CSS - Replacing Spacer Images With Css
Hi,
I have tried many times but for the life of me cannot understand css. It seems more of a nightmare than tables themselves. I would appreciate if anyone could give me an example of replacing a few spacer images with the css and html corresponding code for the following. Code: <td width="1"><img src="./images/clearpixel.gif" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt=""></td> <td width="8"><img src="./images/clearpixel.gif" width="8" height="1" border="0" alt=""></td> Hopefully I will be able to understand it more then. Thanks much in advance. Gibs Similar TutorialsThis is the weirdest thing, and I don't know what is wrong, and its driving me crazy. I have the following html code. Code: <body> <div id="container_bg"> <div id="container"> <div id="brand_bar"> <div id="logoleft"> Logo1 </div> <div id="logoright"> Logo2 </div> </div> <div class="header"> Big Image goes here </div> <div class="body"> <div id="left"> Left Column </div> <div id="right"> Right Column </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="clear"></div> <div id="footer_bg"> Footer goes here </div> </body> </html> The css is as follows... Code:
body {
margin: 0px;
background: #CCC;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
text-align: center;
}
.clear {
clear: both;
}
#logoleft {
float: left;
width: 350px;
}
#logoright {
width: 347px;
}
#container_bg {
width: 768px;
margin: 0px auto;
background-image: url(../images/container_bg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
padding-bottom: 20px;
}
#footer_bg {
width: 768px;
height: 40px;
margin: 0px auto;
background-image: url(../images/footer_bg.gif);
}
#container {
width: 700px;
margin: 0px auto;
text-align: left;
}
#left {
float: left;
width: 250px;
}
#right {
width: 450px;
}
The weird thing is...I can't make left and right add up to 700 or its "bigger" than its container. I actually have to make the total add up to 697 or they won't stay on the same line. Is there just a mysterious 3 px space between divs...or am I missing something? The same with logoleft and logoright...if I make them the same (350px) to add up to 700px...it won't stay on the same line...what is going on? Hi all, I've tried searching around for this issue, but I've not found any help so far and it's driving me nuts. I hope someone here can advise. This is an abridged version of the site's code for example: Code: <style type="text/css">

I've placed the Country Title in an H2 tag, then beneath that, each anchor is enclosed in a DIV, and is set as a left-floated block. Then I placed a spacer DIV (clear: both) to create a new line, then repeated with H2 and links. This all works fine in Firefox, IE7 and Opera, but of course IE6 is being a pig as usual. The spacer DIV is pushed to sit alongside the bottom of the left column, and I can't figure out how to (or if I can) stop this. I can't add in links properly, so I hope this is acceptable under the rules -- The site in question is: www.swalings .com/swalings/index4.asp and here's a screenshot of IE6 behaviour: www.swalings .com/images/swalings-ie6-troubleshoot.jpg Hopefully that's enough information to go on, please let me know if there's something I missed out. Thanks a lot! Rob Hello, I'm trying to replace one CSS nav menu with another, is there anyone who is familiar enough to assist me? How could I make <div class="code"> replace HTML code to it's text equivalent? Like, < to <? Is there any CSS way to do it? And if not, how could I possibly go about doing it? I'm using an external style sheet and a Drupal site. I am pretty much of a CSS novice. No matter what I do, the default bullet is displaying. Sometimes, in the CSS stylesheet, I can have a graphic show up, but the regular bullet is showing as well. I want to make a separate bullet that I can use just on certain pages. It's on the home page of invisibleillnessdocfinder dot com I don't see anywhere to upload the style sheet to show the code. There is a template, so even though I'm putting "List-style=none" the default tiny bullet shows up. I'll be glad to email the stylesheet to anyone who can help. Thanks, Susan When watching the layout (Layout: www. the daniel . dk /test/) it seems oh so fine, but that is just one picture in a wrapper. When doing it in dreamweaver it looks perfect, but when uploading it and testing it, it screws up. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Screwing up: www. the daniel . dk /test2/index.html Style: www. the daniel . dk /test2/style.css I sliced and diced and saved as CSS in photoshop, where it puts it as images instead of div bg, and I replaced them to div bg's but it didnt work out. Can anyone help making it correct? Hello, I currently have a Table layout that uses 2 <td>s to display a picture in the left <td> and text in the right <td> so something like this: Code: <tr> <td>Image</td> <td>Text about the Image</td> </tr> Is there a way to rebuild this using DIV tags. I have had so much luck using Code: <DIV> <ul> <li>Image Text</li> <li>Image Text</li> </ul> The problem with this is the text doesn't display properly - It either displays underneath the image, or if I use "vertical-align:text-top", it aligns the top line of the text to the top of the image and then displays the rest of the text underneath the image. Any suggestions would be welcome if there is any way around this? Hi, My client very much likes a website that belongs to their competition. The thing she likes the most is the fact that the content is centered horizontally