CSS - Background Color (firefox)
Hello all,
When viewing in IE my background is dark red like it's suppose to be. When viewing the same site in Firefox the background is white. Firefox is not seeing that portion of code within my CSS file. Can someone shine some light for me? Thanks in advance!! Please help I need Please send me a message for URL. For some odd reason Dev won't allow me to post a link to my site for you. Similar TutorialsI have the following code, in the sidebar DIV in Firefox the background does not show up, it does in IE7. What have I done wrong? CSS code: Code: #content { margin-left: 25px; background: #fff; width: 990px; padding: 15px 20px 20px 20px; } #blog { padding: 0; margin-right: 40px; background: #fff; width: 660px; color: #545454; float: left; padding-top: 5px !important; } #sidebar { width: 250px; padding: 8px; background: #ccc; } XHTML/HTML code: Code: <div id="content"> <div id="blog"> blah blah blah </div> <div id="sidebar"> <h2>blah</h2> blah blah blah </div> </div> I've been looking it at for a while, and while it's probably something minor I'm just simple over looking, I can't figure it out. Everything works, is in the correct place, except the grey background (#ccc) isn't showing up on the sidebar. Hello there. I tried to display the background color in my navigation, but it wan't work. Works fine in safari. Doesn't work in firefox or IE Can anyone help? .navbar { width: 960px; line-height: 30px; background-color: silver; z-index:100; display: block; clear: both; } .navbar ul { font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 14px; margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; z-index:100; } .navbar ul li { display: block; position: relative; float: left; width: 120px; font-weight: bolder; z-index:100; } .navbar li ul { display: none; line-height: 20px; z-index:100; } .navbar ul li a { display: block; text-decoration: none; color: #48fc30; padding: 4px 15px 4px 15px; background: #silver; margin-left: 1px; } .navbar ul li a signup { background: #black; } .navbar ul li a:hover { background: #grey; } .navbar li:hover ul { display: block; position: absolute; } .navbar li:hover li { float: none; font-size: 11px; } .navbar li:hover a { background: #red; } .navbar li:hover li a:hover { background: #blue; } Im setting the background color of a division to #FFFFFF which in IE is perfectly white as you would expect. However in firefox it is coming out as a really faint green colour. Is this because of the way ive coded it or is this a problem with firefox? After years of developing, I finally decided to ditch the tables and use CSS properly for formatting. Things are going well, but I've run into a few odd problems. One is this one - I've chomped the page right down to illustrate the problem. In IE, the page renders as I'd hope, a bg color showing right across the page, with the left & right cols within that. In Firefox, the bg color renders, but STOPS where the left & right cols display.

I've searched around to no avail either. ANY help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance. I made this administration system in php.. its a site php site with a table with a menu, under it is a iframe.. the code for the iframe = Code: <iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="auto" width="524" height="100%" src="news.php"></iframe> then the news.php seems to fail when i scroll in firefox, since the bg in the iframe changes from #F4F4F4 to #FFFFFF in the new space thats uncovered when i scroll.. the bgcolor and bgimage is defined by css, heres the code: Code: .bodyiframe { background-color: #F4F4F4; background-image: url(../images/bgiframe.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; background-position: top; background-attachment: fixed; } It works fine in explorer 7, but firefox 0.8 cant handle it!.. plz help Hi; i don't known why background color does not cover over all the boxs in Firefox but IE does, could anyone help, please. my code as following Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <META HTTP-EQUIV="content-type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <style type="text/css"> html,body{ padding: 0; margin:0; } #container { position: relative; width: 796px; /* width + border for IE 5.x */ w\idth: 790px; /* real width */ height: auto; border: 0px; padding: 0; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom:auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; background-color:#f0f0ec; } #wrapper{ margin: auto; border:0; padding:0; width: 640px; height:auto; } .box{ border:0; padding:0; width:190px; height:220px; float: left; margin-left:15px; margin-top:20px; background-color:#FFFF99; color:#333333; text-align:center; overflow:scroll; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <div id="wrapper"> //in here i am goning to use while loop to select all the data from database, so i may have 30 boxs, or 50boxs. <span class="box"> gskjhdlk JAHDSLKAJSHD ADHSLKAHDLKSA HASDLADSLK ADHSAlds </span> <span class="box"> gskjhdlk JAHDSLKAJSHD ADHSLKAHDLKSA HASDLADSLK ADHSAlds </span> <span class="box"> gskjhdlk JAHDSLKAJSHD ADHSLKAHDLKSA HASDLADSLK ADHSAlds </span> <span class="box"> gskjhdlk