CSS - Help W/ Body Height & Background Image
Hello, I had a site exactly how I wanted to and messed up a css file. I am almost back to where I was but I am having an issue with the background image of the body element. Please look at this layout - Client Website . Notice how the hardwood floor does not go all the down? I have the image sized to 1500 pixels high and yesterday I did not have this issue. Also, when I outline elements in FF I see the body element seems to fall short. Any help would be appreciated. Tom

Any help welcome thanks Rich Hi guys, Is it possible in CSS to change the colour / image of the page background dynamically. So that as you hovered over different links , the background of the page changed. I know you can do this in JS but how would you do it in CSS? I was kinda thinking something like: a.linkname:hover, a.linkname:focus body { background-color:#00FF00; } but thats just a guess and doesnt work lol. Many Thanks, Alvin. Hello DevShed CSS Help Forum, I have a wierd problem (seems I have a knack for that ) with a design I'm working on. When you first go to this page there is some disruption around the two floated columns in the background image that is assigned to the body tag: (Right now the page is only working in non-IE browsers, but I don't know any developers that regularly use IE anyways...LOL) http://www.spidersend.com/new_site/newsite4/test6.html However if you refresh the page or click to another tab and then back to that page it corrects itself. Once I remove the sidebar and the float property from the css on the main content area the issue is gone so it has to be something to do with that. Has anybody experienced this before? I just find it odd that it doesn't stay messed up, but corrects itself, even if you refresh and clear the cache. Confusing and wierd. Any ideas? Theories? Any and all ideas are much appreciated. Here is the CSS: Code:
body

I'm working on a pet project on the off chance that I could be hired by a small business referral organization in the city where I live, so this isn't super urgent. I'm also not a web developer by trade, more IT, so if I make any obvious mistakes, feel free to point them out. I've got a simple absolute-positioned two-column layout and a two-color background that I want to tile vertically behind it. The problem seems to be that the browsers ( IE and FF, haven't tried chrome/safari/opera) seem to think that the body ends at the bottom of the logo I set on top, and won't tile it beyond the bottom of the image.

This isn't a paid gig i am trying to have the background of all pages appear like this one: www(dot)grimebikes(dot)com/events/ however it will only fill its parent container, like this www(dot)grimebikes(dot)com/media/ fade1000.png is the image i need to cover the entire pages content. /* HTML Tag Redefinition */ html { height: 100%; background: #000000 url(images/background.png) center center fixed; background-size: cover;} body { padding: 0px; margin: auto; height:100%; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12px; } img { border: 0px; } a {cursorointer; } /* Page Structure / Navigation */ #page { position:relative; width: 1000px; margin: auto; text-align:left; background: url(images/fade1000.png) repeat-y; min-height:200%;} #page.logo {position:absolute; top:0; left:0; width:330;} #page input { color: #c2d826; background-color: #000000; border-style:solid; border-width:1px; border-color:#444444; padding:2px; font-size:10px;} #page #content {width: 900px; margin:auto; text-align:left; position:relative; height:100%; } #page #content #header{ position:relative; width:900px; float:left; } Below is what I have. Displays fine in FF. In IE, there is approximatly a 13px white space under the image. Can't find an answer to this. Any insight is appreciated. --Sean HTML: <p id="dot"></p> CSS: #dot { position:relative; left: 0px; top: 0px; width:200px; height:6px; background-image: url(dot.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-x; line-height:0pt; margin: 0px; } Hey guys, how are you? So, I got two questions. Right now, on my main pages I have a fixed height, and wondering the best way to change it to a liquid one, so no matter how long the page is, I get a white background that's consistent with my 'main' <div>. And the second one, is how do I get a second background image on the body? I'm probably going to use almost almost a mirror type gradient of the top gradient, but not sure how to add it. You can view the two problems here http://thecheckoutplace.com/ home page). Thanks for your time, cheers. Here is a small snippet of my CSS: Code:
body {
font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif;
color: #0A142B;
background-color: #006699;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
text-align: left;
}
#main {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
height: inherit;
padding: 5px;
}
My question is that in the <div id="main"> how can I get that to set the height to 100% from the body, I have tried both setting it to 100% and inherit and it just stays the same height. Hello, I'm working on a website for a client: http://evoxdesigns.com/rimlox/ http://evoxdesigns.com/rimlox/rimlox.css My current problem is getting the body to scale to 100% height. At the moment, it stretches to 100% of the browser window, which is great, but if if the content within all the nested divs expands to a height larger than that of the screen, the background does expand with it. In my troubleshooting, I gave the body a 1px border and found out that the body remains at the fixed size of the window even though the content within it expands. I tried messing with the overflow property, all to no avail. I'd appreciate any help I can get on this one. Hi all, I would like to be able to have the body background change when moving from page to page. Is it possible, without javascript. Code: body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px 0px 5px 0px;
background: url(blue2.jpg) fixed;
} {
Specifically the surrounding blue2.jpg that frames the page. page link css link Thanks. 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 a problem dynamically setting the html background color when i initially set it with css. if i have a javascript function: function changeColor() { document.bgColor = '#FFFF00'; } and call it when i click a button the background color changes like you'd expect. but if i initialize the background color like this: body{background-color: #FF0000;} and then later call my javascript function to change the background color like before, it doesn't do anything. what's going on here? and how can i initialize the background color and still be able to dynamically change it? thanks I haven't succeed in getting the Javascript's DOM to tell me what the body's background color is... Here's the code I got Code:
mybody = document.getElementsByTagName("body");
alert(mybody.getAttribute("background-color"));
//alert(mybody.style.backgroundColor);
Nice references I looked up from are http://www.mozilla.org/docs/dom/technote/tn-dom-table/ http://www.sitepoint.com/print/rough-guide-dom http://www.mozilla.org/docs/dom/domref/dom_style_ref.html http://developer.apple.com/internet/webcontent/dom2ii.html Hi everyone, this is my first post and I hope it's easily resolved. I'm new to CSS and working through CSS - The Missing Manual while slowly overhauling an old table-based web journal on the side. I'm trying to do the following: Left - navbar (~200px) Center - journal postings (~600px) Right - fixed image (~200px) // I want this to always be in sight I've gotten the first two nailed down nicely, but I'm having a really hard time with getting the fixed image to work. In extreme shorthand, the code relationship looks like this: <body> <nav-journal-image-wrapper width=1000> <nav-journal-wrapper width=800> <nav width=200> <journal width=600> </njw> </njiw> With the extra 200px of width in the final wrapper, I've been able to get the background image to be fixed and show nicely to the right of my navbar and journal post by making it the same 1000px in width. If the window is stretched, everything stays where it belongs - you just see more body background color. The problem is, when the window is condensed the final wrapper - despite having a set width - also is squeezed and my background image recedes under the journals. What I don't understand is why my navbar and journals seem impervious to small windows, but the wrapper around them with the background image is not? My code validates, and the relevant parts of the CSS start now: Code: <style type="text/css">
body {
background-color:#333;
}
/* without this wrapper, the background in #nav-post-portrait-wrapper aligns
with the screen right, not the wrapper's right */
#final-wrapper {

