CSS - Text You Can Select/highlight Over An Image.
Hey, y'all, can you help me out here?
Well, first, here's an example I'd like to accomplish at http://www.sparkplug.com/ I'd like to type the text OVER or ON an image but it's not part of the image so you can highlight it. I found some examples from Google using layers, however, these layers are positioned differently using different browsers. I tested using Firefox, IE 6 and Safari. I'm pretty sure that a 'professional' website like sparkplug does not use an amateur-ish technique as layers. :S. P.S Don't suggest me to include the text IN the image, lol, that's not what I would like. -Respect & thanks! Similar TutorialsI have this: Code: img.decor{
text-decoration:none;
border:#CCCCCC thin solid;
padding: 4px;
}
My HTML: Code: <a href="google.com"><img class="decor" src="images/birds.jpg" /></a> when I hover over the image "decor" in my CSS, I would like the whole image to turn grey. I tried this: Code: img.decor a:hover{background-color:#CCCCCC;}
but it doesn't work. Any ideas?? I just start learning CSS. thanks can someone help me with this? here is the page&css I have been working on... the page file the css file I might be silly to use a template that I did on illustrator (with all the banner, boxes and navbar read and just use that as my container background. then I made some transparent boxes for puting in text, images or form elements. Is that why I am not able to select any other those things on the site? this is the first time I try using css to make the whole webpage, so I would appreciate any guidance...thanks!! Hello, I am trying to make a select box (align:left) with link text (align:right) inline. I don't know what the best method would be to do this. I tried using li but it doesn't seem to be working. It looks like it should be simple but for the love of me... it's not working. Can you please show me how? Whats the best way to align text in select option drop downs that works also in I.E. 6 and 7 as well Thanks how can you specify a new font size in a select list. I need to make the items appearing in that list smaller than they already are. I am trying to set a background image to the select tag of a form, but its not working in IE, here is my css code: Code:
select {
width:116px;
background:url(../images/inputDropdown.jpg) no-repeat left top #333333;
}
any ideas on a fix for this??? thanks in advance! New to this but with due diligence, will learn this......I have built asp update form to allow users to enter new data into the database. They are wanting to change new text entries into blue rather than using the default color (black). This highlights those new entries for those reviewing the data. I have googled for methods ranging from radio buttons to check boxes to define a new font color with no luck so far....any help is greatly appreciated............best case I think, would be a font tool bar added to the form, but have not found that method thanks Good Morning All, Been having a slight problem with the visual in the screenshot below. The blue line is our H2, and the purple one is our H3, however, as you can see, the underline spans the entire width of the column, not just underneith the text, which is our requirement. ***As i am not allowed to upload a url as a new user, the underline is as follows. With the text centre aligned. text ----------------------------------------------------------- rather than text ------ and obviously by the css, the underline on the headers is a small image, repeated - x. Please see relevant css information. * (line 23) { margin-top: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 0pt; } h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 (line 101) { font-size: 1.2em; font-weight: normal; padding-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 0.6em; margin-right: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: center; } .contentArea h2, #secondaryNavigation h2 (line 114) { background-color: transparent; background-image: url("../images/h2_gradient_bg.gif"); background-repeat: repeat-x; background-attachment: scroll; background-position: left bottom; color: #0066cc; } Many Thanks in advance. Marc. Hi. See code below. Why does the outer SPAN in TABLE not grow with the image height. If the text is longer so it is forced below image then it looks as it should. Please also read some comments in the code. Code: <html><body><center><br><br> Why does image not force the outermost span to be at least as high as image?<br> If the text are long enough and gets below the bottom border of image it look good though.<br><br> NOTE: I need to put Image and text either within separate span or in same span as the examples below.<br> In my real application I'm using an <a href=" ...> around the outer span in examples below.