CSS - Firefox Error Rendering Background Positioning Of Image
Hey folks, here's an odd problem that's got me totally stumped.
I've got a nine item unordered list, each of which is a link that contains both text and a background image. The background image is a large spritebox. I'm using background-position to shift the spritebox to display the sprite specific to the a:link and also to display a separate a:hover version. Looks great in Safari and CSSEdit, but in Firefox four of the links are misplaced and the sprite is incorrect. The hover state is correct, however. This is hard to explain, but the example should help illustrate the problem. My thought was that it was related the psuedo class of a:link, but nothing I've tried seems to help. Any thoughts? The example file contains both the HTML and the CSS (just to simplify this problem for this forum). The full background image and the file containing the sprites is at my website, artmeetsearth dot org slash 2011 slash codetest dot html. To get the image type socialmediaicons.jpg instead of codetest. Thanks for any help you can offer! Similar TutorialsHello, I recently started creating websites again and I have been pulling my hair out on this Firefox compatibility issue. The site navigation looks great in IE but in Firefox a couple of the background images are skewed down and to the left. Since all my tricks from years ago are so outdated now, I decided to try CSS for a simplified navigation setup. The code is probably pretty messy since I chopped it together from numerous sources and still am not completely sure how it works. Background: I created a large 794x1200 PNG image that contains two complete border and navigation sets. I am using CSS to both position the appropriate portion in each table/cell as well as switching to a slice on the 2nd image set for rollover purposes. An example of the current test is he (URL address blocked: See forum rules) *not sure if this is okay but would be best to see the example. If it is not allowed as a non-clickable then feel free to delete. It is here - classtime . org / test6 . htm and the navigation image is he (URL address blocked: See forum rules) *classtime . org / navigate . png I would be eternally grateful to anyone that can help me figure out why the site works great in IE but is coming up skewed in Firefox. As a side note, when I pull up the site in Frontpage, it shows the left-most cell as being larger than it is supposed to be even though it is hardcoded. To get my left image bar to show up in the correct place I had to use a value of "left: -40px;" I'm not sure why that is but I suspect it has something to do with the problem. Thank you very much for taking a look. My jumbled code is as follows: Code:

Problem 1 (Opera rendering): Opera (and only Opera from what I've noticed) is extended the border for the menu options into the side border. How can I eliminate this behavior? I added a margin-left: 1px to the menu and that will render it correctly in Opera but have an extra 1px of whitespace everywhere else. Problem 2: I'm trying to position this menu such that it lines up exactly with an image 243px high. One question I have is that if I add a 1px top and bottom border to an image that is 243px high, would that object still be 243px high or now 245px high? Also, I want to indent the menu options slightly so that they aren't exactly next to the image but I still need the entire bar to serve as a link. What would be the best approach to line up these objects. I can sort of do it with margin-top but I'm sure that's not the best way to go. Edited to add: Problem 3: The menu does not align with the left edge of the main section in IE and only IE. What can I do to fix this? Hello! If i need to put background-image at the bottom of display i use such css rule: background-position: bottom; but in my case i need image to be fixed in right bottom corner. apparently i cant use two declarations like: background-position: bottom; background-position: right; so how could i attain this via just CSS? Hi, I learned css a couple of years ago but am real rusty...anyways, here is an image that i wanted as the background to the top of the page. in the white space, i simply want a horizontal menu with 4 links. i cannot figure out how to position my links in that space correctly. any help appreciated!

I have successfully added a background image to the page but it does not center how I want it to. Right now it is positioned at top center. I would like to move it to Center center of entire page. Using this code instead of center for background-position did not do anything. Neither did 50%, 50%. What can I do to move this over. I have the same problem with a picture file to go above the background file and web links which are all placed at top left of page. It would be nice to move them to top center of page. How is this possible through html code? Here is the code for the background image: <style type="text/css"> body { background-image: url(picture/bamboo.jpg) } body { background-position: center } body {background-repeat: no-repeat } </style> Thank you for your help, Hi there, I'm trying to position a background image (starting 756 pixels from the left) which is repeating horizontally - but of course am running into problems because as soon as you repeat-x an image repeats the whole screen, not taking into account background positions. Does anyone have any ideas how I can possibly avoid this?! The only thing I can think of is to create a huge image to factor in for all screen solutions, and just not repeat it at all. I'd prefer not to do it this way as firstly it's not very clean, and secondly it will result in a large file size. Here is a link to the background image to show you what I'm talking about: http://joshsphotos.com/images/bg.jpg I've also put in the CSS that would show what I'm trying to achieve. Code:
body {
background-image: url(../images/bg_repeat.jpg);
background-position: 756px 0px;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}
Any help would be most appreciated. Hi all Having some problems with background image positioning - all CSS/XHTML has been validated See http://community.foe.co.uk/tmp/quote_and_image_test.html Relevant CSS : Code: #imageleft {padding:0px; float:left; width:auto; margin-right:5px; margin-bottom:5px}

