CSS - Image Map Not Working Out.

Disregard pot

I simply transposed li and a tag

thanks anyway...

Hi everyone,

I just worked for two days to make my menu work on IE6. Now it works perfectly on IE6, but ironically it doesn't work on IE7 anymore.

Basically, I have a two line menu bar. Each line consists of 9 squares, some are images that are links and some are just decoration images. Each line ("menu1" and "menu2") is an unordered list, with a background image of one of the menus.

When one of the link squares is hovered, I want just this square to show a different place on the bottom of the background image.

So what doesn't work?
Only IE7 doesn't recognizes the link squares as links. No hover, No link. I can't navigate anywhere in IE7...

Please help me...!!

I've attached the relevant code, added comments and colored the parts that I think might cause the problem.

html:

Code:

	<div id="globalnav">
    
		<ul id="menu1">
        	<li id="nav_home"><a href="../home/" title="Home">home</a></li>
        	<li id="nav_about"><a href="../about/main.htm" title="About us">about us</a></li>
      		<li id="nav_recruit"><a href="../recruit/" title="Recruit">recruit</a></li>
		</ul>

	  	<ul id="menu2">
       	  <li id="nav_company" name="nav_company"><a href="../company/outline.htm" title="Company">company</a></li>
       	  <li id="nav_clients" name="nav_clients"><a href="../clients/clients.htm" title="Clients">clients</a></li>
   		  <li id="nav_contacts" name="nav_contacts"><a href="../contacts/" title="Contacts">recruit</a></li>
	  	</ul>
        
    </div>

css:

Code:

@charset "utf-8";

/* English Menu bar */

/* Box for the entire menu (two rows of ul) */

#globalnav	{
	height: 130px;
	width: 675px;
	}

/* Create box and put background image for each menu line */

#globalnav ul#menu1	{
	height: 62px;
	width: 675px;
	background: transparent url(../images/menu1.jpg) top left no-repeat;
	padding: 0;

	position: absolute;
	top: 0;
	width: 75;
	}
	
#globalnav li, #globalnav a {
	height: 62;
	display: block;
	}
	
 #globalnav a {

	text-decoration: none;
	text-indent: -9999px;
	display: block;
} 

/* Define the area on the background image of the ul which coressponds to each link box */

#nav_clients	{left: 375px; width: 75px;}
#nav_contacts	{left: 600px; width: 75px;}

/* Maybe the next part is unnecessary... */

#nav_home		{background: transparent url(../images/menu1.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;}
#nav_about		{background: transparent url(../images/menu1.jpg) -225px 0 no-repeat;}
#nav_recruit	{background: transparent url(../images/menu1.jpg) -525px 0 no-repeat;}

#nav_clients	{background: transparent url(../images/menu2.jpg) -375px 0 no-repeat;}
#nav_contacts	{background: transparent url(../images/menu2.jpg) -600px 0 no-repeat;}

 /* Hovered menu items  */
/* the background image in the link box should change to a diffetent part on the big image, which isn't normally shown - doesn't work in IE7 */ 

#nav_home a:hover {background: transparent url(../images/menu1.jpg) 0 -62px no-repeat;}
#nav_about a:hover {background: transparent url(../images/menu1.jpg) -225px -62px no-repeat;}
#nav_recruit a:hover {background: transparent url(../images/menu1.jpg) -525px -62px no-repeat;}

#nav_contacts a:hover {background: transparent url(../images/menu2.jpg) -600px -62px no-repeat;} 

/* Active menu items */
/* This part just makes the page we are currently in appear as hovered - works fine in all browsers */

body#home #nav_home			{background: transparent url(../images/menu1.jpg) 0 -62px no-repeat;}
body#about #nav_about		{background: transparent url(../images/menu1.jpg) -225px -62px no-repeat;}
body#recruit #nav_recruit	{background: transparent url(../images/menu1.jpg) -525px -62px no-repeat;}
body#company #nav_company	{background: transparent url(../images/menu2.jpg) -150px -62px no-repeat;}

body#contacts #nav_contacts	{background: transparent url(../images/menu2.jpg) -600px -62px no-repeat;}

By the way - before changing it, I had all the squares in a table. Worked on IE7, but not IE6.

