CSS - Adding A Background Image To Frame A Twitter Widget
Hello,
I am running wordpress and I have a Twitter Widget known as Twitter Widget Pro. What I've done is that I made a graphic (a little TV with a twitter bird on top) to serve as a background image but be positioned right behind my Twitter widget so the twitter feed fits inside the tv. I got this positioned correctly on the front page in my style.css sheet. But as I go to my other pages: photos, travels, etc. the format of my site changes and therefore the background image (tv) and the Twitter feed don't align properly. How can I code the background image of the tv and the twitter widget to align properly together on all my pages? Would I have to insert the image into the actual twitter-widget-pro code itself? My website is: (w w w.stefantrego.com) Thanks a lot for the help! -Stefan Similar TutorialsHey guys, I am in the process of adding a Twitter widget onto my website. I would like it to be very similar to that on http://www.spotify.com/us/about/what/. I am not sure how to edit the currently provided Twitter widgets to resemble that... Has anyone any idea? PS. I am looking for a programmer for my startup company. No cash, but rather equity. We need someone fluent in PHP. Hello! I have the site (w w w . s t e f a n t r e g o . c o m /wordpress) ... and I am trying to place a tv graphic I made under my twitter feed as an aesthetic effect. Currently I have: body { background-image:url('/Images/tregotv.jpg'); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-attachment:fixed; background-position:983px 400px; display:block; } This looks fine on my computer -- BUT -- when I go to my photo section, travels section, the format of the site changes. Therefore my background image and twitter feed don't align correctly. Is there any CSS way to correctly align the background image to always be positioned under my twitter feed without format issues? Or would I need to get assistance with an alternate code such as Java script, or PHP to position the picture so the twitter feed always fits inside the tv? I appreciate the help!! -Stefan twitter: @stefantrego w w w . stefantrego . c o m / w o r d p r e s s PS. Sorry for the spaced out web addresses -- due to being a new user I cannot post links right away. I'm getting a strange interaction between a CSS-positioned image and a widget placed farther down the page. I've tested it in FF3.5.7 and IE8, and everything works fine until I test it in Compatibility View in IE. The widget takes a few seconds to load; once it's loaded the image at the top of the page disappears. The layout is basically this: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

I don't know anything about how the widget works. Can anyone help me fix this problem? Hi: I have an logo image at my page, if you leave the image as non hyperlink, the image shows OK and nicely, when I make the image as a hyper link, there is a ugly frame around the image bordor, I can not get rid of it, I have some a.h/a.w/a css properties in my css file, since I am not fully understand this a.w/ a.h, can some one help me The layout I have going is a bit difficult to explain. Here's a diagram.. The area of importance is the header. The content and main head area are centered. The area to the left and right of the header are a <div>. However, as you can see, the background image on the left is different than the one on the right. I'm having difficulty making this work. the images can be stretched horizontally without a problem, but the two sides must meet in the middle beneath the header. I hope this makes sense. What I've got to do, I think, is tell the background image of the underlying <div> to stretch to 100%, and make this image 300px wide or so including both sides of the image and a split. The split would hide behind the header. I can't find a method to stretch the background image, though. Does anybody know of a better way, or a way to achieve this method at all without getting into completely different layouts? Thanks in advance for any assistance/suggestions. In short, I'm trying to get this one image to tile down the page to the bottom, underneath a static background image. Basically, it's a 2pixel high image that's ready to tile vertically, just having a tough time getting it to work. You can clearly see the problem here, a gap at the bottom: http://www.groundedgroup.com/clients/NWR/ Here's the relevant css: http://www.groundedgroup.com/client...WR-GG/style.css I've googled and subsequently tried out some solutions, but no luck. Got any ideas? Thanks in advance. PS - Is there a way to keep the spiders from indexing my links above? The site is on a test server, so I don't want the url indexed. Hi, I have a question about setting up the Body background-image via a linked external stylesheet. I have a index.html file and a myStyle.css file. I want to setup the background to load an image file, test.JPG. When I embed the following in my index.html, I see the background show up: ** inside index.html file ** <BODY STYLE="background-image: url(test.JPG);"> blah </BODY> BUT, when I define my background in the externally linked myStyle.css file, the background does not load: ** inside myStyle.css file ** BODY { background-image: url(test.JPG); } ** inside index.html file ** <LINK REL="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css" HREF="myStyle.css"> <BODY> blah </BODY> </LINK> Please help. thanks! 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:

