CSS - Content Within Footer Background Image Without Backgrounds Overlapping
Similar TutorialsHi Everyone, I'm having a problem with IE rendering correctly. I'm experimenting with using all div's in my pages now, and I'm not very familiar with the quirks of IE. I have created a sample page, and I'm really confused as to what is going on in IE. FF renders the page exactly as I expect. IE renders the page with everything in the correct location, but it seems to double the background image for a sub-div section that is moved up using a negative margin (#menu { ... margin-top: -200px; ... }). Also, this "duplicate background" seems to "flicker" on and off in certain areas, but part of it is always there. (I think there may be more than one duplicate?) To view what's happening, check it out in FF, and then in IE: example.com/HTML example.com/CSS I have very little code, and I'm not sure what is the relevant part: CSS: Code:
.logo_banner { background-image:url(../images/new/logo_web1.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:left top; height:188px; }
.spacer { height:10px; }
.spacer_10px { height:10px; }
.spacer_40px { height:40px; }
.spacer_50px { height:50px; }
.spacer_separator { height:1px; background-image:url(../images/bg_separator.png); background-repeat:repeat-x; background-position:center top; }
#menu { height:50px; margin-left:200px; margin-top:-80px; }
#home_btn { background-image:url(../images/new/home_btn_web.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:left; height:50px; }
#home1_btn { background-image:url(../images/new/home_btn_web.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:left; height:50px; margin-left:120px; margin-top:-50px; }
#home2_btn { background-image:url(../images/new/home_btn_web.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:left; height:50px; margin-left:240px; margin-top:-50px; }
#home3_btn { background-image:url(../images/new/home_btn_web.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:left; height:50px; margin-left:360px; margin-top:-50px; }
#home4_btn { background-image:url(../images/new/home_btn_web.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:left; height:50px; margin-left:480px; margin-top:-50px; }
.spacer_dotted_line { background-image:url(../images/new/dotted_line.png); background-repeat:repeat-x; width:860px; height:2px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; }
.div_body_top { background-image:url(../images/backgrounds/bg_dark_body_top1.png); width:900px; height:20px; background-repeat:no-repeat; }
.div_body_middle { background-image:url(../images/backgrounds/bg_dark_body_middle1.png); height:auto; background-repeat:repeat-y; padding-left:20px; padding-right:20px; }
.div_body_bottom { background-image:url(../images/backgrounds/bg_dark_body_bottom1.png); width:900px; height:20px; background-repeat:no-repeat; }
.footer_bar { background-color:#2B2D20; height:60px; text-align:center; }
.footer_text { font-family:Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:10px; color:#FFFFFF; line-height:60px;}
.text_style_body { text-align:left; font-family:Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#CECECE; font-size:10px; }
.content_body { height:auto; width:900px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; }

Thanks! Hello, I just joined the forum, I'm new to web design although I have some experience in video post production. I'm attempting to create a layout for a website using sticky footer technique and an image for the border shadow in the main column. The sticky footer works well until I tweak the css to add the background border image, then I get this empty space in the middle of the body where the border image background should be extending to. It's probably a novice mistake but I can't get to find it. Your help would be much appreciated. The HTML: Code: <body>

Thank you, pixelMason. Edit: Problem Solved thanks to f_nietzsche Hey all, I have a background image that I want to repeat horizontally at the top and the bottom of a page (below all of the content, not necessarily at the bottom of the screen) that I'm creating, for the Header and Footer. I would like it to look something like this. I'm using this code for the background image, for the Header: body { background-image: url(stars.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x } And I'm wondering whether I can include another background image in the "body" code, telling it to repeat horizontally, but at the bottom of the page? Here is the code that I'm assuming would have to be used: { background-image: url(stars.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; background-position: bottom; } Can someone suggest to me where this code should go? Could I include it in the "body" css code? Or should I put it below all of the rest of the columns/content code? Thanks. Hi, I've created a page with two tables, which is basically structured like <table> main content </table> <table id="footer"> footer content </table> and in my style sheet i have Code:
#footerid {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
}
The problem is that the footer is overlapping the content if the content is greater then a page's length. What I need is for the footer to come after the content table insetad of overlapping as it is now. Does this require some sort of id attached the first table? Thanks for any help on this one I'm using The Man in Blue's "footerStickAlt" code to ensure a footer sticks at the bottom of the page even with *short* content. No problem there til I resize my browser window. When the browser window shortened and I scroll down, the footer has jumped up and is concealing part of the menu. Yikes. Pages where the content is longer than the menu are fine, so I haven't uploaded them. It's only when content is shorter than the menu that this issue arises ~ which is the exact issue it's supposed to be tackling! Flaw/s in the code? I've already tried ripping out the horizontal min-widths and it seems there's no conflict there. From what I can make out, it's just a matter between the menu and the footer.... altho, when the browser is shortened in the way I've described the actual footer moves higher than it should be. Still, can't believe it's blueman at fault here. Must be something I've missed or tagged wrong. Or maybe it just doesn't work with this kind of menu? For reference, Blue Man's original code is he http://themaninblue.com/writing/perspective/2005/08/29/ Am just hoping the clever folk here will have some advice. I've burnt the whole day on this to no avail :| is there a way to have a different background image in the .content area on different pages? this is the site: http://bradleyrose.net/WaterStreetRestaurant/pages/catering&parties.html cobble-stone-road-4.jpg is used on all pages, is there a way to use a different image on some pages? Well I managed to find a partial solution by adding "clear" to the "statusDiv" like so: Code:
