CSS - Header Background
Hello,
I am trying to create a header with a background color and a padding of the text. I know that if I apply the background color to the header it will expand 100%. So I did the following: <h1><span>Header</span></h1> h1 {} h1 span { background-color: #252525; color: #D2D2D2; font: normal 1.2em/1.8 Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.1em; padding: 0.8em; } But now I am not able to apply the top and bottom padding. How should I create this header? Thanks, Miguel Similar TutorialsHi I am trying to insert a logo into my header at Site and here is the CSS code for the Header section: Code: /* HEADER */ #header h1{ font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:300%; font-weight:bold; } #header h1 a, #header h2{ color:#000; margin-left:2em; } #header h1 a:hover{ background:transparent; color:#000; text-decoration:none; } #header h2{ padding-left:7em; font-size:120%; font-weight:bold; font-style:italic; } /* END HEADER */ I want to have this inserted which puts a logo icon exactly where I need it Quote: background-image: url(http://guayadeque.wikidot.com/local--files/start/guayadeque2.png); height: 80px; width: 80px; position: absolute; top: 5px; left: 10px; And this is exactly how I want it but no matter where I try to put it, it mucks up the entire Header. Can someone shed some light on where that can go on the Header to be a logo icon in the position I want it? Hey, Im pulling my hair out...basically iv developed a site testing it in safari and when i have come to test it in FF the background image i am displaying in my header div doesn't display in FF but displays fine in Safari, unable to check IE atm. Iv broken down my code down and put together a simple test html script and css script and still no joy. Below is the script can anyone see where i am going wrong...hope so. Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Background Image Test</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="millar.css" /> </head> <body> <div id="container"> container <div id="header"> header </div> <div id="main"> main </div> <div id="footer"> footer </div> </div> </body> </html> Code: body { background-color: #F0F0F0; font-family: verdana; font-size: 10px; color: #333333; } #container { background-color: red; margin: 0 auto; } #header { background-color: yellow; height: 100px; background-image: url('topbanner.jpg'); } #main { background-color: blue; } #footer { background-color: green; } cheers tom Hello, Tried searching and couldn't find anything. I want my header's background to match that of the body. Essentially, a "see-through" header. Shouldn't this be some easy markup? Thanks. Hi guys, I know most of you are probably not familiar with the blogger code, but I wanted to see if I code post some bits of code and maybe you can help me with my problem. My problem is, is that I'm trying to add a google adsense search bar in the header of my blog (www.mytechnicalinterviewexperience.com). Here is the piece of code that initially defines the header: Code: #header-wrapper { background:$titleBgColor url("http://www.luckyninedesign.com/tech/header.gif") no-repeat $startSide top; margin-top:22px; margin-$endSide:0; margin-bottom:0; margin-$startSide:0; padding-top:8px; padding-$endSide:0; padding-bottom:0; padding-$startSide:0; color:$titleTextColor; height:105px; } So in blogger, you can make it so you can add a "widget" to the header, and in that widget is where I'll be able to put my adsense code. However, when I add the widget, the adsense search bar appears, but it also puts the background image that I have defined for #header-wrapper. Here is the code that appears after I add the widget: Code: <b:widget id='HTML2' locked='false' title='' type='HTML'> <b:includable id='main'> <!-- only display title if it's non-empty --> <b:if cond='data:title != ""'> <h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2> </b:if> <div class='widget-content'> <data:content/> </div> <b:include name='quickedit'/> </b:includable> </b:widget> Basically, I just want to add a new widget to the header without having the header background appear again. Is there any code I can add here that says, don't have the background appear? I've tried removing the if statement but it does not work. If there is anything else I can provide you with, let me know. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks. Joe I had been helped on this board previously with this question for a site I was working on. I am using the same approach on another site to link back to the home page from the internal pages. And for all intents and purposes it is working. However I could/can not figure out how to precisely position where the link starts and ends. http://www.guestwardho.com/campground_map.html If, for example, you go to the above page and put your mouse over the header image you will see the link begins at the left edge of the header image. If you move to the right the link 'ends' a little more then half way across the image - at the uppercase 'H' in 'Ho' for reference. Again, this is fine for this purpose/site, but cannot figure out how to control where the link area starts and ends. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Hi everyone, I'm somewhat new to CSS and so far I have been able to solve everything except for this one problem. This is code from the styles.css file in the blog that I'm building, now this is a free template that I'm using and there is also a header.php file but that has only php code. In the frist part of the css file this appears: body { font-family: Verdana, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 80%; color: #232323; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background: url(images/header.png) no-repeat top; } The background line is the image that appears as the background for the header portion of the site, and it is 960px X 150px. Then there's this part: #header { float: left; width: 960px; height: 156px; } Then towards the middle of the code there is this other part which also relates to the header: .top-header { float: left; width: 960px; height: 62px; padding-top: 60px; } .top-header a { color: #000000; text-decoration: none; } .top-header h1 { color: #000000; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 960px; font-size: 26px; } .top-header p { color: #000000; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 