Oh and I'm using transitional DTD. is that ok?

Am trying to solve an annoying IE problem:

I have a menu which I has a background image which should appear when rolled over. Unfortunatly this works on Firefox but not IE. In internet explorer, nothing changes when the menu item is rolled over ( hovered ) .. any ideas?

The code is:

Code:

#item, #item2, #item3, #item4 {
height:24px;
width:147px;
border:1px solid #dddddd;
padding-top:14px;
padding-left:15px;
}
#item:hover, #item2:hover, #item3:hover, #item4:hover { color:white; }
#item:hover { background-image:url(homeRollover.png); }
#item2:hover { background-image:url(aboutusRollover.png); }
#item3:hover { background-image:url(servicesRoll.png); }
#item4:hover { background-image:url(contactusRoll.png); }

I'm trying to set the background image of my header and for some reason its not being applied at all.

CSS:
Code:

#header
{
    background: url('../Images/Master/Header_Background.jpg');
    color: White;
    width: 1000px;
    height: 150px;
    position: relative;
}

The image is the same height and width of the header. I know the image is there because I can use the same url in an <img> tag and it shows up fine. The header is inside a container which I'm not setting any background attributes at all. I'm not setting any for the body either. I don't know why the image isn't showing.

Thanks.

This is driving me nuts!

I have done everything I think that they says I should do but it is not working...here is the table style I am using if I use normal border styles it works ok...please can someone tell me where I am going wrong...thank you!

.nik {
background-color: #FFEAA1;
padding-left: 1em;
padding-right: 1em;
border-image: url(border.png) 0% 30% 0% 30% repeat;
}

oh and the image size is 100px x 100px

Kriss

Okay, I have this weird problem.

If I put my background style inline, it works. If I put it in the stylesheet as the first rules in my file, it doesn't work.

Here are the rules.

Code:

/* the below line is the first line in the file, this comment is not present in the file */
body{
background-image:url('image/metal.png');
background-repeat: repeat;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

Again, inline as
Code:

<body style="background-image:url('image/metal.png');">

it works, but in the stylesheet file, it doens't. The rest of the rules in the stylesheet work, just this one does not...

Hi,

I want to put a background image for a div section of my site. It works fine in i.e. but i can't get it to show up in firefox. Does anyone know why?

CSS:
Code:

body {
	font-family : Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 16px;
	background: #330000;
	text-align:center;
	margin: 0; 
	padding: 0
}

#mainarea {
	background-image:
	url('alexandertea_bg_v03.jpg');
	width: 719px;
	height: 650px;
}

HTML:
Code:

<body>
	<div class="topbar">
		<img src="images/lemonreghome.gif" id="home">
		<img src="images/lemonregstory.gif" id="story">
		<img src="images/lemonregwheretobuy.gif" id="wheretobuy">
	</div>
	<div id="mainarea">
		Hellow
	</div>
</body>

I have a problem that I have never seen before. I am using css to set the background properties of the body tag. Works just fine in IE but no background at all shows up in Firefox.

css code for the body tag is:

body { background-color: #0d005e;
background-image: url('images/bgmain.jpg');
background-repeat: repeat-x; }

Any thoughts?

I have a thumbnail image with a link below. When hovering over the link, I want the enlarged image to pop up. I've tried it 2 ways. Both are close, but neither works the way I want it. Perhaps someone can help tweak one of these options?

Option 1 is he
http://concrete-creative.com/temp/print/1.html
**What I don't like here is that you can hover over a big, blank area below the link and the larger image pops up. I only want the linked text [JACK IT UP] to pop the larger image up.

Option 1_B is he
http://concrete-creative.com/temp/print/1_B.html
**The problem here is the the larger image while INVISIBLE is sitting below the text [JACK IT UP] which is pushing my HTML table too wide.

