" class="government"></a></li> <li><a href="#" class="recycle"></a></li> <li><a href="#" class="resources"></a></li> <li><a href="#" class="about_us"></a></li> <li><a href="#" class="contact_us"></a></li> <li><a href="#" class="login"></a></li> </ul> </nav> <nav> <ul id="main_nav"> <li><a href="#" class="home"></a></li> <li><a href="#" class="case_studies"></a></li> <li><a href="#" class="solutions"></a></li> <li><a href="#" class="free_quotes"></a></li> <li><a href="#" class="government"></a></li> <li><a href="#" class="recycle"></a></li> <li><a href="#" class="resources"></a></li> <li><a href="#" class="about_us"></a></li> <li><a href="#" class="contact_us"></a></li> <li><a href="#" class="login"></a></li> </ul> </nav> css Code: Original - css Code #main_nav { height: 40px; } #main_nav li { float: left; } #main_nav li a { background:url(../images/main_nav_sprite.png); display: block; height: 40px; } .home { background-position: 0px 0px; width: 60px; height: 40px; } .case_studies { background-position: -60px 0px; width:120px; height:40px } .solutions { background-position: -180px 0px; width:100px; height:40px } .free_quotes { background-position: -280px 0px; width:100px; height:40px } .government { background-position: -380px 0px; width:120px; height:40px } .recycle { background-position: -455px 0px; width:75px; height:40px } .resources { background-position: -555px 0px; width:100px; height:40px } .about_us { background-position: -642px 0px; width:87px; height:40px } .contact_us { background-position: -748px 0px; width:106px; height:40px } .login { background-position: -822px 0px; width:74px; height:40px }

Any ideas? Hi all, I am having a problem with Firefox and Opera when it comes to background image positioning. It works fine in IE 5-7 and Netscape but... Opera places the image in the top left and Firefox places it at the lowest point of the body e.g. The Div tag and not the bottom of the page. I have uploaded the site for people to get the idea. click here the CSS code is as follows: Code:
body
{
font-size:62.5%;
font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial;
margin:0px;
border:0px;
background-color:#C98531;
background-image :url(../images/background.gif);
background-position:bottom left;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
Thanks in advance. Tom In IE7 on this page http://hometown.tmhdesign.com the background image position for my #main div is being ignored Code:
#main {
width: 990px;
margin: 0 auto;
min-height: 300px;
background: red url(images/style1/main1_div_bg.gif) 0 427px !important;
text-align: left;
}

thanks RF Hey Guys! Trying to add a background position to a div and position it top right. Works in FF and IE7, but IE6 wants to put it top left. Code: background: $hexcolor url(/v2/PHP/img/$logo) no-repeat top right; www.RoundtopRiders.com/v2/videos/ Thank you in advance! I have the following CSS and HTML: Code: <DIV STYLE="width: 50px; height: 10px; line-height: 10px; background-color: #D0D0D0;"> <DIV STYLE="width: 100%; height: 100%; background: url(/imgs/blog/stars/smallblock.png) -15px 0px no-repeat;"> </DIV> </DIV> In all browsers except Safari the outer div is covered by the inner div except for the very last 15px, hence the -15px to offset it. In Safari the inner div covers all of the outer div. Any way to fix this? ahh thanks figures it out never mind. *** After posting I have been playing with other options, but would still love to know why the bg position on .container_12 does not work. Please look at this page http://www.mts-diesel.com/index.php?cPath=20_24_56 There is an element w/ an class of container_12 that I have put an inline style declaration of style="background:transparent url(images/container_12_bg.jpg) 0 1000px !important;" I am trying to push the background down below the navigation but for some reason I can only move the background image to the right, and not down as needed. Thank you for any help. Tom I'm trying to create a tiered vertical navigation menu and I'm nearly there. Everything works correctly in FF but in IE the background-position property on the current menu item fails to position the bullet image. Removing the property displays it but at the margin which is set to 0px. I'm not that savvy with CSS so if there's a better approach to this I'm open to suggestions. Thanks for your help! Open in FF to see how it's supposed to work: Open in IE to see problem. Here's the HTML Code:

