CSS - Transparent Border W/ Example
Hey all, i'm trying to create pop up note box capabilities. My test example is using digg (dot) com's login box. If you go to the site click on login box will pop up.
And you will see the border around the box has a transparency to it. I've tried emulating it but to no avail. PHP Code: <a href='#' onclick="document.getElementById('notepad').style.display = 'block';">Open Notepad</a> <div id='notepad' style='display:none; top:150px; opacity: 1;'> <div class='notepad_body'> <div class='notepad_content'> Post a Note<br> Post a Note<br> Post a Note<br> Post a Note<br> Post a Note<br> Post a Note<br> </div> </div> <div class='notepad_footer'> </div> </div> That is the html to generate the box which works fine... the only problem is the border is solid, then if I change the opacity it turns the entire div box with opacity. Here is my css PHP Code: <style type='text/css'> #notepad { left:50%; margin-left:-315px; position:absolute; width:673px; z-index: 100001; } .notepad_body { background:transparent url(testbg.jpg) repeat scroll 0 0; padding: 40px 13px 10px 40px; } .notepad_footer { background:transparent url(footer.jpg) repeat scroll 0 100%; height:23px; } .notepad_content { background-color:#FFFFFF; max-height:900px; width:550px; } </style> Does anyone have a clue on what I am doing wrong or what I can do to make the transparency work just on the border? Thanks in advance Similar Tutorialshi, i have a container div, set at 50% opacity. i want my content to apear in here, but be 100% opacity. i thought this would work, but it doesn't... any help? #transContainer { background-color: #FFF; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 982px; padding: 7px; height: 100%; padding-top: 0; filter:alpha(opacity=50); -moz-opacity:0.5; opacity: 0.5; } #mainContainer { background-color: #ccc; padding-top: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 968px; height: 94%; filter:alpha(opacity=100); -moz-opacity:1.0; opacity: 1.0; } http://www.senti.ca/~kgf/programs/pickleball/ So here's the question... how do I make this picture, not transparent? Right now it's at 75% transparency on top of that background which makes it look very faded. Any ideas? I have tried: Code: filter:alpha(opacity=100); opacity: 1; -moz-opacity:1; And placing it inside of a div... sadly this doesn't work. Hi. Have created some simple tabs using table cells. Active tab should have bottom-border color equal to page background-color. Non-active tabs should have bottom-border=black. Works fine in IE, but does not work very well in Firefox. If I remove the border-collapse:collapse on the table, then firefox also work... but I would like to be able to keep the 1px border between each table cell. So is there a way to make this work in both IE and Firefox... and hopefully most other browsers... See code below: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> a.menu_top:link {color: #000000; text-decoration: none;} a.menu_top:visited {color: #000000; text-decoration: none;} a.menu_top:hover {color: #000000; text-decoration: none;} a.menu_top:active {color: #000000; text-decoration: none;} td.menu_top_passive { background-color: #777; border-left: 1px #000000 solid; border-right: 1px #000000 solid; border-top: 1px #000000 solid; border-bottom: 1px #000000 solid; text-align: center; cursor:pointer; font-weight: bold; padding: 5px 20px 5px 20px; margin: 0; } td.menu_top_active { background-color: #bbb; border-left: 1px #000000 solid; border-right: 1px #000000 solid; border-top: 1px #000000 solid; border-bottom: 1px #bbb solid; text-align: center; cursor:pointer; font-weight: bold; padding: 5px 20px 5px 20px; margin: 0; } </style> <script language="JavaScript"> function change(id, url) { for (i=1; i<6; i++){ eval("document.getElementById("+i+").className='menu_top_passive'"); } eval("document.getElementById("+id+").className='menu_top_active'"); } </script> </head> <body style="margin:0; padding:0; background-color:#bbb;"> <br><br> <center> 1.

