CSS - Background Image Not Appearing
Hello, if you visit http://tombraiders.net/katie/alison/index2.html you'll see the site I'm working on. (User: letme Pass: in)
I want to put a background image within the container that all the body copy resides. I've tried editing the CSS file, located at http://www.tombraiders.net/katie/al...tyle_screen.css under "container3" however nothing ever appears. The image I'm trying to link right now is located under the img folder at the path img/image.jpg -- it's just a test image I want to use for now to see if I can get one working at all. Any help would be great! Not sure why it's not showing up. Thanks Similar TutorialsI must be missing the obvious? I have created an image that I want to tile vertically in the body of my document. So I have created a style for body in a linked css file with the following: body { background-image:url(image/background.gif); background-repeat: repeat-y; } In Design view in Dreamweaver, the image has the desired effect and tiles no problems, however when I go to preview it in the browser, the image does not appear. I have checked that the path of the image is correct in relation to the index.html page. Everything is saved on the desktop just now because I am experimenting with the technique, so in desktop I have the index.html and the image file (with the background.gif) in it. Oh and the css file is on the desktop too. I have also tried embeddeding the style rule in the head of the index.html and it still wont work. Would someone put me out of my misery please dmlocke Hi guys. This is my first post and I'm relatively new to CSS so I apologize if my post reeks of newcomer! I'm currently setting up my site with an external stylesheet. Everything has been coming along fine until I decided to setup a menu with css rollover image links. For some reason I simply cannot get the image to appear whatsoever. Everything else is working (such as position and size (I have temporarily given it a border for locational purposes)) within the code but the image just does not appear. I have looked this up for some time now and cannot come to a resolution. I have tried altering the code, changing paths, etc. etc. But I can't get it. Would really appreciate some help. Here is the rollover portion of my css: Code: #rollhome
{
display:block;
float:left;
margin: 0 auto;
width:122px;
height:50px;
text-decoration: none;
background-image:url("images/topmenu_home.png") no-repeat 0 0;
border:#000000 solid 2px;
text-indent:-99999px;
z-index:20;
}
#rollhome:link, #rollhome:visited
{
background-position: 0;
}
#rollhome:hover
{
background-position: 0 -50px;
}
And here is the rollover portion of my html: Code: <div id="rollovers"> <a id="rollhome" href="#"title="rollhome">Home</a>< /div> Any help would be most appreciated! I have two bits of code that work in IE, but not in Firefox, and I have no idea why! They both use the background-image property Here is the first: Code:
a.bio {
display: block;
width: 150px;
height: 26px;
background-image:url(C:\Apache 2.2\htdocs\_empaudio\test\images\btn_bio.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
a.bio:hover {
background-image:url(C:\Apache 2.2\htdocs\_empaudio\test\images\btn_bio_h.jpg);
}
Code: <a class="bio" href=""></a> And the second: Code:
td.window
{
width:670;
height:31px;
background-image:url(C:\Apache 2.2\htdocs\_empaudio\test\images\window_nav_repeat.jpg);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
border-spacing:0px;
border:0px;
}
Code: <td class="window"></td> Does ANYONE know why this is happening?? Here is my code: Code:
body {
background-color: yellow;
margin-left: 20%;
margin-right: 20%;
border: 1px dotted gray;
padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px; font-family: sans-serif;
}
None of the attributes such as background color, margins, border, padding are showing up when I test it out. Can someone help me? 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. 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. The live online link can be found at: www.markmcm.co.uk/test/test.html The CSS is as as follows: Code:

Any help would be very-much appreciated - and save an old bloke from tearing too much of his hair out(!) 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 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? 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 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! 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 I am trying to display a button image (70px * 70px) with text positioned above it. However, the size of the button scales with the size of the font of the text. How can I get the image displayed at full size? Image attached.

I hope it's clear. Thanks I'm wondering is is it possible to have a background-image for the <p>?? I tried this and nothing happen. The filepath for the image is correct. I saw at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/colors.html that this is possible. Code:
p.pBullet1
{
COLOR: #FFFF00;
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #FF0000;
BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url("image/ul_li_bullet.gif");
}
So, what did I do wrong? THanks, FletchSOD I have a div named navbar and im trying to apply a background image to a tags within that div. Now for some reason everything applies fine but my background image doesn't show up not even in dreamweaver. However the background image shows up when I apply it directly to divs. Any idea? How do I put a background image on a div composed of a dropdown and textfield? I've done this but it does not work: <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="search.css" /> </head> <body> <div id="searchbar"> <select> <option value ="value1">Value 1</option> <option value ="value2">Value 2</option> </select> <input type="text" name="searchbar" size="30" /> # searchbar { background-image: url(images/searchbar.jpg); } Also, I want to have another div on the same line for my submit button. How do I do this if a div puts a line break after its content? Thank you. 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? |
