CSS - Background Image Placement-help!!
Hi,
I'm trying to achieve the raised/gradiated background effect you'll see on the following URL (scroll halfway down the page) csszengarden Kyoto version (sorry, since I'm a new user I can't provide a direct URL) with an image gradient repeated on the y-axis. It is difficult to give an example of the image without being able to attach and image here. I've tried so many things I've forgotten my own name. Please let me know if there is any more information that I can provide. Thanks! Similar TutorialsHey everyone, I'm redesigning a site and I'm running into some problems in firefox with the placement of the header-background image. The problem is that firefox places the image about 15 pixels below the intended area. When I add a border of 1 pixel to the header div firefox places the image correctly. I don't have this problem when viewing the site in IE. I've coded the following XHTML and css: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>ParaCentrumEeldeHoogeveen</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="nl" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/layout.css" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="header">
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
And the css file: Code: html {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
body {
background: #3a60db url('../gfx/background.jpg') repeat-x;
font-family: arial, "lucida console", sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #000000;
text-align: center;
margin: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
#container {
border: 0px solid #ff0000;
width: 760px;
margin: 0px auto;
padding: 0px;
text-align: left;
}
#header {
background: url('../gfx/header.jpg') no-repeat;
height: 238px;
width: 760px;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
Screenshot of the problem Does anybody know what the problem is? Thanks in advance. Grtz. Arjen Hi, I am trying to line up a few images at the top of this page: iamthelab dotcom The 2 rectangles need to be aligned to the top of the page and I can't for the life of me figure out what I am doing wrong. I'm sure the solution is simple. No help from other forums, maybe you guys can assist. Thanks! Hello, My home page works fine on all browsers and platforms except safari. http://www.caillouette.com/EoLtest/ The two buttons below the main nav should be above the big blue "Request Information" button. Can anyone help? thanks -S hi, i'm trying to add an outer glow image to my site, starting about a 100px from the top. when i use padding on the element i'm adding the trim to, the entire site including the banner shifts down. so i tried using background position, which works until i add repeat-y, which causes it to repeat in the 100px where i don't want it. is there a way to make an image only repeat down? I'm aware that there are several threads addressing the issue of image placement, but I'm unable to find anything referencing the specific issue I'm having, so I figured I'd ask... Let me first say that I am a professional martial arts instructor, not a web developer. What I do know how to do is completely self-taught. Bearing that in mind, I've discovered a relatively minor issue with our site, and I'm curious as to input here. Blue Mountain Martial Arts You will notice two "bamboo sprigs" in the upper right and left hand corners of the page. It took me quite awhile to get these to the actual edge of the browser window, but it seems that what I did was almost too effective. When viewing yahoo's cache of the page the bamboo is still in the upper corners of the browser window, rather than still lined up with other page elements. Google's cache for some reason places the left bamboo in the middle of the page. This is also an issue when the browser window starts "small", and is then maximized. The images in that case do not re-align, and thus will stay where they originally loaded, which may be in the middle of the page. I'd like prospective martial arts students looking at our studio to be drawn in, rather than driven out by a malfunctioning website. Most of the time, the site works fine, but I'd like to make that 100%. Input...? What should I change to have the images load on the edge of the screen, but reposition themselves relative to the other page elements if necessary? How can I best place Image maps with CSS? It seems the text placement command works, but I don't know whether that's the best way. Here's a test page I threw together which uses this command to place the image map: http://www.gamexplain.com/test2.htm So is there a better way? How should I format the command? Thanks! Hello all, I'm new on this forum, but not that new to Web Design. I am re-working my website that can be found here. What I really want to figure out is how to replace the white box in my #mainContentWrapper class with an image that I made (which I'm going to post at the bottom of this). I have tried to locate examples of this online to try to learn something from those, but all of my efforts have come up short. I have also been able to chage the background image for that element, but I am still left with the white box on top of it. I guess I'm just missunderstanding the CSS box model. If anyone can lend some advice on this subject, I would greatly appreciate it. (URL address blocked: See forum rules) *edit: I can't find the guidlines for posting links to my page and the image I'm talking about so I'll just give you the url. the site is: (URL address blocked: See forum rules) and the image is at: starvingyoungartists.com/contentBG.png Friends, I am trying to provide a 'Print' functionality on my HTML page. The idea is to have a small print icon appear on the left side, followed by the words 'Print'. On clicking on the 'Print' link a popup window should open. The popup etc. works fine. How ever the word 'Print' is over-lapping the 'printer' image. The printer image comes up but the word 'Print' comes right on top of it. How can I place the printer image, and the word 'Print' on its right side? This is the current peice of CSS code I have written. What could be wrong in it? Code:
.linkprint
{ background-image: url('/abc/kap/com.ahj.wpc.layout/images/icon_print.gif');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
text-align:right;
margin-right: 10px;
font-size: 8pt;
font-weight: bold; }
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. In short, I'm trying to get this one image to tile down the page to the bottom, underneath a static background image. Basically, it's a 2pixel high image that's ready to tile vertically, just having a tough time getting it to work. You can clearly see the problem here, a gap at the bottom: http://www.groundedgroup.com/clients/NWR/ Here's the relevant css: http://www.groundedgroup.com/client...WR-GG/style.css I've googled and subsequently tried out some solutions, but no luck. Got any ideas? Thanks in advance. PS - Is there a way to keep the spiders from indexing my links above? The site is on a test server, so I don't want the url indexed. Hi, I have a question about setting up the Body background-image via a linked external stylesheet. I have a index.html file and a myStyle.css file. I want to setup the background to load an image file, test.JPG. When I embed the following in my index.html, I see the background show up: ** inside index.html file ** <BODY STYLE="background-image: url(test.JPG);"> blah </BODY> BUT, when I define my background in the externally linked myStyle.css file, the background does not load: ** inside myStyle.css file ** BODY { background-image: url(test.JPG); } ** inside index.html file ** <LINK REL="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css" HREF="myStyle.css"> <BODY> blah </BODY> </LINK> Please help. thanks! Hi. 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.