It had to do with the DIV's CSS's border-style. If you set it to double then you notice some random bugs with it. Some of the time, the border is displayed without a problem. Some of the time, it is displayed with some gaps in the line as if it is not being drawn upon. Some of the other time, it is not displayed at all. I noticed if I switch from one tab to another then back, the border appeared as if nothing had happened. I also noticed that if I open the view source that overlapp the web browser then closed it, the border appeared as if nothing had happened. How do you fix that problem? Thanks... I would like to set up a table with a different border than the cells inside it. Here's my code: 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"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <style type="text/css"> TABLE {border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse; width: 200px} TD {border: 1px solid #ccc} </style> </head> <body> <table> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> That's all hunky dory in (gasp!) IE, but good browsers...they only show the lighter gray color. How do I get the table border to be different? Hi, This used to be my solution: Code: <table border=1 bordercolorlight='#CCCCCC' Bordercolordark='#FFFFFF'> But this only works well on IE - not Mozilla Now I want to use CSS: Code: .results { border: 1px solid #CCCCCC ; } Code: <table class='results'> --------------- The problem is, with CSS, only the TABLE acquires the border property. The cells within it don't. If I specify Code: <td class='results'> for all the cells in the table, this also won't work, because the cell borders overlap each other and some border lines seem thicker than others (because of overlapping). Is there any simple way I can specify the border property for the table - in ONE declaration? I want the table and td borders all to be a simple 1px width ...is that possible in one declaration? Thanks a lot! Ok so I have a vertical menu, with menus that pop to the side... it looks fine in every browser except IE. For some reason, the pop up menus become transparent in IE. Relavent CSS: #nav, #nav ul {/* 1st level ul */ padding: 0; margin: 0; list-style: none; float: left; background-color: #000000; width: 130px; } #nav li {/* 1st level li */ position: relative; color: #ffffff; font: bold 12px arial; padding: .3em 0em .1em .3em; border-top: solid 1px #ffffff; } #nav li ul {/* 2nd level ul */ margin: 0px; padding: 0px; list-style: none; position : absolute; left: -999em; background-color: #CCCCCC; } #nav li ul ul {/* 3rd levl ul */ margin: 0px; padding: 0px; list-style: none; position : absolute; left: -999em; background-color: #CCCCCC; } #nav li li {/* 2nd & 3rd level li */ position: relative; color: #000000; border: solid 1px #000000; padding:3px; font-family:arial; font-size:10px; text-decoration:none; } /* and some link styles */ #nav li li a { display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; } #nav li:hover, #nav li a:hover, #nav li.sfhover { color: #000000; background-color: #E5F5E9; } #nav li li:hover, #nav li li a:hover, #nav li li.sfhover { background-color: #F58219; } #nav li:hover ul ul, #nav li.sfhover ul ul { left: -999em; } #nav li:hover ul, #nav li li:hover ul, #nav li.sfhover ul, #nav li li.sfhover ul {/* lists nested under hovered list items */ top: 0px; left: 9.1em; voice-family: "\"}\""; voice-family:inherit; left: 10.4em; z-index: 1; } referring to: <ul id="nav"> <li><img src="contents/images/navarrow.gif" border="0" />Content For ... <ul> <li><a href="/community/864/Builders/23414.html">Builders</a></li> <li><a href="/community/864/Remodelers/23415.html">Remodelers</a></li> <li><a href="/community/864/Architects/23416.html">Architects</a></li> <li><a href="/community/864/Suppliers/23417.html">Suppliers</a></li> <li><a href="/community/864/Consumers/23418.html">Consumers</a></li> <li><a href="/community/864/Manufacturers/23419.html">Manufacturers</a></li> </ul> </li> example: http://www.housingzone.com/index.asp?layout=news&industryid=23414 Dear all, I am really stuck on this. I cannot use an alternative, I have to use png. I must have transparency. As you know, IE6 doesn't 'do' transparent png. I have tried three different hacks and I cannot get any of them to work. I am a good traditional developer, but fairly new to web development. Terribly frustrated that I don't seem to be able to get even one of these hacks to work. Please do you know the link to a page that has an easy to follow png hack for IE6 that you know to work? At this point, anything goes, as long as it works! Best Jo I am trying to use the IE workaround for PNG transparency (using the alpha filter). The trouble is it only seems to work on a fixed size image. Is there any way to successfully apply it to a repeating background? I can't seem to find any info on that so I am guessing it can't be done Hey guys, I'm going to try an explain my problem as brief as possible. Okay, so, my wrappers/containers aren't showing up with my desired background color properly using Firefox 3. Could you guys look at the code below and possibly help me out?