</div></blockquote>
The opening quote mark is hidden behind the image - as you can see it has a position of left, and for some reason the <div> within the <blockquote> is including the image so is full width. Any help appreciated I have worked out a section banner. There is one for each section in a column of 4 or 5. The buttons on the left call a JavaScript that move DIVs up and down, reordering the content as the user wishes. Anyway, I'm having trouble figuring out how to make the center section where the Title is, non-fixed (expand to fit the space). I'd like it to spread out to as wide as the container allows, minus the width of the left and right ends, of course. See the actual thingy on a test page he Siliconsatan Here's the styles: Code:

It looks like this: Hi all, Okay, so I've got a page with a central column which has a drop-shadow and a background image... The obvious problem is that the repeated background image doesn't always line-up with the background image in the dropshadow. Plus, The backround image changes position whenever the page is resized. So I was looking here, to see if I could find the code to center the background image in the screen, and make it a fixed position, but even then, when you resize the page, the background image seems to move with it. Does anyone know how to fix a background image so that it will stay aligned with the central content/dropshadow of the page? Thanks. Hi I am trying to position a background image in my list, but I can't seem to position it where I want it, heres the example http://dmumford.bizhat.com/test/list.htm I need the bullet to be before the link home, but when I change the padding in the ul class the bullett moves with it, if that makes sense. Could someone please help me! Thank you! I have a problem I can't resolve as I'm out of my depth with this CSS positioning issue on a joomla site with a bespoke template I have customised. The problem is that the client (a graphic designer) created a menu design where the top level menu buttons overlap with a curve. I have assigned a background image on hover and it works well. You can see it he I can't post an image of the menu as it won't let me, being a new poster, which is a pain... Code: #horiz-menu a:hover {
display: block;
z-index: 100;
line-height: 22px;
left:-53px;
position: relative;
background: url("../images/style9/menu-bar-hover.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
padding-left:63px;
height:27px;
width:162px;
border-bottom:1px solid #fff;
margin-bottom:-3px;
}
To achieve the overlap, the background has to sit behind the button to its left and that is achieved by moving it a fixed amount of pixels leftward. The menu text is then put back in place with the padding. However the client now wants the hovered image to stick in the parent position when the submenu items are hovered over. I've achieved this with: Code: #horiz-menu li.parent.active a {
background: url("../images/style9/menu-bar-hover.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
z-index: 100;
line-height: 22px;
left:-53px;
position: relative;
padding-left:63px;
height:27px;
width:162px;
border-bottom:1px solid #fff;
}
The trouble is that although the background image is positioned correctly, it has a knock-on effect on all the submenu list items which are being positioned to the beginning of the background image, 53 pixels to the left... I cannot pad the submenu items over to the right as it causes all the other submenus items under the other parents to move to the right too. I suppose my question is twofold: is there any way of setting the active parent list item background image position without the children items inheriting the position change? ; is there a better way of doing what I am attempting to do? If the client had not specified overlapping buttons I would be in the clear but my client was a graphic designer who designed without any thought as to the css implications. The requirements have been signed off and I have to find a way of implementing it. Please, any thoughts? I am not a css coder and I find css to be impenetrable, arcane whilst being slow and difficult to debug. All help really appreciated. Hey Guys, I designed a header logo in the top left corner of my psd document. I am now slicing my design up and I can't seem to be able to position the header into the top left hand corner. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is my CSS Code: ul#nav { height: 91px; width: 271px; margin:30 auto; background: url(images/logo.jpg) no-repeat; } hello all, I am not very well experienced with CSS, so, please, bear with me. this question may sound stupid. I have a web page that is comprised of one main table. Except for the banner on top (1 column), the main row has two columns. These columns will comprise of: 1) left column: Menu 2) right column: page content. In the left column, the menu, I would like to have a background image sitting behind the menu. I have attempted to use CSS to put an image behind the menu: Code: .menu_back {background: url('Pics/Web/menu_background.jpg') no-repeat #ffffff;}
And my html looks like this: Code: <table width = "100%" class = "menu_back"> This does not work. After scouring the web without any real success , I humbly ask for ur help. I am designing for Firefox hoping it will work fine under IE. Thanking u in advance. Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me get this background image to show up in firefox. It shows up in IE.

It works perfectly in IE-6 but not in firefox, or any other browser for that matter (i used browsercam). I have issues with the background images not displaying as they should do. And not only that, my flash animation at the top of the page isnt displaying in FF either! Heres a link to my website And heres a link to the CSS file someone help please!

Many thanks. I have two bits of code that work in IE, but not in Firefox, and I have no idea why! They both use the background-image property Here is the first: Code:
a.bio {
display: block;
width: 150px;
height: 26px;
background-image:url(C:\Apache 2.2\htdocs\_empaudio\test\images\btn_bio.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
a.bio:hover {
background-image:url(C:\Apache 2.2\htdocs\_empaudio\test\images\btn_bio_h.jpg);
}
Code: <a class="bio" href=""></a> And the second: Code:
td.window
{