JAHDSLKAJSHD ADHSLKAHDLKSA HASDLADSLK ADHSAlds </span> <span class="box"> gskjhdlk JAHDSLKAJSHD ADHSLKAHDLKSA HASDLADSLK ADHSAlds </span> <span class="box"> gskjhdlk JAHDSLKAJSHD ADHSLKAHDLKSA HASDLADSLK ADHSAlds </span> </div> </div> </body> </html> 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? Firefox ignores the white background in the "main" <div> in the following, but IE, Opera and Safari/Win all display the white background. Is this a firefox bug, or am I missing something here? Note: The z-indexes are for when the "main" div is scrolled... Also note: I am making the <body> tag relatively positioned because otherwise, Firefox (apparently) treats the viewport as the parent to the absolute-positioned element. In that case, it renders the white background until the bottom of the window, but reverts back to black "below the fold" because bottom: 0 is interpreted as the bottom of the window. Code: <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> body {background: black; color: silver; position: relative} div#header {position: fixed; top: 0; left: 20%; height: 80px; z-index: 2; right: 0; background: gray; margin-bottom: 2px; color: yellow} div#sidebar {position: fixed; top: 0; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 80%; background: silver; margin-right: 2px; color: maroon} div#main {position: absolute; top: 80px; left: 20%; right: 0; bottom: 0; background: white; color: red; z-index: 1} </style> </head> <body> <div id="header"> <h1>header</h1> </div> <div id="sidebar"> sidebar <ul> <li>one</li> <li>two</li> <li>three</li> <li>four</li> </ul> </div> <div id="main"> <p> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

I have tried applying it to both <div>'s and <p>'s. Does IE not support the background-color property outside of the page background? i wanted usersto choose their own style sheet by giving them different links like red, green, blue which will take them to different layouts or background color page. the problem was that worked only for that particular page but if they click on any link or menu from that page it will take them back to the default color. is there any way that i can set so that their choice will stay throught their surfing ? any thoughts ? hanks Hey Guys! I'm going absolutely bonkers trying to find out how to change the color of the background of a certain element on my site. I installed Vanilla forums on my site and am trying to customize the css script. If you look at the page, you will see an annoying white in the body. I am trying to make the background of that #F6F6F2. Could you guys possibly put me in the right direction? Thanks! Here is a link to my page: shipswatchdotcom/forum/vanilla/aaa.html Here is the css script: Code: #Body { margin: 0; width: 99.9%; position: relative; background: #F6F6F2; } #Head { background: #B8D4B8;

I'm a new user of this great forum, my name is Dwight and I'm a student on the "Graphical Lyceum Amsterdam" where I follow the education for "Multimedia Designer". Ok so now you know me a little, I'll start off asking my question. Question: I have to change the layout for a html page that askes for information from different asp pages, but that's not my problem . The problem is that I have to make some td's a different color -the background that is- but the problem is that I can't change the html page itself (it is automaticly generated and I don't have permission to change it). So my question is can someone tell me how I can change the color of some (not all!) td's with CSS without making classes? Tnx, Dwight Hi, I have made a page using <div> tags. <div id="page"> <div id="leftmenu"> </div> <div id="mainarea"> </div> </div> My problem is that sometimes, the leftmenu is longer than the main area(1) and sometimes its the opposite- the main area is longer than the leftmenu(2). I want them both to be of the same height. (3) How can I do this? Plz Help! I have pasted the style codes for the 3 tags below. (1) (2) (3) #mainarea { background-color:#FFFFFF; float:left; position:relative; right:0pt; width:630px; } #leftmenu { background-color:#EEEEEE; float:left; left:0pt; position:relative; width:140px; } #page { background-color:#FFFFFF; position:relative; width:770px; } Having an issue with the background color in a div. The color shows up in I.E. but not in Firefox. I have a div with a width of 100%. Inside the div is an unordered list with two list items. Here is the css: div#nav { width: 100%; margin: 0; background-color: #EAE9E4; } #nav ul {margin: 0; padding: 0; } #nav li { list-style: none; float: left; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 15%; font-size: 11px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap; } Essentially this will be a navigation aid below the banner of the webpage. The list items will contain anchors which will appear as "buttons". The containing div extends to the end and I want it to have a background color. Any help appreciated. Hi, My code validates apart from some Mozilla specific stuff at the bottom. Basically, in the socialbes-hover' part towards the end i have the background-color set to #F9F7ED which works fine in Firefox however in IE it always reverts back to