<br> <br><br> <table border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=200px><tr><td> <span style="display:block; background-color:#ffa827; padding-top:10px; padding-left:10px; padding-right:10px;"> <span style="display:block; float:left"> <img src="landscape.jpg" height="40px" width="40px" alt="" border="0"> </span> <span style="display: block; color: white;"> Text here. </span> </span> </td></tr></table> <br><br> <table border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=200px><tr><td> <span style="display:block; background-color:#ffa827; padding-top:10px; padding-left:10px; padding-right:10px; color: white;"> <img src="landscape.jpg" height="40px" width="40px" alt="" border="0" style="float:left"> Text here. </span> </td></tr></table> </center></body></html> 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? Figured this was simple, but I can't seem to figure it out. Using CSS, I want to put an image on the left with text to the right aligned to the bottom. I could easily do this with a table, but I'd like to find a CSS way. With CSS like: .imginfo {float:none;clear:both;margin-top:1em;} .imginfo img {float:left;margin-right:1em;} and code like: Code: <div class="imginfo"> <img src="..." /> Line of Text<br /> Line of Text<br /> Line of Text<br /> </div> I get the image on the left and the text on the right, but, the text starts at the top of the image. I want it to end up aligned to the bottom of the image. Attempting to use vertical-align: bottom doesn't do anything with the text. The effect I am looking for is like below. If you assume the XXX are the image... Code: XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX Line of Text XXXXXXXXXXXX Line of Text XXXXXXXXXXXX Line of Text 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! Hello. So I have this situation (on the right): h t t p : / / img339.imageshack.us/img339/6958/1stb.png and when I change my browser resolution, I get this (on the right): h t t p : / / img35.imageshack.us/img35/3892/2ndhw.png Is it possible to do that the image wouldn't change the place on a screen even you when change the resolution of the browser? And yes, the image must be behind the text. Thanks in advance for any suggestions and tips. This is what i am using as my page, and i only want to highlight the top part i.e only test and not the lowers. when i include the current page highlight class to the menu the whole section is highlighted, is there a way to highlight just the li and not the ul under the li that are contained within the same class.

Hi folks. Long time lurker, first time poster. I've got some navigational menus that look great and work well in Firefox and Opera, but there are some odd issues in Internet Explorer. (I'm currently testing with IE7, but am fairly certain the same problems occur on IE6.) Interesting. The system won't let me put the URL in my post as I'm a new user, but this works... The URL for my test page is at a machine named www in the domain bobramstad.com and has the filename menu.html Just run that all together and you'll find the page OK. I'd cut and paste it here but I use a lot of whitespace and the file is kind of long, easier to hit the URL and view source it. For some unknown reason, under IE7, when I highlight any of the entries on the left which have submenus, the formatting of the main entry jumps around. It's odd. I have my own theories as to why this is happening, but frankly, none of them have panned out, or at least, I'm not sophisticated enough to hit on the right solution. FWIW, the current version of our home page uses an older mix of javascript and CSS which is not compatible with Safari or Opera and is also a bit clunky. Strangely, however, it looks fine in Firefox and IE, which might provide some clues as to what I'm doing wrong. I've been looking at this literally for three weeks, on and off, and have made some strides... the last problem is main menu jumping around when hover occurs... Any and all help gratefully received! -- Bob My problem is getting very frustrating been trying to fix it for ages, and its probably something simple but if i dont fix it soon my laptops going to find a river very quickly. I have a site using CSS(duh!) and when i highlight over a link on the site some of my text moves around. then when i highlight over my javascript drop down menu it moves back. its very strange. heres the link to one of the worse pages for jumping. http://zephyr-wgtn.co.nz/newsite/eventS.aspx Any help much appreciated. Regards Dan how can I highlight the link which I am currently viewing? I'm using external style sheets on a couple of sites, and have the following problem: When I click and drag down over the text, to copy & paste it into an email or whatever, all the text on that page is automatically highlighted .... I can't control the drag / selection, it's all or nothing. When I click and drag upwards, nothing happens at all ... it won't work. Any way to solve this? I don't get this problem with internal style sheets. Andy |