HOWEVER! It does work in both IE and Firefox if, instead of using <div> tags, I put the content in a table (<table><tr><td class="dataContainer">). Anyone have any idea why this might be happening and how i might be able to get the <div> to work? yes my friend has on her site scrollable screen separate from the fixed background but in the code its listed <style type="text/css"> table, tr, td { background-color:transparent; border:none; border-width:0;} body { background-color:91A4F3; now what would the optional choice of turning the transparent off? opaque? Ok, I am going to try to describe the best way I can my problem. Hopefully I can be pointed into the right direction. Here is my CSS: div.background { width:850px; height:1100px; background:url(images/Sunrise.png) repeat; border:2px solid black; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 35px; padding-left:15px; padding-right: 6px; /* for IE */ filter:alpha(opacity=45); /* CSS3 standard */ opacity:0.4; } div.transbox p { margin:30px 40px; font-weight:bold; color:#000000; } I have a div.background box with an image and I want it to have a transparentency or opacity of 45. The text that is in my div.transbox p needs to be just like normal but my problem is is that when I view my page in the browser my text is also has a transparentency of 45. Not sure what is going wrong. Would someone be so kind to point me into the right direction? Thank you, Diana Hi, I'm having a bit of a weird problem with a div layer being transparent when it shouldn't be in IE - works exactly as expected in FireFox. I've spent a fruitless day yesterday tring to figure out what I was doing wrong but no joy I've also searched this css forum but haven't found anything that quite answers my problem. The basic problem is that I have a web page with three columns of text ... test page ... in column one I have a list, when you mouse-over on an item in the list a hidden div is shown with associated text. The strange thing is that when I mouse-over the item, the hidden div is shown, but where the div crosses fromcolumn one into column two the background becomes transparent and therefore additionally shows the text underneath (which naturally I don't want). I've ensured that the background color is set to white (which fixed the problem in FF) but doesn't seem to work for IE. Again this odd because the part of the div which is over column one isn't transparent so why it becomes over column two is a little odd. EDIT : Just a little note in addition to above - obviously I have also set the z-index values so that the hidden div has the highest value of all div z-index values to ensure that it appears on top. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hi. I would like to repeat a small slice the entire length of a <div> column, however when I try to do so, the final results show just a white column where the image should be. Does anyone know how to fix this? The image is transparent so that you can still see the background behind it. Hi, The page in question can be found he http://serve5.net/xcage/. Basically, if you view it in Firefox/Mozilla, the background png for the element that contains the date is transparent with a tint to it. However, if you view the page in Internet Explorer, it is gray rather than transparent. Could someone take a look and tell me what's wrong? The CSS can be found he http://serve5.net/xcage/css/standard.css. Thanks, Rob. Here's the thing: I want to have a div, with 500px width and height, centered in the page with an opacity of 50%, for instance. Well, this is easy to do and it worked. Now, I need to have another div, like 200px width and height, inside the other one. That's also easy to do, now the catch: I don't want the second the div to inherit the opaque value from the parent div, I want it to have it's own transparency, which in this case would be 100% opaque. How can I do that? If possible at all... Hello I have a background image in my web site which is centered and fixed with no repeat. I would like to make it some what transparent. I know that it can be done by manipulating the image itself, but I need to do it dynamically using CSS. I tried adding the filterpque(alpha=0.5 style=0) attribute to the body but that made all the elements in the body (except for background image) transparent. does anyone know how I can do it? |