Can someone help me find the happy medium between these 2 solutions so it works the way I want it to?

THANKS!

Hello,

I've almost got this css image gallery done for my website, but I can't seem to get the main image to be positioned where the gallery thumbnails are. The main image seems to be only position-able from the top of the page. I'm trying to get the image to line up with the top of the first thumbnail image, the thumbnails being arranged in a column to the left of the main image.

The page where you can view this is:

WWW OLDFOUNDRY DOT COM - I'm a new user, and am not allowed to post links yet. You'll see the gallery in the new product called "Bugatti Test" That link is on the left hand side of the page.

And I'll place the code in the next post,

Thank you for any ideas,

Jason

please please somebody help me with this...
i have given my links some effects with this code:

Code:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
a img {border: none; }
a:link { text-decoration: none; }
a:hover { text-decoration: none; border-bottom:3px double; color: #000000;}

a.head,
a.head:link { text-decoration: none; }
a.head:hover { text-decoration: none; }
//-->
</style>

it works fine on my links, but the class "head" doesn't seem to be effecting the link with that class....it still has the same hover effect as the other links. I have class="head" in the link tag of the element, but it still doesn't work. I want no effect on this link since it is an image and I don't want a double-underline on it. The only thing I can think of is that maybe the head image isnt being effected correctly because it is an include file, but I don't think that really matters.

Thanks!

I have a map on an html page.

If you mouseover "Savannah" the color of "Savannah" will change. The same will happen for "Broad". The problem is that the color doesn't change on "Broad" until you mouseover the top right part of "Broad". (Savannah and Broad are the only two that are active at this time.)

You have seen this all over the web. I don't want to use Javascript. I want to do this using CSS.

I do not have something quite right in my CSS. I have checked and checked and nothing stands out. I have looked at examples of Stu Nichols code similar to this, but I can't see anything.

I thought it was a problem with the z-index, but nothing happens when I change the numbers.

What am I doing wrong?

Trying to delete my post but no option to delete so just removing content.

Hi. Really hoping someone can help me with this... I'll try and explain this as best I can(!)

Basically I've got a page containing a block of 9 images, with each linking to a video clip. At the moment I've got the CSS coded so that whenever the mouse is hovered over the 'infobar' (at the bottom of each image) it goes from having a transparent background with black text to having a grey background with white text.

What I'm trying to achieve is that same effect whenever the mouse is hovered over any part of the image and infobar. The live online link can be found at:
www.markmcm.co.uk/test/test.html

The CSS is as as follows:

Code:

/*
 *  Page Stylesheet 
 */
body {
  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
  background-color: #eaeaea;
  border:0; margin:0; padding:0;
  height: 100%;
}
a:link {
	text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited {
	text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover {
	text-decoration: none;
}
a:active {
	text-decoration: none;
}
#container {
	margin-left: auto;
	margin-right: auto;
   	min-height: 100%;
	width: 936px;
}
* html #container {
	height: 100%;
}

	float:left;
	position: relative;

	height: 176px;
}
.miniscreen1 {

	width: 312px;
	height: 36px;
	outline: none;
	color:#000;
	background: url("data/infobar.png") no-repeat 0 0;
	z-index: 650;
}
.infobar:hover  { 
	background-position: 0 -36px;
	outline: none;
	color:#fff;
}
#infobar span {
	display: none;
	outline: none;
}
.clip_title {
	outline: none;
	font-size: 85%;
	font-weight: 700;
	vertical-align: top;
	text-align: left;
}

There must be a better (and easier?) way to do this. Any help would be very-much appreciated - and save an old bloke from tearing too much of his hair out(!)

Can someone please help me?

I am trying to get my left side column to meet my footer image... just like on this website:

newcastlegateshead.com

Mine has a one inch gap between the bottom of the column and the footer.

Does anyone know what they did to make it meet perfectly?Or the proper css code & where to put it? I've been trying to get this solved for dayyyssss

Thank you so much...
