#art-page-background-simple-gradient { position: absolute; background-image: url('images/blogbg.png'); background-repeat:repeat-y; top:0; width: 1700px; height: 1200px; } Similar TutorialsHello everybody, I used the following line <td width="8" background="<?php print $image; ?>" height="15" style="background-repeat: no-Repeat"></td> and it worked well for IE, but in Mozilla the image wasn't displayed properly, so I used the following line for Mozilla: <td width="8"> <img src="<?php print $image; ?>" width="8" height="15" style="background-repeat: no-Repeat"> </img> but now the "style" property does not work, and there is a back ground repeat, how can I avoid the background repeat in Mozilla? I would appreciate some help on this problem of mine. I have working on this and can't really find a great answer for what I need my CSS to do. http://www.ambrelasweb.com/eshpi4/index.html I am trying to get the bg image (the people symbols) to reach to the bottom of the page for each different lengthwise page on this website without having to get a million <br> in there to make it continue down the page. Index Page: Code: <div id="symbolBG"><br /><br /><br /></div> <div id="wrapper">"All my other content"</div> CSS: Code: #wrapper { width: 1000px; text-align: left; position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 50%; margin-left: -500px; z-index: 2; height: auto; border-color: #FF0000; border-width: 3px; border-style: solid;} #symbolBG { width: 1350px; text-align: left; position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 50%; margin-left: -675px; z-index: 1; background: url(images/symbolBG.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-y; text-align: left; height: auto; border-color: #993333; border-width: 2px; border-style: solid;} I would appreciate any help anyone could provide. Thanks. I'm trying to vertically repeat a background image, but only in one way. Here is what I have right now: Code: background: white url(../images/side.gif); background-repeat: repeat-y; background-position: 612px 80px; I want the background image to start 80px from the top and repeat down, but NOT UP. Is there a way to do this? I'm trying to get a background image to repeat. The only way it works is if I actually declare the height ex: height: 1000px; If I don't declare it like that it simply doesn't appear at all. If I declare it as height:100%; it makes the background the height of the browser window, but it doesn't span the height of the entire page. Meaning that if the browser window is 800px tall, it'll only display 800px of background and anything beyond that is blank regardless of whether or not the content of the page extends past 800px. Here's the doc type and style I'm using. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> #container { position: absolute; text-align: left; width: 800px; background: url(homeback.jpg) repeat-y 100%; left: 50%; right: auto; bottom: auto; clear: both; margin-left: -400px; } I have a style sheet with a property that allows me to repeat an image from left to right. I want to go the opposite way, from right to left. Can I do this? How? Ok, I am building a site for a model and I have a stripped background for the left navigation. IE7 wont display it, but of course all the other browsers do. I cant post a link cause im a newbie to this forum, but I can post my code! any help would be great: Css Code Code: .container { width: 1000px; margin: 0px auto; } .header { background: url(../images/headerbg.jpg); height: 200px; width: 995px; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; } .background { background: url(../images/backgroud.jpg) repeat-x; width: 14px; } .leftnav { background: url(../images/stripes.jpg) repeat; float: left; width: 150px; color: #FFFFFF; visibility: visible; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; } .maincontent { background: #FFFFFF; width: 487px; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px; text-align: left; float: left; } .rightside { background: url(../images/body.jpg); float: right; height: 461px; width: 351px; margin-right: 2px; } .border1 { background: url(../images/border1.gif) repeat-x; height: 14px; } XHTML Code Code: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <link href="../css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" /> <style type="text/css"> <!-- body { background: url(../images/temp_slices_03.jpg) repeat-x; width: 1px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; } --> </style> </head> <body> <div align="center"> <div class="container"> <div class="header">Content for class "header" Goes Here</div> <div class="leftnav">Content for class "leftnav" Goes Here</div> <div class="maincontent">Content for class "maincontent" Goes Here</div> <div class="rightside">Content for class "rightside" Goes Here</div> </div> </div> </body> </html> currently i just use Code: background-image: url(images/layout/mem.png); to show an image as the background of a div, but if the image is smaller than the div it repeats. How do i stio it from repeating So this may be a dumb question but I see a lot of people who use css create images as small as possible. Usually something that is 750px wide and 1px tall(something around those dimensions) and then they simply apply a 'repeat-y' or 'repeat-x'. Now I understand what this does but I'm wondering why the image is made as small as possible. I know this makes the image smaller to download so I'm thinking that this speeds up the site loading because the browser is forced to repeat that single image along whatever axis. Am I right? Does the browser download the image once and then repeat it throughout the page? Hi everybody, i need some help figuring out some things with css and html: This is the CSS part of the code <style> .leftbanner{ background:url(leftbanner.jpg), right, repeat-y; } .topbanner{ height:100%; width:100%; background:url(topbanner.jpg), bottom, repeat-x; } body{ margin:0px; } this is the cell that i want the topbanner class to be used on. there are two more images in that cell but the strange thing for me is that i dont get any background image?!? any help ? <td colspan="2" align="center" valign="bottom" class="topbanner"> <img src="spacer40jpg" width="100%" height="1"> <br> <img src="kormrez.jpg" width="451" height="85"></td> have it display one on bottom left AND one bottom right? They are the same image, I just need it on both sides if possible. Hello, I am trying to automatically make my height of the website larger as more text is put in.