the earlier code of a:hover { color: #F9F7ED; background-color: #006E2E and i cant seem to get it right whatever it try! please help me its driving me mad arghh lol thanks Code: .style1 a:active { color: #FFCC00; font-size: 8px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } .style1 a:link { color: #FFCC00; font-size: 8px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } .style1 a:visited { color: #FFCC00; font-size: 8px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } .style1 a:hover { color: #FFCC00; font-size: 8px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } a:link { color: #D15600; text-decoration:none } a:visited { color: #D15600; text-decoration:none } a:hover { color: #F9F7ED; background-color: #006E2E } .style1 {color: #D15600} .style2 {font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif} .style4 {font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: smaller; } .style9 {color: #D15600; font-size: larger; } /************Main Menu******************/ .menu a:link { color: #36393D; text-decoration:none } .menu a:visited { color: #36393D; text-decoration:none } .menu a:hover { color: #D15600; background-color: #F9F7ED } /************Comments******************/ .comments :link { color: #D15600; text-decoration:none } .comments :visited { color: #D15600; text-decoration:none; } .comments :hover { color: #36393D; background-color: #F9F7ED /************Sociables******************/ } .sociable-hovers { opacity: .4; -moz-opacity: .4; filter: alpha(opacity=40); background-color: #F9F7ED; } .sociable-hovers:hover { opacity: 1; -moz-opacity: 1; filter: alpha(opacity=100); color: #36393D; background-color: #F9F7ED; } i have a problem dynamically setting the html background color when i initially set it with css. if i have a javascript function: function changeColor() { document.bgColor = '#FFFF00'; } and call it when i click a button the background color changes like you'd expect. but if i initialize the background color like this: body{background-color: #FF0000;} and then later call my javascript function to change the background color like before, it doesn't do anything. what's going on here? and how can i initialize the background color and still be able to dynamically change it? thanks Take a look at the main menu on this site: http://www.infund.net Why doesn't the grey stretch across the entire table? Here's the code I have: Code: a.mainlevel:link, a.mainlevel:visited { width: 100%; background: url(../images/bluebug.png) no-repeat; font-family: Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: left; padding-left: 30px; background-color: #c2c2c2; margin-bottom: 1px; white-space: nowrap; text-align:left; } a.mainlevel:hover, a.mainlevel:hover { text-decoration: underline; background: url(../images/redbug.png) no-repeat; font-family: Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, serif; vertical-align: middle; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; color: #8B1414; text-align: left; padding-left: 30px; background-color: #c2c2c2; width: 100%; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 1px; text-align:left; } I have three "buttons" that are essentially <div> elements on a page made to look like a button. I would like to make the background color change for the button on the "hover" state, but for some reason the only part of the background that changes on the hover state is the area only behind the text. Here's my code. I'd like the whole background area to change, anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Code: .prioritycontainer { width: auto; float: left; display: inline; margin: 0px 0px; padding: 10px 0px; } .prioritybutton { float: left; width: 150px; height: auto; display: inline; margin: 0px 20px 0px 0px; padding: 3px 3px 3px 3px; background-color: #978047; border: solid 1px #CCBC77; color: #fff; font-weight: bold; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; } .prioritybutton a:link { color: #fff; text-decoration: none; } .prioritybutton a:visited { color: #fff; text-decoration: none; } .prioritybutton a:hover { color: #fff; background-color: #A19058; text-decoration: none; } .prioritybutton a:active { color: #fff; background-color: #A19058; text-decoration: none; } Markup on .html page is as follows: Code: <div class="prioritycontainer"> <div class="prioritybutton"><a href="one.htm">One</a></div> <div class="prioritybutton"><a href="two.htm">Two</a></div> <div class="prioritybutton"><a href="three.htm">Three</a></div> </div> Any help would be very helpful. Thanks, Brian On the main page of my site, I have a "slogan box" with a width set to 40%. This is outlined and has a background color. In IE, it outlines and colors in the blank space up to 40%, the desired effect. But in Firefox and Mozilla, it outlines only up to where the text stops. Here's the main css behind it: #slogan { border-bottom:2px solid black; border-right:2px solid black; border-left:2px solid black; background-color:#ABAABB; font-family:comic sans ms; width:40%; } Attactched is the screenshot from IE and firefox. How can I make it look like it does in IE for all browsers (i.e., what is the correct code?) The full code can be seen here. |