.statusDiv {
clear: both
background-image: url(../png/disclosure_triangles/blue_block.png);
height: 20px;
margin-bottom: 1px;
}
This kicks sibling divs onto their own line (which is what I wanted) but the spacing between divs is 2 pixels and I can't seem to find any combination of padding, margins etc to get the spacing down to one pixel. Does anyone know of a way to control the inter-div spacing when "clear" is defined? Thanks Ken --------------------------------------------------------------- Original post --------------------------------------------------------------- I'm trying to make a few divs to create the same basic functionality as an outline (with disclosure triangles etc...) and am having alignment problems. The first row renders perfectly but the text of subsequent rows overlaps the text of first row. Here's the html: Code: <div id="contentBlock" class="bodyText"> <div class='statusDiv'> <div class='disclosureCollapsed'></div> <div class="disclosureDivLabel">New</div> </div> <div class='statusDiv'> <div class='disclosureCollapsed'></div> <div class="disclosureDivLabel">Open</div> </div> </div> And here's the CSS: Code:
#contentBlock {
position: absolute;
top: 130px;
left: 200px;
height: 101%; /* Hack to force vertical scroll bars */
right: 280px;
min-width: 400px;
visibility: visible;
display: block;
}
.statusDiv {
clear: both
background-image: url(../png/disclosure_triangles/blue_block.png);
height: 20px;
margin-bottom: 1px;
}
.disclosureCollapsed {
background-image: url(../png/disclosure_triangles/blue_collapsed_wide.png);
display: block;
text-align: right;
/*position: absolute;*/
float: left;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 18px;
height: 20px;
}
.disclosureCollapsed:hover {
cursor: pointer;
}
How would I make the text in each subsequent row (statusDiv) line up? Thanks for any help Ken Dear all, I have an iframe, and the page contained has many divs with absolute positioning in various positions (it is a calendar, outlook style). I can scroll up and down the iframe to view the divs, but the divs actually overlap the scrollbars for the iframe which makes it difficult to use. This happens in IE6 and 7, but not in FF. has anyone come across this before? Many thanks, Mark Hi everyone I have a 3 column layout with a footer. If the content ends up being too wide for the middle column (ie a large data table) I can't get the middle column to push the right hand column beyond the width of the screen. If the right column is absolutely positioned, the middle column just continues underneath the right column (overlaps). If the right column is floated right, it just drops down below the middle column. What I want it to do is bring up a horizontal scroll bar in the browser and let people scroll across for the right column. Based on the code below, if anyone has any ideas I would be unbelievably greatful. I've been pulling my hair out all day... My HTML is as follows: Code: <div id="content_container"> <div id="lft"> ... </div> <div id="mainbody"> .... </div> <div id="rght"> ... </div> <div id="footer"> ... </div> </div> My relevant CSS is as follows: Code: #content_container {
position: relative;
min-height: 100%;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: auto;
height: auto;
border: 1px solid red;
}
#lft {
float: left;
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 24%;
visibility: visible;
}
#mainbody {
position: relative;
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 50%;
height: auto;
visibility: visible;
}
#rght {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
top: 0;
width: 22%;
visibility: visible;
padding-right: 10px;
}
#footer {
float: left;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
top: 0;
clear: both;
width: 100%;
margin-top: 40px;
padding-top: 15px;
padding-bottom: 15px;
visibility: visible;
}
http://www.larreamma.com/kids_programs.html On the PC the last 'About Us' menu overlaps the body content when it is expanded. Does not occur on Mac (FF, Safari, Chrome). Tried playing with 'z-index' but if that is the issue then I am not putting it in the right place. Thank you in advance. I'm trying to adapt a technique I saw on matthewjamestaylor 's website to a design for my site that involves overlapping divs with background images. I can't get one of them to show up, and I'm not sure why? I'm using nested divs to get equal column heights. I need different background images on a number of elements. Here's the overall structu <body> - has an image background that repeats. <wrapper> - has an image background that repeats. <header> <navbar> - has a background image that doesn't repeat. </navbar> <banner> </banner> </header> <colmask> <colright> <content> <main> - has a background image that doesn't repeat. </main> <sidebar> - has a background image that doesn't repeat. </sidebar> </content> </colright> </colmask> <footer> - has a background image that doesn't repeat. </footer> </wrapper> </body> I also need a background image on either colmask, colright, or content as well, and it's not showing up! I can't figure out why. It's a border image that should show up between the sidebar background and the main content background. Any idea why it's not expanding to fill it? I'm uploading my site to elenmir dot com / themes / elenmir / default dot html Thanks Hello! I am using some pretty simple css to format a form for my website. I really like the way using Fieldset & Legend allows for quick and easy formatting of the form but I have one small problem.