and vertically in the browser window. The way they (her competition) have constructed the site is to to place all the content inside a table 100% wide and 100% high with the content centered horizontally and vertically using the table's valign and align attributes. However, this isn't very "standards", is it . . . so, does anyone know of a way this same effect (content centered horizontally and vertically in browser window) can be acheived using CSS? Thanks! Hi there, I've read that for using decorative images in web design its preferred that you apply them as background images instead of using the <img> tag, as using the <img> tag stops the page from displaying until all the images have fully loaded in the browser, where as using a css background image will output the page completely, then start to load in the images (users can start reading the text whilst the images load in). I was just wondering really if anyone else has used this method and gone to the extreme measure if replacing all <img> tags with css background images to dramatically improve their page load speeds? So for example... before Code: <img src="my_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Thumbnail Graphic" title="Thumbnail Graphic" width="100" height="70" /> after Code: .thumb {
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 100px;
height: 70px;
}
<div class="thumb" style="backgound-image: url('my_thumbnail.jpg");"></div>
Just an idea really, not sure on how standard compliant it is but I might test it out later to see what speed improvements it brings. I'd be very interested in anyones thoughts Im just curious, what are the advantages of using css to import all your images (that arnt dynamic) as apposed to inserting them into your html using the <img> tag? i can only find the script to show background images in a css style sheet..but how would I go about for example showing an image not as background? i have style switcher, but I'm wanting to use buttons aswell for example blue.gif and red.gif using 2 different styles. how would I show the image in css?, which I can also put a link on maybe in the html or css? HElP! thanks hey guys.. I was thinking about changing my site from being mostly table based for the layout to css based but for some reason theres a small gap between images in IE... no gap in FF though.. I made two example pages 1 without using images, and just a colored background, and one with images... the height and width for the backgrounds and for the images are both the same. small gap at the bottom of each of the divs after the image ends. www.wmbclan.com/test.php just some background colors.. without any gap between the colors. www.wmbclan.com/test2.php anyone know how to fix this? I'm trying to get the 2 tabs of this mini calendar to be right next to each other. I've changed the names of all the divs surrounding the images and still can't get it to take out that padding. I've also tried img { margin:0px; padding:0px; } and it still doesn't work. Any ideas? Hi, I can't believe I'm posting this but I can't seem to get this to work. I cannot load a background image through a simple div tag. It works if I switch the id selector to the BODY tag in my code and displays the image but does not work if I use the selector with the DIV tag. I have no idea why. Please help My HTML file Quote: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Title of the document</title> <LINK REL=StyleSheet HREF="styles.css" TYPE="text/css"> </head> <div id="header"> Div Tag here </div> <body> The content of the document...... </body> </html> My CSS file Quote: #header { background-image: url(navtext.png); background-image: no-repeat; } Use any image you have to test. My header image and menu looks ok in Opera and FF but why is IE rescaling it? It looks like crap. thanks in advance www.jefspalace.be/blog/ Jef currently at my site i have rollover images on my menu which are gif files and have parallel gif files that are "lit up" which show when the user puts their mouse over the gif which looks very pretty and i like it, unfourtnatly it uses javascript. this creates a couple issues, one is that the user needs javascript for this too work, the other is i think it's casuing my page to load slow. someone said something about doing rollover images with CSS. im willing to try it but i don't understand or have a clue how to do this. also is using CSS any better? (speed wise most importantly) Hi I have a table which i want to add 2 background images too. what i have is. one image with no-repeat at the top. Then for the rest of the table, i want to have a gradient background. Is this possible? Ok just so you know what I am trying to do here is a link to the problem page. -Problem aligning images- Well ok what I want is for the position of the images to be displayed in absolute positions to the page and not to the image before it. Since I am really new to CSS I can't seem to find a good way to do this (without using tables UGH!). I have read about using float and div tags but not sure how to go about it. Here is a link to my other page of pics that display as I want them only because the pics are all the same size. -Images displayed correctly- This is the only code I have so far for displaying the images. The first img style aligns the image to the left and the 2nd to center and the 3rd to the right. Code:
/* Set the style for image(s) displayed */
img.left
{
margin-left: 10em;
}
img.center
{
margin-left: 3em;
img.right
{
margin-left: 3em;
}
Hope that makes sense, Gerbill |
