CSS - Aligning Text/image Over Background Image
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! Similar TutorialsHi. 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 welcome thanks Rich I've got a unordered list, with a background image on the li a:link selector. I also need to replace the default bullet with an image BUT the image needs to display to the right of the <li> text. Is this possible? The image needs to appear immedately after the text (not aligned at the edge of the list or column). So, for example, list item i [img] list item 2 with longer name [img] list time 3 with short [img] The list is generated dynamically, I cannot simply add the image to the list item text. Any help would be much appreciated - thanks! 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 figure out how to align the text with the text so that it text starts up and to the top right of the image. And I"m talking about the top middle div. http://kansasoutlawwrestling.com/v3/index.html I have a line item where I'm pulling in text and an image from a dB. I would like the text to align at the top and not sure how to do it. Code: <li>Song name <img src="beatles.jpg"> Artist Test page: Played songs I have tried margins but then the image moves and the text is always aligned at the bottom of the image. Thanks for your help! I currently have been trying to align an h1 tag over top of a css background image. I have tried a whole bunch of things but have returned the code back to its most basic form My external css div looks as follows: #content_funny{ width: 315px; height: 51px; background-image:url(images/funnyvideos1.gif); background-repeat:no-repeat; float:left; clear:left; margin:0px 0px 0px 0; display:inline; } My index file is as follows <div id="content_header"><div id="content_funny"><a href="http://www.tokenhumor.com/categories/7/funny_videos.html"><h1>Funny Videos</h1></a></div> For some reason the text in its natural state is laying differently for IE and FF, preventing me from using any positioning lines within my external style sheet. Any help with this is much appreciated, I m pulling my hair out Hi all, I have a pesky little problem that I can not seem to figure out on my own. I have a set up like this PHP Code: <span class='navitem'><a href='index.php'> <img src='myimage.gif'>Go Home</a></span> My Css Code is PHP Code: #leftnavcontent .navitem { border-bottom:1px dotted #DADADA; font-size:12px; font-weight:normal; line-height:16px; } #leftnavcontent .navitem img { margin-right:5px; border:none; } My problem is that the image is not aligning with the text. As in there is just a slight maybe 1 or 2 pixel border bottom from the image that makes it dip just above the navitem box which makes it look a little funky. Any ideas? Hi, I need some help for aligning text inside a css box. let me first say, that i am using a wysiwyg editor and i am aware of this being a red flag for some folks .... to make my problem better understandable, please see following picture - this is how i want it to be: the area of interest is a 3 column box (left and right are fixed widths, middle column is variable), the middle box (highlighted in blue) is the box, which has a background picture ('Melanie Wanders') on the top/left .... then it has some text (one looong line) and also a picture to the right (alignment: right). what i wanted is, that when the user resizes the window, that the text is able to wrap around the image on the top right - and it does exactly that (you can also view the online version here) well, what happens is this: my problem: when i try to use the 'p' tags to enter a paragraph, it messes up the appearance in FF (completely) and it still shows the text right on the top, above the background image. I also tried to align the text line to the bottom of the box, but it wouldn't do so. i did also try to have the image ('Melanie Wanders') as an actual image aligned Top/Left, but it wouldn't wanna work for me with the other image next to it. i might get it to work, if this is my only option .... finally, here the code used (you will also find the code online, if you follow the above link) Code:
.inner_middle_content_row { width: 100%; height:300px ; }
.inner_middle_content_row_left { background-image: url(images/inner_table/left.png); background-repeat: repeat-y; background-position: right 0; width:125px; height:300px; float:left; }
.inner_middle_content_row_right { background-image: url(images/inner_table/right.png); background-repeat: repeat-y; width:20px; height:300px; float:right; }
.inner_middle_content_row_middle { background-color: white; background-image: url(images/about_us/melanie_title.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: left top; width:auto; height:300px; margin-left:125px; margin-right:20px; }
Code: <div class="inner_middle_content_row"> <!--agl:cssobject id="inner_middle_content_row" type="Column Middle Scale" /--> <div class="inner_middle_content_row_left"> <p class="submenu_brown">Melanie Wanders</p> <p><a class="submenu_gray" href="wilhelm%20wanders.html" onmouseover="this.className='submenu_brown';return true;" onmouseout="this.className='submenu_gray'">Wilhelm Wanders</a></p> <p><a class="submenu_gray" href="philosophie.html" onmouseover="this.className='submenu_brown';return true;" onmouseout="this.className='submenu_gray'">Philosophie</a></p> <p><a class="submenu_gray" href="history.html" onmouseover="this.className='submenu_brown';return true;" onmouseout="this.className='submenu_gray'">History</a></p> </div> <div class="inner_middle_content_row_right"></div> <div class="inner_middle_content_row_middle"> <img src="images/about_us/melanie_portrait.jpg" alt="" width="160" height="180" align="right" border="0" />Chef Melanie Wanders received her Culinary Arts and Management degree .... their own hand-made chocolate company - Wanders Artisan Chocolaterie.</div> it would be great to find a solution to this - the easy way out would be to just skip the background image and have the text start right on top left .... but i like the idea of having a nice title like this - please tell me your opinion though another thing i realize is, that the whole alignment is off in IE ... this is an issue i think i have read before and it has to do with this 3px or 5px off thing in IE right? i think i will look into this some other time. Thanx for reading this - please bare with me, as my mother-language is not english and i might have expressed myself not clearly hey all, i have a page that has text on it and i am trying to add another div with a photo in it so that i can place the photo on the right had side and get the text to wrap around it. buti am having probs. the text doesn't wrap around the photo ... so the photo just ends up at the bottom of the text on the right... here is the code i am currently using for it Code:
#rightphoto {position: absolute; right: 10px; border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px;}
i have had various ideas but none have worked,,,,this is the latest... any ideas?? thanks RF I need the text "world leaders in spirometry" to be on the same base line as the text in the logo image for Vitalograph to the left of it. This is what I want it to look like image link This is what does look like web page link Here is the CSS css link How can I get abosolute vertical placement of the text best for firefox and IE? I know I could put the tage into the logo as one image, but for SEO I would like to have the text there if possible. Thanks! Hi. I'm reasonably new to tableless-design, and i've run into the common problem of aligning one bit of text to the left of a line and another to the right. I have searched the web and have found several means of achieving this, but in my case there is an image combined with a inline list (horizontal menu) that needs to be aligned left, and another combination of text and images to the right. | [image] text .... right-side text | This might seem rather simple, but it becomes more complicated: the entire block needs to be padded on the top in order for the text not to appear cramped up at the top, and the left-margin and right-margin of the image is then set to the corresponding negative values in order for it to still be displayed precisely in the top left corner. I have found this to be the only cross-browser compatible method. All the methods I have experimented with to align the two sides on left and right have either resulted in the image and text to be incorrectly (vertically) aligned or be displayed in different lines, even when the image is not used as part of the alignment-method. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanx Hi Guys, I'm trying to align some text along an image. The problem is, I want two lines of text to the right of the image, aligned to the top. If I put a <BR> tag between the two lines, the second line gets placed below the image. Here's what I have so far. img.top {vertical-align:text-top;} <a href="http://company.com/graphics/thumb.jpg"> <img class="top" src="http://company.com/graphics/thumb.jpg"> </a> <a href="company.com">sample text</a> <a href="company.com">second line</a> Any ideas? I've tried like every switch for the vertical-align property... Hi, I am trying to achieve a layout which uses unordered lists. Within the LI, there is an image and some text. The images are all different heights though. The issue i'm having at the moment is how can I make the text vertically align within the LI? Keep in mind that I can't put a height on as each image changes height. And these lists will be generated dynamically probably - so I don't really want to specify individual heights for each one... To make it even more difficult, the text may end up spanning onto two lines at some stage if i have to enter a larger description - so that also needs to be kept in mind. I've been looking around all morning for examples of how to do this and I can't find anything - so any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Here is what I'm trying to achieve: http://www.joshsphotos.com/user_interface/final_look.gif Here is the HTML at present: http://www.joshsphotos.com/user_interface/ And the CSS: http://www.joshsphotos.com/user_interface/css/style.css Thanks! I took over a website from a graphic designer. Needless to say, everything including all the text was a graphic. Now having said that I have an about page that is just that. I have taken that graphic and yes I know I should probably break it up but. So what I have done is take all or almost all of the text off of the graphic, the problem is, the customer can't change the text on their about page because of it being a graphic. Now I can set the graphic as a background image or a single image on a page. And what I need to do is float text over the image. Here is the image And here is the new image So how would I do the same with the text only using real text? Right now I have the image in a table and the text right justified. I'm sure there is a better way. I am making this table area and I want the table to have a image as a background to give it more of a nice detail to it but I can't figure out how to get it to work for the table. Thank you. Hi All, It has been 20 years since I last wrote a program and CSS wasn't even thought of then so I need a little help. I wish to place a text area/box with a background I can put text on top of in my html. Any image should work. I wish the text area/box to start 15% from the left edge and cover 70% of the screen width and be as high as the image. I would like the image to automatically re-size to take care of different screen resolutions. I would like to have no scroll bars on the text area/box and I would like the text to be fixed so it cannot be changed by someone typing in the text area/box. However for future reference I would like to know how to turn the scroll bars on so the text scrolls but the image stays fixed. I have included the html I thought would work but doesn't. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks, **** Roose <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" > <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type"" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <meta name="revisit-after" content="7 days"> <meta content="MSHTML 6.00.5730.13" name="GENERATOR" > <title>TestBox</title> <style tyle=text/css> txta { width: 735px; background-image: url(new.jpg); border: 1px solid #781351; height: 80px; padding: 1px; position: absolute; left:15%; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="txta"> <textarea name="t1" width "735px" height: "85px"> </div> </body> </html> When a user has the text display options set to big, the text gets out of the box.

I know its not the best design or css implementation but its my first css website: http://aplistia.com/unitedTours/UnitedTours.php (look at the white box surrounding the links: home, reserve, contact etc in the left side of the website.) the css is he http://aplistia.com/unitedTours/booksite.css I can make my menu using ul/li elements with either a background image with text in the li or I can just create an image with text in it and having alt text. Is there a difference in regards to search engines and is there any other reason that I would want to have actual text with a background img on the li? The reason that I would want to use images with the text built into them is that the text will no be resized and I can use a specific font. I am trying to make a rectangle with an image on the left and a horizontal list of anchor links on the right. Each anchor link should be a 32x32 px image with text underneath each image.