Below is a link to a terrible picture of the form (sorry it's not online): http://www.leadershipeducators.org/redesign/images/users/Jared/profile.jpg Drumroll, almost. Scrolling image, image swap, and css image backgrounds. This one is working almost exactly as I would like for it to in IE and FF. http://www.mtn.ncahec.org/web/grace/bagwell/test5.asp But, if you scroll down, why are the backgrounds not going all the way to the bottom in FF? Starts acting weird around item 29...... Works fine in IE6. Thank you, thank you, please, please? Janet Hi, I have been a CSS/XHTML developer for about 6 months now and I just came accross a problem that I have had difficulty solving... I have spent about a week on this problem, and still no luck... I kind of restarted too with no luck... I am thinking this may be a bug... But it works fine in IE... In firefox, the content division background does not continue, instead a footer background is moved up... This is so weird, I dont know how this can be possible... This has been extremely frustrating... If anyone can help, that would be great! Thanks a lot! Hey, I'm working on a site (URL) and I am having some problems. I made a class in CSS: Code:
.middle {
background-attachment: fixed;
background-image: url(images/midtop.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 0px 0px;
}
and am applying that class to the middle table. When I view it in IE, it looks fine, but in mozilla (I'm using firefox) it looks like it is positioning it at 0, 0 of the page, not the table. If I change background-position: 0px 0px; to background-position: 139px 0px; then it looks fine in mozilla, but not IE. Does anyone know how to fix this? (Or why it is happening) Thanks~ Hi there, I have a content glider script, but I have added it to a wrapper with a background image. The css is using a white background colour so when a new layer is glided up, it covers the one underneath it. However, I want the background to be transparent to show the background image underneath.... If I remove the white background, they layers become transparent and overlay each other, so you can see all text in the layers on top of each other making it impossible to read. Is there anyway I can make it so it has a transparent background, but so it will not show the content under the new slide? This is my CSS: PHP Code: .glidecontentwrapper{ position: relative; /* Do not change this value */ height: 230px; /* Set height to be able to contain height of largest content shown*/ overflow: hidden; } /* Total wrapper width: 350px+5px+5px=360px Or width of wrapper div itself plus any left and right CSS border and padding Adjust related containers below according to comments */ .glidecontent{ /*style for each glide content DIV within wrapper.*/ position: absolute; /* Do not change this value */ background: white; visibility: hidden; width: 330px; } /* Total glidecontent width: 330px+10px+10px=350px Or width of wrapper div itself (not counting wrapper border/padding) */ .glidecontenttoggler{ /*style for DIV used to contain toggler links. */ width: 360px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center; /*How to align pagination links: "left", "center", or "right" background: white; /*always declare an explicit background color for fade effect to properly render in IE*/ } Any help would be great! Thanks. Hi, For some reason the bottom of my content is getting chopped off on some pages. For instance, the Bookmark icon and neighboring links are getting cut off at the bottom of this page when viewing with Google Chrome: http://www.sustainablelivingcolorad...ble-living-101/ Any ideas? Thanks. I'm sure this has been asked, and I've googled for help without finding anything that works. I'm redesigning a site from html/tables -> css and need to keep a footer at the bottom of each page (after the content, not stuck to the bottom of the window). Being pretty unfamiliar with css positioning I'm having a bit of trouble. Site is here - huguenotbats . com / redesignfiles CSS is here - huguenotbats . com / redesignfiles / stylesheets / hbstyle . css As is everything works, but when I try to add a footer it sits on top of the content. Help, anyone?? Hello All, I am trying to put together what seems like it should be a simple css layout but it just is not cooperating. Thought maybe somebody could point out what I am doing wrong. The site is southernshades.net If you shrink the browser and scroll down the footer goes on top of the content area. I am going crazy trying to figure out how to get the footer to stay at the bottom. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated and save my sanity. Thanks. |