Any help would be very-much appreciated - and save an old bloke from tearing too much of his hair out(!) Hi I am redesigning my blog and took it down completely. I want to place the day's text post on the day's photo post on top of the latter, while graying out the photo. Is that possible without using flash? I'm trying to create a little background image for each image on this page. A kind of crappy looking polaroid type background image. It works fine in Firefox, but not in IE. Any ideas? http://www.rhizaowns.com/holly/index.php I am trying to put labels below images on my new site design. See: www.jwsuretybonds*com/jw09 I figured out how to get them vertically aligned, but I am having problems with the horizontal, as when I change the browser size, they move. Here is one of the examples: Code:
#homepage-bar h2.construction {
position:fixed;
top:225px;
left:505px;
}
I tried changing to position: absolute; I also tried to use percentages on the left: I know this is easy, but I can't find the fix after googling for 30 minutes. Help! Code: div.top {
border: 10px solid #CCCCCC;
border-bottom-width: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background-image: url(menutile.jpg);
}
The code above yields this . It is uneven with the normal image, though both are the same size. I simply want to tile the bg image to the border even with the normal menu images. What am I doing wrong? Hmmmmm... This one has me stumped. Check out http://www.chrisbartlett.net/fd/fd/short.html please. That site is 100% perfect as far as the guy I'm building it for is concerned. But it is missing something. Now have a look at http://www.chrisbartlett.net/fd/fd/ in IE. See the "shadow" on the right? That tiny little arrow-looking image? In IE, I've gotten the image positioned close. I still want to drop it 10px below the top of the adjoining border. And it's still not even appearing in FF or Opera. And in all 3 browsers, I still have the problem with the entire outterbox being pushed down, which I solved with a "display: inline;", but when I do that, it disappears in IE, too! Every which way I turn, something goes wrong. Argh. Any thoughts, please? In a nutshell, it needs to look like this: Thanks! Chris I want to use php to get images from a database and display them as css background-image attributes I know that the css Code: #id { background-image: url ('path/file'); }
works (obviously) and the html Code: <img src='image-generator-script.php'> also works but the css Code: #id { background-image: url ('image-generator-script.php'); }
doesn't work for me. It seems as though it should work. Why place such a seemingly arbitrary limitation on CSS as only being able to display images from existing files? I've done lots of searching through documentation and on forums, but not found anything conclusive either way. A couple of people have said it works. But it doesn't for me. Is there some extra configuration step I'm missing? Does anyone know for a fact that it works? -- so I can know for sure that somewhere I'm making a blunder in my code. But the code is simple, and I don't see where it could go wrong. (As is always the case!!) I can see the image in the browser just by pasting in the script link to the address bar. I know that url() specifiers are relative to the location of the stylesheet, not the html document, but in this case the html, the css, and the php are all in the same directory. I can't see what I could be doing wrong, so it really looks like you can't do it. But why?? And why isn't it mentioned in the documentation? (At least in the placers I've looked.) If you store all your images in a database, how on earth can you display any of them in CSS except by using a script in the url() specifier? I've seen plenty of tips about generating css files from php (I already do it), but that won't help in this case. All I can think of is to have php write the image data from the database into a temporary file, and put that file name into the url() specifier. But what a horrible kludge!! I will be very grateful to anyone who can give me solid facts on this question. Andrew Blake I'm including some images within a UL. I've coded them in there to float. IE displays the list as I want but NN and Opera won't play along. In fact they both "get it wrong" in different ways. What am I doing wrong? (as you can see it is for a course and it is important to me to get it right not just good enough). Here's the address. The CSS coding is on the actual page for easy viewing. link Anyone have a clue what I can add to this code to get it working right?! Here is the code for one of them... Code: <!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --> <td class="vbmenu_control" id="facebook" nowrap="nowrap"> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_config = {"data_track_clickback":true};</script> <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"> <a class="addthis_button_facebook"></a> </div> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=***"></script> </td> <!-- AddThis Button END -->
Here is how it looks in FF... http://i34.tinypic.com/28it845.jpg Here is how it looks in IE... http://i34.tinypic.com/27yanvb.jpg Thanks for your help!!! Hi, Trying to get this widget to disappear using responsive design when the browser is less than 800px. I'm using WordPress and the theme is already responsive. Here's the media query in the style sheet now: @media only screen and (max-width: 800px) { /* and I added this part below (not working!) */ .page-title .widget-area { display:none !important; } } Please see http://simplemethod.ca to check it out. I'm trying to remove my big fancy title widget with the signup form in it (since it breaks in an ugly way when the responsive design kicks in!) Thanks for helping friends. I hope my post made some sense! Perhaps I'm using the wrong class names for the style change... This part has got me a bit stumped. Best Regards, Drew Hi, I have created a accordion menu using a spry widget built into Dreamweaver CS3. However I want to amend this so that the menu is collapsed until the user clicks on a category. Do I have to amend the CSS or the javascript to make it collapsed to begin with? Any help would be appericated. Thanks Gary |
