CSS - Alternate Stylesheet And Background Images

The layout I have going is a bit difficult to explain. Here's a diagram..



The area of importance is the header. The content and main head area are centered. The area to the left and right of the header are a <div>. However, as you can see, the background image on the left is different than the one on the right. I'm having difficulty making this work. the images can be stretched horizontally without a problem, but the two sides must meet in the middle beneath the header.

I hope this makes sense.

What I've got to do, I think, is tell the background image of the underlying <div> to stretch to 100%, and make this image 300px wide or so including both sides of the image and a split. The split would hide behind the header. I can't find a method to stretch the background image, though.

Does anybody know of a better way, or a way to achieve this method at all without getting into completely different layouts?

Thanks in advance for any assistance/suggestions.

Hi

I have a table which i want to add 2 background images too.
what i have is. one image with no-repeat at the top. Then for the rest of the table, i want to have a gradient background. Is this possible?

Hi there,

hopefully someone can help me out with some background image issues. I simply want a right hand section on my site, where i can fill it with content and it can expand appropriately as per the content and display a top, middle and bottom background image.

this is because the style of the site has curved edges, so this will be a top image with the curves, a centre image and a bottom image with bottom curves.

here is my code but none of the top or bottom background images show.

please help, thanking you in advance.

css:
#feature {
float:right;
width: 287px;
height: auto;
}
.featuretop {
background-image:url(../images/css/featuretop.gif);
background-position:top;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
.featuremiddle {
background-image:url(../images/css/feature.gif);
background-position:center;
background-repeat:repeat-y;
}
.featurebottom {
background-image:url(../images/css/featurebottom.gif);
background-position:bottom;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}


html code:
<div id="feature">
<div class="marTOP10">
<div class="featuretop"></div>
<div class="featuremiddle"></div>
<div class="featurebottom"></div>
</div>
</div>

Is there some way to rig CSS to display 2 separate background images. I wanted to put the 2 images on opposite sides. I tried, but both IE 6 and Firefox 1.0.2 displayed only 1 bg image. Anyone got a suggestion?

Edit - Oh yeah...this is for the BODY tag. I thought I ought to mention that.

Hello, as the subject states I have a question about whether IE can display a background image on a tr and a td correctly. I have a table row with a repeating background then in the first cell in that row I have another background image that goes in the top left corner with a transparent background color on the cell so that the tr background can show though.

This works as it should in all browsers except IE where only the td background image appears and its transparent to the page background not the tr background.

This is the css:
Code:

.professor_forum_row {
	background: #ffffff url(../images/author_post_background.jpg) repeat top left;
}

.professor_corner_tab {
	background: transparent url(../images/article_sticky_author.jpg) no-repeat top left;
}

the html is just a table with those classes assigned to the row and first td.

Any ideas on why this is happening?

Thanks,
Ryan

Hello, I'm new to Dev Shed, I hope I won't seem like a fool here


Is there any way to have to background images?
I mean, I want to have a heading background image, and a footer background image to the same table.

longing to your replies>>>>

I have a site that will be relying heavily on background images sitting behind all the tables. These backgrounds will work in concert with the overall background-color: property.

My question is this, on the style sheet, of which I would like to have ONE. Is there a way to change entire background-images for each page within the site.

In another post, we went over how to change images within the same <div> by simply making the <div> a holder and swapping the image on each page by using something like:

<div id="image" class="page_two">

Is there a way to do something similar using an entire background image? Or do I need a separate style sheet for each page? Perhaps the main style sheet which has a body like this

body
{
margin:0px;
}

and then attach an additional style sheet to each page that supersedes the body tag in the main sheet?

I hope I am making sense...


thanks

Hi Folks,
I've designed an H1 page heading within a DIV with rounded ends. and HTML text inbetween. It should appear as a horizontally expanding and contracting capsule. I can make one end rounded with a CSS background image in the DIV or the H1 - but how can I do the other? No tables allowed here and it has to be done only in the stylesheet. I've tried a BG in the DIV and a BG in the H1 but they don't line-up, even when there's no padding or margins.

Is it possible to somehow attach an image to one side of an element?
Thanks
John

K. I have my content bg which is to repeat, but I want to put like another background image set to the right in the content box.
HTML Coding
*************
<div id="special_feature_top">
<img src="images/specialfeatures.jpg" width="800" height="30" alt="" />
</div>

<div id="special_feature_mid">
<img src="images/imagegalleryfeature.jpg" width="193" height="178" alt="Image Gallery" />
<img src="images/jointodayfeature.jpg" width="193" height="178" alt="Join Battle Glory Today!" />
<img src="images/forumsfeature.jpg" width="193" height="178" alt="Forums" />
</div>

<div id="special_feature_btm">
<img src="images/specialfeatures_btm.jpg" width="800" height="30" alt="" />
</div>


CSS Coding
*************
#special_feature_mid {
padding: 1px 0px 1px 10px;
background-image: url('images/content_bg.jpg');
}

That's the coding for the image now just with the content_bg. Now the other image I just want set to the background also so text can over lap or other images. It's a really nice opacity image that blends in perfect. I just want it in background also positioned to the right. thanks

I can't seem to find this solution anywhere

I want an image rollover with CSS to work in IE, but IE hates me so I can't get it.

Here is one of my buttons:

CSS:
#tab_nav #home_tab {
background: url(images/home.jpg) no-repeat;
width: 97px;
height: 33px;
cursor: pointer;
}
#tab_nav #home_tab:hover {background: url(images/home-over.jpg) no-repeat; width: 97px; height: 33px; }


Here is the HTML too in case you want it:

<div id="tab_nav">
<div id="home_tab" onClick="javascript:window.location.href='index.php';"></div>
</div>

Now, the rollover works well in Mozilla, but it doesn't work in IE.

Does anyone know how I can acheive this?

Thanks

BTW, here is the page

This puzzles me for this is the first time EVER that it is not working. I have "background-image" coding and NONE of those images are even showing up, yet when i add them on the index file as a normal image all is well...

Any ideas?

Is it possible without any client side scripting to load in backgrounda.gif for 800x600 resolution and backgroundb.gif for any other resolution?

Server side scripting is ok but I was hoping for a CSS method although I am pretty sure it's not possible.

Hi all.
I've tried searching the net but every solution either isn't applicable or doesn't work.

My problem is that all my CSS background images are not displaying at all in ie7.

they are called in via link id.
so:
PHP Code:
<a href="javascript:void(0)" id="cus" onClick="changeCus()"><img src="/images/space.gif" height="30" width="50" alt="" title="Customer Ratings" /></a> 




fairly simple stuff.
the corresponding css is
PHP Code:
 a#cus{background:url("../images/custM.png")no-repeat;left:-140px} 





I have treid changing the link as in ../../images... but that was dumb.
Adding a background position.
Adding display:inline.
Adding display:block.

Can anyone please aligten me as to why all my css images are failing.

It works fine in FireFox.
My doctype is set to strict.
It is the correct path to the images.
The images are on the server.

Any help would be greatly apprcieated.
Thanks in advance

Code and page displayed

Ive been working on it for a few days...making it look like a page. But now im so close i just cant get the top and the top right and top left corners to appear correctly as you can see from the link above. Any ideas why?

I realise using just div's isn't the best way w3 style but there are reasons why im not making use of other elements.

Hey all
I'm trying to get to images to go to the sides of my content
div. I've been looking on Google and everyone says you cant
have 2 background images on 1 div (well is CSS2 anyways)
is there any other ways of achieving this?

also firefox is putting a space between my nav div and my content
div, but IE7 doesn't, any ideas?