margin: 0 auto 0 auto; padding: 0;
}
/* this gives me an extra 200px on the right to show the fixed background image */

padding: 0;

Thank you very much! Hey All, It's been a while, and my CSS knowledge is a bit rusty (not that it was ever all that;-). Anyway... Working on a custom wordpress admin write panel, I have a table with dynamic classes in a helper.css for indicating row status(includes .myclass tr:hover), which works great everywhere EXCEPT in our old friend IE6. Turns out that the wordpress "global.css" for admin panels defines the following: Code:
html,body,div,span,applet,object,iframe,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,p,blockquote,pre,a,abbr,acronym,address,bi g,
cite,code,del,dfn,em,font,img,ins,kbd,q,s,samp,small,strike,strong,sub,sup,tt,var,b,u,i,center,dl,dt ,dd,
ol,ul,li,fieldset,form,label,legend,table,caption,tbody,tfoot,thead,tr,th,td
{ margin:0;padding:0;border:0;outline:0;background:transparent;}
where, though I can't remember how I stumbled onto it, upon removing "background:transparent;" in wp admins global.css everything is hunky dory in IE6 too -- ok, not the tr :hover{ because IE6 only supports :hover on <a>s. but at least the row classes are displayed with no other discernible impact on this or any other admin pages in IE6 or any other browser. Of course, I don't want to go changing wordpress core code just to scratch my little itch, but I was hoping someone might suggest a means of overriding the background:transparent in wp admins global.css either in my own helper.css or in the on the page itself? Hullo, I have an issue here that I have been trying to find a solution for for the past week, but I suppose I don't really know what exactly to look for. I want to make a background that consists of different horizontal color strips. The reason I do not want to use an image and repeat it is because the strips are different in height. I want them to shrink/expand vertically keeping their proportion to each other ( instead of repeating vertically) in case the screen used to view the website is smaller/ bigger than mine. I tried creating different elements using <div id="name"> and assigning a background color and define a percentage for the height, however this doesn't work because the element has to have text inside it to expand according to it. I do not want to assign fixed heights because as I said I want them to expand and shrink proportionally. If you know a way to do this even if it is not CSS please let me know. All help is appreciated. Thanks. I've been using CSS for a couple of days now, and am a bit stuck on how to change the main background image in the body when I hover over a menu item on the side bar. Changing the menu item background seemed easy enough. But, I suspect I am missing a key piece on how to get access to a body style from inside a list style. Here is the short section I am working on, with the full CSS file shown below that. This validates with a couple of warnings about my black on black color selection. I would certainly appreciate any help with this.

Hi all, I am trying to automate everything on my test website and I have one more angle to cover. In effect, I want to adjust the line-height property (which I can do) based on the number of files within a specific folder (PHP and already done). The more files in the folder, the lower the line-height value must be. This is to ensure if I copy additional files into the folder, then the navigation menu (which is PHP reading files in this particular folder) will alter the CSS line-height property accordingly to ensure it can never exceed a certain height. Sounds wierd? go to www.re3.org.uk (next to the RE3 image, I have a list of hyperlinks which are obtained from files within the folder) My problem, when adjusting the CSS property (which is set as cm in *.css file) in javascript, it doesn't correspond correctly, the line-height property in javascript doesn't appear to be work in cm but some other measurement. Does anyone know how to change what unit of measurement Javascript works in? Or does anyone know what unit of measurement javascript uses when adjusting line-height / line-width values? I want to create a mini-algorithm that works out the appropriate line-height based on the image height (got that already) and the number of files in the folder (got that too) so the menu automatically adjusts to fit. Whew! |