Any help would be very-much appreciated - and save an old bloke from tearing too much of his hair out(!) 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 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! Code: div.top {
border: 10px solid #CCCCCC;
border-bottom-width: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background-image: url(menutile.jpg);
}
The code above yields this . It is uneven with the normal image, though both are the same size. I simply want to tile the bg image to the border even with the normal menu images. What am I doing wrong? I'm trying to create a little background image for each image on this page. A kind of crappy looking polaroid type background image. It works fine in Firefox, but not in IE. Any ideas? http://www.rhizaowns.com/holly/index.php I want to use php to get images from a database and display them as css background-image attributes I know that the css Code: #id { background-image: url ('path/file'); }
works (obviously) and the html Code: <img src='image-generator-script.php'> also works but the css Code: #id { background-image: url ('image-generator-script.php'); }
doesn't work for me. It seems as though it should work. Why place such a seemingly arbitrary limitation on CSS as only being able to display images from existing files? I've done lots of searching through documentation and on forums, but not found anything conclusive either way. A couple of people have said it works. But it doesn't for me. Is there some extra configuration step I'm missing? Does anyone know for a fact that it works? -- so I can know for sure that somewhere I'm making a blunder in my code. But the code is simple, and I don't see where it could go wrong. (As is always the case!!) I can see the image in the browser just by pasting in the script link to the address bar. I know that url() specifiers are relative to the location of the stylesheet, not the html document, but in this case the html, the css, and the php are all in the same directory. I can't see what I could be doing wrong, so it really looks like you can't do it. But why?? And why isn't it mentioned in the documentation? (At least in the placers I've looked.) If you store all your images in a database, how on earth can you display any of them in CSS except by using a script in the url() specifier? I've seen plenty of tips about generating css files from php (I already do it), but that won't help in this case. All I can think of is to have php write the image data from the database into a temporary file, and put that file name into the url() specifier. But what a horrible kludge!! I will be very grateful to anyone who can give me solid facts on this question. Andrew Blake If I set the BG image in the css for the Header Div it of course will be the same BG image in the Header Div's on all pages. I am working on a website on which I want a different BG image in the Header Div on each page of the site. Just elinminating the BG image in the Header Div css will of course allow me to add different & individual photos in the Header of each page. But, that doesn't solve my problem. The image in the Header needs to be a BG image so that I can place text over the image. Any and all help would be appreciated. I'm having a lot of trouble with a background image that I want to cover my middle column. It fits perfectly in IE, but in FF, it repeats horizontally, so I put a repeat for only the y, and it's way too thin... Here's my code: Code: body {
background-color: #000000;
font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial;
font-size: 11px;
margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;
height: 100%;
}
#header { background-color:#000000;
height: 150px;
}
#leftbox { float:left;
width:15%;
font-color: black;
background-image:
url('/images/dkredblk.gif'); }
#rightbox { float:right;
width:16%;
background-color:#000000; }
#middlebox {
margin-right:16.5%;
margin-left:15.5%;
margin-bottom: -18px;
margin-top: -18px;
font-color: brown;
background-image:
url('../images/membersbackground.gif');
background-repeat: repeat-y; }
#footer {
position: static;
clear: both;
background-size: 100%;
background-color:#000000;
color: red; }
Now I've been told that you can't stretch background images in CSS at the moment, so how could I make this background image go in my middle column without repeating on teh x axis but repeating as far as the content needs on the y axis? |
