CSS - Color On Top Of Image??
I have an image that is gray-scale, and I want to dynamically change the color using CSS. Is this possible?
#example { background-image:url('gray_button.png'); } I could change the opacity/transparency of the image. How do I "set" a color on Top of this image though? Any help appreciated. Similar TutorialsHi everyone. developing a page where I use CSS style #content { width: 760px; background-image: url(didyouknow1.png); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-color: #cccccc; height: 300px; } Page background is #cccccc. When I add the div tag <body> <div id="content">Content for id "content" Goes Here</div> </body> and preview in IE 6 there is a lighter color gray AROUND the image . Have not tested in FF.

That's what a friend of mine is trying to do to her blog. She's been trying for the longest time to get the hover command to change some link text color into a gif image, but all she can manage is the background behind the text. If you don't get what I'm trying to say, this is a screen cap of what she has right now: img801.imageshack.us/i/screencap.png/ Basically, she want's to know if there's a way so that, rather than having the gif around her text, it would display inside of her text only so that the words would look like static. If anyone knows if this is even possible, please help me out. Thanks in advance. Hi all, I am having difficulty with the background for an image link. I have the following: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>Test page</title> <style type="text/css"> a:hover { color: #FFFFFF; background: #0000ff; text-decoration: none; } a:hover img { background: none; } .box { background: #00ff00; padding: 1em; } .box img { border: 0; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="box"> <p><a href="#"><img src="images/a1a8aa6a43.jpg" alt="" /></a></p> <p><a href="#">Text link</a></p> </div> </body> </html> I have a global style for links that change the background color and the color of the text. However, this also changes the background color of an image link which makes it look odd. I attempted to fix this with Code: a:hover img { background: none; } But this does not fix the issue. Any thoughts? I am using XHTML strict because the CMS I am using forces me to an XHTML stylesheet. Also, this is just a snippet of the code of the actual page but the bug is present in this snippet. I've exhausted my own knowledge toolbox and cannot get this to work. I'm trying to get a div to expand to the end of the parent div. http://www.pictouunited.com/?s=null You'll see what I mean. I've done all the logical troubleshooting, or so I thought. I appreciate any help in advance! I'd like to have a table with a background image that does not repeat, and if the table extends below the height of the image, I want a solid background color. But this does not seem to work. Why? Code: table.main { border: 1px solid #01228a; border-collapse: collapse; background: url(./images/bluehills.jpg) no-repeat top background-color: #01228a; } [EDIT] Sorry, the problem is while the bg image is there and does not repeat, the solid bg color isn't there... Imagine that the background image is supposed to fade into the background color... Thanks... Hi, I have a DIV container and inside there, I have another DIV used to contain images throughout the web site to float left, right - whatever. I set the background color to this container DIV (figure1) and my image went missing (in IE , Firefox displayed it correctly ). Does anyone have any ideas as to why or how I can fix this? Thanks. Code: <div id="figure1"> <h2>Figure 1. The infectious path of rabies virus</h2> <div class="imgspot" style="margin: 0 20px 0 0;"><img src="images/ani_raccoon_rabies_virus.gif" width="188" height="122" /></div> <ol> <li>Raccoon is bitten by a rabid animal.</li> <li>Rabies virus enters the raccoon through infected saliva.</li> <li>Rabies virus spreads through the nerves to the spinal cord and brain.</li> <li>The virus incubates in raccon's body for apporximately 3-12 weeks. The raccoon has no signs of illness during this time.</li> <li>When it reaches the brain, the virus multiplies rapidly, passes to the salivary glands, and the raccoon begins to show signs of the disease.</li> <li>The infected animal usually dies within 7 days of becoming sick.</li> </ol> </div> I have just started writing a page and the first thing I did was establish a body background color and image. It works in IE but not FF. Can someone please give me a clue what is wrong. I have searched all the CSS books and the internet but I cannot find an answer. Thanks in advance. The URL is http://www.childrens-stories.me.uk/ 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 was able to have the image button links hover and change colors using 2 different image buttons, however i came to realize that i want to have the hovered image stay active once the button is clicked. can someone assist me with this? this is what my code looks like: Code: a:hover#index { background: url("./images/home-red.png") 0 0 no-repeat; } a:hover#howto { background: url("./images/howtobuild-red.png") 0 0 no-repeat; } a:hover#installation { background: url("./images/installation-red.png") 0 0 no-repeat; } a:hover#design { background: url("./images/dande-red.png") 0 0 no-repeat; } a:hover#dean { background: url("./images/deansblog-red.png") 0 0 no-repeat; } a:hover#forum { background: url("./images/userforum-red.png") 0 0 no-repeat; } a:hover#plan { background: url("./images/planbike-red.png") 0 0 no-repeat; } a:hover#search { background: url("./images/search-red.png") 0 0 no-repeat; } a#index, a#design, a#howto, a#installation, a#dean, a#forum, a#plan, a#search { width: 86px; height: 27px; float: left; margin-top:6px; position:relative; left: 115px; } a#index { background: url("./images/home-grey.png"); } a#design { background: url("./images/dande-grey.png"); } a#howto { background: url("./images/howtobuild-grey.png"); } a#installation { background: url("./images/installation-grey.png"); } a#dean { background: url("./images/deansblog-grey.png"); } a#forum { background: url("./images/userforum-grey.png"); } a#plan { background: url("./images/planbike-grey.png"); } a#search { background: url("./images/search-grey.png"); } Here's the code:

For developmental purposes, I made the team colors blue, red, green, and yellow. And now I'm at the stage where I'm designing a layout. The theme is set in the 1800's, and my first idea was to have a different color scheme for each team (in accordance with their team color,) but my layouts ended up having nothing to do with the 1800's -- just colors (I want to give a very real effect to this website.) So I tried making a universal layout with a sort of tea-stained, burnt edges, parchment look, with a black background, but I had trouble making it tile nicely (partly the burnt edges, partly the stains in the paper.) So this is where I am. I need help designing a layout! I can change the team colors to whatever, I have beginner/intermediate photoshop skills (though, I'm quite competent,) and all suggestions are warmly welcomed!

The submenu looks good in Firefox, Safari, and Netscape for the Mac. Also Firefox for the PC, but not IE7 for the PC. Here's the site: http://www.caillouette.com/Villere_dynamic2/rentals.php Please rollover, "SERVICES" in IE. Here's the style sheet (*note: I created it Dreamweaver using Spry.

I use php, css, sql . . . more than one thing. I have a utility written in '04 by Patrick Fitzgerald (http://www.barelyfitz.com/projects/csscolor/) I use on almost every site I code. I don't put it in the page, I put it in the css file like this: Code: <?php header("Content-type: text/css"); include_once("../inc/csscolor.php"); include('inc/settings.inc'); $basea = new CSS_Color($darka); $baseb = new CSS_Color($darkb); ?> Then in the css I use something like Code: .cart_button { border:1px solid #<?= $baseb->bg['+2']; ?>; padding:2 4; background-color:<?= $baseb->bg['+3']; ?>; color:black; margin-bottom:-6; } #basket { float:right; width:140px; border:1px solid <?= $baseb->bg['+3']; ?>; padding:10px; } td.cart, th.cart { border:1px solid <?= $baseb->bg['+3']; ?>; padding:6px; } to display the color of elements. So here's my conundrum. I have elements with borders that aren't displaying. I'm pretty sure it's a compatibility issue. It renders in IE but not in FF. Thoughts? HeadElf |