I am trying to make a rectangle with an image on the left and a horizontal list of anchor links on the right. Each anchor link should be a 32x32 px image with text underneath each image. My problem is that the anchor links are not tall enough and the text is on top of the image instead underneath it. Please help. Code: <style type="text/css">
.toolbar_list ul { float: right; text-align: right; margin:10px;}
.toolbar_list li{list-style: none;display: inline;}
.toolbar_list a { float: none; width: 32px; height: 32px; }
div.toolbarheader {line-height: 48px;padding-left: 55px;background-repeat: no-repeat; border-style:solid;}
.icon-32-delete { background-image: url(stdimages/icon-32/delete.png); }
.icon-32-save { background-image: url(stdimages/icon-32/save.png); }
.icon-32-new { background-image: url(stdimages/icon-32/new.png); }

I'm using background images on a <span> tag. Code: .thespan {
display: -moz-inline-box;
display: inline-block;
height: 16px;
width: 16px;
margin: 2px;
/* using longhand on purpose, since other classes override bits later */
background-image: url(../img/iw_ds_sprite.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 0px 0px;
}
And already there's an issue. IE (even 6!) FF2 and 3, and Safari all do what I expect. However, Opera is off by about 40 pixels. There is a shell around the span - changing this shell's class makes the internal background-position change, like so: Code: .theshell .thespan {
background-position: 0px -40px;
}
This actually works, except it doesn't. Opera, having been wrong in the first place, is now wrong by the same amount - it jumps to -80px. I've been pulling my hair out on this...I can't believe that it works in IE6 but not Opera! Any help is greatly appreciated. Tim Web page: http:/ / www. diffentest.pikadoo.com / difference / index.php?title=Mouse_vs_Rat CSS location: http:/ / diffentest.pikadoo.com / difference / skins / mistylook / main.css Works perfectly in FF, Safari and Opera. Problem: In IE6, #entityfamilies div has a width problem. If I specify width as 75%, it takes 75% of parent div whereas the other browser's seem to be considering window width. The second problem with IE6 is that the div scrolls away with the page (I don't want it to - and it remains static in FF). The problem with IE7 is that the entire div vanishes from the view. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I have been working this for hours and no sleep yet on Friday night. The CSS background-position: right; is not working in Firefox/Netscape, and just aligns the background image to the left. Know why? Hello all, I am having a problem I can't seem to figure out. The site is: http://www.ciccotticenter.org/test_site/ When you view the site in IE6, the logo in the top left corner disappears. I have tried everything I can think of. Interestingly when I add * { border: 1px solid red; } it works. But I can't figure out what thats doing to make it work. Any ideas? Thanks, Ryan Please look at this page - http://casadelsol.tmhdesign.com/about.asp I have a div with an id of "header". In that div I placed this code Code: <div style="width:200px;height:200px;background-color:yellow;margin:0 0 -50px 400px;z-index:10000"> </div> As you can see it goes under the absolutely positioned div element with an id of top_header. I want to put a drop-down menu in the top header area but it slides under the top_header element. Can you help? Thanks I can't figure out why the ul with the id #two is not responding to my position attempt. It is child of an li in the ul w/ a class .menu on www.eagletransmission.net If you mouse over Gallery the dropdown should be flush with the left side of the parent li but it is not. Aaaaargh Tom Hi, I have been beating my head against the wall here. My video position in firefox shows up over top of my other nested divs/classes. www.binaryshopper.com The site renders perfect in IE. When you spend more time on CSS than programming, something is wrong! I love CSS but it still doesn't do what it was intended to do. After years of CSS, you still have better control over layout using crappy tables!! Can someone please help me here before I start shooting Firefox developers? Even though I have used the background-color property, the background doesn't change to the color I specified. (CSS class "tutorial2" should have a gray background (#EDEDEC), but it doesn't display.) (I trying to create altnernating background for easier reading.) Code:
.tutorialpreview {
padding-right: 4px;
padding-left: 4px;
float: left;
padding-bottom: 2px;
padding-top: 2px;
border: 0px;
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
}
.tutorial {
height: 54px;
margin-bottom: 4px;
}
.tutorial2 {
background-color: #EDEDEC;
height: 54px;
margin-bottom: 4px;
}
.tutdesc {
height: 52px;
padding-top: 3px;
background-color: transparent;
