CSS - Can't Get Background Color For Input To Work

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 there people,

I have a question about CSS but before I start off asking this question I'll introduce myself.

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

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 ?

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)

(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;
}

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!

Hi,

I am trying to apply a background color to an item other than the body but I cannot make it display in IE 6 or 5.5. 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?

Hi,

I am trying to set background color on hover for a single table of links, rather than the entire document like the below example shows.

http://www.projectseven.com/tutorials/css/pseudoclasses/

I have tried various ways, I do not want to use javascript for this and I am aware of the way to apply background color to the .td field but this also applys to the normal text not just links.

So my question is how do I apply the background hover color to one table of links instead of the body. Thanks!

Hello,

I have been trying to figure this out, but have been unsuccessful. I am using a modalPopupExtender, but when the popup comes up, my background is still active. I suspect it has to be something in my css file, but would appreciate some help on this. I suspect it is the css that is causing this, but cannot figure out what. TIA!

Here is the code for the MPE:

<cc1:ModalPopupExtender ID="MPE1" runat="server"
TargetControlID="btnShowModalPop"
PopupControlID="divPop"
BackgroundCssClass="modalBackground"
PopupDragHandleControlID="panelDragHandle"
DropShadow="true"/>


Here is the code in my css file:

.modalBackground {
background-color:Gray;
filter:alpha(opacity=70);
opacity:0.7;
}

.modalPop {
background-color:Gray;
border-width:3px;
border-style:solid;
border-color:Black;
padding:0;
width:250px;
color:White;



}

.drag
{
background-color:#ff0000;
cursor: move;
border: solid 2px white;



}










I found the issue by referencing a blank css file and slowly adding statements in. It was a combination of the following which prevented the backgroundcssclass to not be shown propertly:

#body div div { background: url(images/body_tr.gif) top right no-repeat; }

#body div div div { background: url(images/body_bl.gif) bottom left no-repeat; }
#body div div div div{ background: url(images/body_br.gif) bottom right no-repeat; }


#body div div div { background: url(images/body_bg.gif) bottom left no-repeat; }
#body div div div div { background: url(images/body_bg.gif) bottom right no-repeat; }


#body .inner div { background: none; }

I ended up add these bg imgs in my master page div tags directly and is working fine.....for now :P

I haven't succeed in getting the Javascript's DOM to tell me what the body's background color is... Here's the code I got

Code:

     mybody = document.getElementsByTagName("body");
     alert(mybody.getAttribute("background-color"));
     //alert(mybody.style.backgroundColor);

Nice references I looked up from are

http://www.mozilla.org/docs/dom/domref/dom_style_ref.html
http://developer.apple.com/internet/webcontent/dom2ii.html

Can this be done?
My table is 4 columns with about 400 rows.

I want to style the background color across each row but in fixed blocks/rows.
i.e
rows 1-55 red
rows 55-60 green
rows 61-100 red
rows 121-158 green
etc
just using two colors.

Any pointer in how it could be done?

I've been trying various fixes with my template, so that the grey background color in the sidebar, extends beyond the content to the bottom of the page.

Alas... nothing is working.

Here's my code:

Code:

#l_sidebar { color: #cccccc; background-color: #3a3a3a; width: 160px; float: left; float: left; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0 15px 15px 15px; }

With IE, the background of SELECT elements is not respecting the CSS file setting. But IE does respect the CSS for the INPUT element. Netscape 7.1 and Mozilla Firefox work correctly for SELECT and INPUT.

Here is a snippet from my stylesheet file:

SELECT
{
FONT-WEIGHT: normal;
BACKGROUND: beige;
COLOR: darkgreen
}
INPUT
{
FONT-WEIGHT: normal;
BACKGROUND: beige;
COLOR: darkgreen
}

I have tried #FFFFD8 and #F5F5DC as alternatives to the name "beige" for the SELECT entry. Result is always white. Yet my text boxes show properly as beige so I am confused about why that name is ignored for SELECT elements. Note that I can change the entry to something basic like BACKGROUND: yellow and that displays correctly (but I don't want yellow - I want beige - like the INPUT element).

These SELECT and INPUT elements are always in some table such as:
<td class=genericinputleft>Starting Date<select name=dd1 etc.

Could there be a cascading problem in IE ? Here is the CSS:

.genericinputLeft
{
FONT-WEIGHT: bold;
FONT-SIZE: x-small;
BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%;
COLOR: black;
FONT-FAMILY: Arial;
text-align: left;
vertical-align: top
}

I have tried commenting out the BACKGROUND entry from the class above but that does not seem to help. Thanks.

My page works great in firefox, but in IE the top navigation div (top_navigation) SHOULD have a background color of red for testing perposes, but the color doesn't change! It looks like its inheriting the background color #e4dfd7 from the css body tag.

I've tried using an inline style, or using !important, nothing works, and I have to make this available in at least IE6 and up.

Thanks in advance for any help!

html code -> cosmosristorante dot com / ox / index.asp

I 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.

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