960px; } So the problem I'm having is that I have designed a logo that is about 460px X 100px and I want this to go on top of the already defined background layer above in the body part. I have tried "positioning" and also tried to set it as another background and it just appears all over the place. Also the picture I crafted in photoshop has an invisible background so that only the decorative text of the log shows up, so if I use the background method to insert it, it appears with a white background. So any pointers on this would be a great help. I have tried researching this all kinds of ways and I'm still not sure what to do Thanks Chas. Hey all, I have a background image that I want to repeat horizontally at the top and the bottom of a page (below all of the content, not necessarily at the bottom of the screen) that I'm creating, for the Header and Footer. I would like it to look something like this. I'm using this code for the background image, for the Header: body { background-image: url(stars.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x } And I'm wondering whether I can include another background image in the "body" code, telling it to repeat horizontally, but at the bottom of the page? Here is the code that I'm assuming would have to be used: { background-image: url(stars.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; background-position: bottom; } Can someone suggest to me where this code should go? Could I include it in the "body" css code? Or should I put it below all of the rest of the columns/content code? Thanks. Hi all, I need some help. I have implemented a fixed header on my site, but certain content is scrolling above the header while other is scrolling behind. I would like it all to scroll behind the fixed div's. I have a div with a background color set, that I want to have slightly transparent. Inside that div, is essentially my entire website. Now if I apply the opacity to the main outer div, all the divs inside inherit that transparency. Any ways to get around this? The outer Div with the transparency is the "content_wrapper" div. It excludes the header and footer. So the only issue is correcting everything wrapped inside the "content_wrapper" and "content" div. I tried setting the "content" div to opacity: 1; but it had no effect whatsoever. http://www.area51entertainment.co/index.php?about So I have a design where the background is a large (1400x1100) image that fades into a vertical gradient at the edges. I've set up the css as follows: body { background: #000 url(gradient.jpg) repeat-x; margin: 0; } Here's where I run into my problem... I've created an empty DIV to hold the large image which will appear on top of the gradient and positioned it absolutely. <div id="bg_image"></div> #bg_image { width: 100%; height: 1100px; background: url(images/bg_image.jpg) no-repeat top center; margin: 0; position:absolute; } This works and the background looks like it should, however because the large image is inside a DIV, any time the browser window is smaller than that div (which will be the case for most users considering the image size) there will be scrollbars. This makes perfect sense of course I just can't come up with an alternative. If there was a way to extend a background image beyond the borders of a DIV that would work but overflow:visible; doesn't seem to work with background images only content. I wish I could set a repeating background AND a static background in the body style, because that is exactly the effect I'm trying to achieve. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Josh 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. Post resolved -- css controlled by unmentioned files. (apologies for duplicate post, was sure that was "edit" but must not have been) what in gods name am I doing wrong? I want the header image to scale with the web page, I can't stand how it shows the scroll bar when you resize firefox's window. themidnighter .ca/test Thanks! I'm currenty working on a website, and header is really starting to get on my nerves. If you go to http://www.techtalk.l2p.net/tab/index.php you can see what I have done so far. Well, I have a few problems. When trying to log in, and you press tab to go from Username to Password, it goes to the Login link instead. After filling in the Password field, and you press Enter, nothing happens. When the browser is resized, the whole header gets messed up. I was thinking some CSS could help it work, but I have no idea where to start. Any help would be appreciated. hi my site uses class i press, a wordpress theme (www,grimsbyforsale,com) how do i make my header bigger so my logo image does not overlap? what values on what code would i need to change i am new to all this ?

I am hoping one of you guys can help me out. I am relatively new to coding with css and have read a bunch of tutorials but cannot for the life of me figure out how to convert the following table into divs: Code: <table border=0 width=100%> <tr> <td rowspan=3>logo</td> <td rowspan=3>navigation bar</td> <td>some links</td> </tr> <tr> <td>search box</td> </tr> <tr> <td>more links</td> </tr> </table> Basically its the header part of the design, I have the rest of it done without much problems. I have tried everything but cannot get it to look like the table. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Why is the second header on his site is located at the bottom of the page, I can't seem to figure it out. Can anyone take a look at the page and maybe point me in the right direction? The url is <NO LONGER AVAILABLE> I know that is has to have something to do with #clearheader1 or #clearheader2 calls. Maybe where they are placed or something. Hello, my name is Jordan, and I run breatheheavy (can't post the URL) I have a new header designed that's 1665x515px. I am having a little trouble putting it on the website because of the current restrictions placed in Wordpress on the header.php and style.css files. When I uploaded the header and changed the settings in Wordpress, it didn't look correct on all browsers or the iPad. I was hoping to get some help from someone that could help me with this and make it compatible with all browsers / mobile version. You can see the site on an ipad simulator site (also can't post the link) Thanks for reading Sending good vibes your way, Jordan |