On the page I'm building I have a text area that starts off with a rough paper texture thats about 400 px tall (with text on top) and I want the rest of the text on top to overflow into a different y-repeat background image. I got it to work PERFECTLY in IE7, but firefox has been nothing but a pain. I know that I'm close since one browser is showing it correctly, but I need either a firefox-only fix or an overall fix that won't mess up the way IE7 displays it. To keep from posting the whole document I'll post the reference on my HTML page and the CSS itself (I can add more later if need be) CSS: Code: #textbgtop { width: 886px; min-height: 580px; background-image: url(img/TextBGtop2.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; padding-left: 14px; padding-right: 14px; } #maintextarea { width: 886px; background-image: url(img/TextBGrepeat.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-y; } HTML REFERENCE: Code: <div id="maintextarea"> <div id="textbgtop"> TEXT GOES HERE....I am running an DO WHILE statement that pulls content from a mySQL DB. The content is all displaying correctly. As it is, the page displays fine in IE7, but on firefox the top image is in the proper place, but the TextBGrepeat img is directly below it, and then the text overflows in the main page background, THEN the bottom nav bar is placed below that. </div></div> I don't know if I've provided enough information but does anyone see an obvious error? If not I can definately post more but I would need to modify some specifics. Thanks in advance for any help! -crazygol4 I am having a problem with back-ground repeat, it works fine in IE7 and most browsers except IE6 and lower, im not sure what to do? Website is: http://www.artandcraftsdirect.com/ I am trying to manage the background repeat using CSS. I have tried as many html hacks as I can think of, but none seems to work. Here is a sample of my style sheet .content{ padding: 0px;margin:0px; width:961px;height:100%; float:left; } #bgLeft { width:5px;height: 100%; min-height: 100%; background: url(img/bg_left.gif) repeat-y; float:left; } #bgRight { background:url(img/bg_right.gif) repeat-y 100%; width:5px;height:100%; min-height:100%; float:left; } .bodyMain{ padding: 0px;margin:0px; width:735px;height:100%; background-color: #f8f8f8; float:left; } And here is a copy of my html <div class="content" align="left"> <div id="bgLeft"> </div> <div class="bodyMain" > <!-- ###CONTENT### --> </div> <div id="bgRight"> </div> </div> n.b.: the content of my site must have two lines images (one left and one right - see bgLeft and bgRight stylesheet), whose height depends on the content space. In IE7 I can see the bgLeft and bgRight images, but not for all the vertical height, in Firefox I cannot see anything. Any ideas? thanks Hi there, I am helping a friend with a site of his. Basically, the problem is that an title-header image keeps getting repeated down the page when a page is more than a certain length. The page I am referring to is..... http://www.darajewelry.com/Merchant...ge=DJ/CTGY/IG-N If you scroll down, you will notice the brown bar repeating itself. The CSS code currently is: Code: body { background-image: url(graphics/00000001/bkgrd.gif); margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; } Now I thought adding : background-repeat: no-repeat; would solve it like below: Code: body { background-image: url(graphics/00000001/bkgrd.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; } But that doesn't work. The image doesn't even appear. As I'm relatively new to working with CSS, could some point me in the right direction. Many thanks! Nathan I'm trying to make a div have a background image that only appears down the left hand side, I thought that this would be simple enough but I got no background image at all. Code: div.bar { color: #000000; background-color: #cccccc; background-image: url(gfx/fade.gif); background-repeat: repeat-y;} Code: <div class="bar">Writing and stuff</div> What am I doing wrong? If it helps, here is the whole css file and here is the page I'm trying to use it on. I'm having a problem with my background image showing through under two floats (left and right), as you can see here . The CSS code I'm using to accomplish this is: Code: #webupdates { position: relative; float: left; width: 219px; min-height: 260px; background-color: #5A759F; } #webcontent { position: relative; float: right; width: 537px; min-height: 260px; background-color: #DFE2E8; } #flashlogo { position: relative; width: 778; height: 219; } #content_table { margin: 0 auto; width: 778px; background: #FFFFFF url(images/bg.jpg) repeat-y !important; All that shows up is the white BG. :( } And the portion of code I'm dealing with is: Code: <body style="background-color: #404044;"> <div id="content_table"> <div id="flashlogo"> ... </div> upper navigation images <div id="webupdates"> ... </div><div id="webcontent"> ... </div> <br /> <img src="images/bar_bottom.jpg" alt="" /> </div> </body> Thank you so much in advance for your help. I've been at this for hours. |
