CSS - Ie 6 Background Color Problem

Nevermind, fixed. Changed Pixels into Percentages.

Delete thread.

I made this administration system in php.. its a site php site with a table with a menu, under it is a iframe..

the code for the iframe =

Code:

<iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"  scrolling="auto" width="524" height="100%" src="news.php"></iframe>

then the news.php seems to fail when i scroll in firefox, since the bg in the iframe changes from #F4F4F4 to #FFFFFF in the new space thats uncovered when i scroll.. the bgcolor and bgimage is defined by css, heres the code:

Code:

.bodyiframe {
	background-color: #F4F4F4;
	background-image: url(../images/bgiframe.gif);
	background-repeat: repeat-x;
	background-position: top;
	background-attachment: fixed;
	}

It works fine in explorer 7, but firefox 0.8 cant handle it!.. plz help

i wanted usersto choose their own style sheet by giving them different links like red, green, blue which will take them to different layouts or background color page. the problem was that worked only for that particular page but if they click on any link or menu from that page it will take them back to the default color.
is there any way that i can set so that their choice will stay throught their surfing ?
any thoughts ?

Having an issue with the background color in a div.

The color shows up in I.E. but not in Firefox.

I have a div with a width of 100%. Inside the div is an unordered list with two list items.

Here is the css:

div#nav {
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
background-color: #EAE9E4;
}

#nav ul {margin: 0; padding: 0; }

#nav li {
list-style: none;
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 15%;
font-size: 11px;
line-height: 20px;
white-space: nowrap;
}

Essentially this will be a navigation aid below the banner of the webpage. The list items will contain anchors which will appear as "buttons". The containing div extends to the end and I want it to have a background color.

Any help appreciated.

Hi,

I have made a page using <div> tags.

<div id="page">
<div id="leftmenu">
</div>
<div id="mainarea">
</div>
</div>

My problem is that sometimes, the leftmenu is longer than the main area(1) and sometimes its the opposite- the main area is longer than the leftmenu(2). I want them both to be of the same height. (3)

How can I do this? Plz Help!

I have pasted the style codes for the 3 tags below.


(1)

(3)

#mainarea {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
float:left;
position:relative;
right:0pt;
width:630px;
}

#leftmenu {
background-color:#EEEEEE;
float:left;
left:0pt;
position:relative;
width:140px;
}

#page {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
position:relative;
width:770px;
}

Hi there people,

I have a question about CSS but before I start off asking this question I'll introduce myself.

I'm a new user of this great forum, my name is Dwight and I'm a student on the "Graphical Lyceum Amsterdam" where I follow the education for "Multimedia Designer".

Ok so now you know me a little, I'll start off asking my question.

Question: I have to change the layout for a html page that askes for information from different asp pages, but that's not my problem . The problem is that I have to make some td's a different color -the background that is- but the problem is that I can't change the html page itself (it is automaticly generated and I don't have permission to change it).
So my question is can someone tell me how I can change the color of some (not all!) td's with CSS without making classes?

Tnx, Dwight

Hey Guys!

I'm going absolutely bonkers trying to find out how to change the color of the background of a certain element on my site. I installed Vanilla forums on my site and am trying to customize the css script.

If you look at the page, you will see an annoying white in the body. I am trying to make the background of that #F6F6F2. Could you guys possibly put me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Hi,

I am trying to apply a background color to an item other than the body but I cannot make it display in IE 6 or 5.5. I have tried applying it to both <div>'s and <p>'s. Does IE not support the background-color property outside of the page background?

I've been trying to figure out how I can use css to make one side of the body one color and the other side another color. For example: if I want the entire left 70% of the page to be white and the right 30% to be black. no margins. it needs to stretch the entire length of the page regardless if there's any content in a div or not. And it need to be fluid. I've been trying everything I know and apparently that's not very much because I can't figure it out.

The link below is what I've tried using a bg image. Hopefull this will illustrate the idea. But I don't want to use a bg image if I don't have to plus the division where the color changes needs to be fluid with the text and I haven't figured out how to do it with the offset percentages. Basically the left side needs to be white as wide or wider as the left column and the right side color can go from that point all th eway right regardless of how wide the browser is. Does that make sense? I think I could do it if it were 50/50 but that's not what I'm after.

Has anybody done this or know how it should be done?

i have a problem dynamically setting the html background color when i initially set it with css.

if i have a javascript function:

function changeColor()
{
document.bgColor = '#FFFF00';
}

and call it when i click a button the background color changes like you'd expect.

but if i initialize the background color like this:

body{background-color: #FF0000;}

and then later call my javascript function to change the background color like before, it doesn't do anything.

what's going on here? and how can i initialize the background color and still be able to dynamically change it?

thanks

My page works great in firefox, but in IE the top navigation div (top_navigation) SHOULD have a background color of red for testing perposes, but the color doesn't change! It looks like its inheriting the background color #e4dfd7 from the css body tag.

I've tried using an inline style, or using !important, nothing works, and I have to make this available in at least IE6 and up.

Thanks in advance for any help!

html code -> cosmosristorante dot com / ox / index.asp

Can someone look at my site at http://www.personalhurricanecenter.....com/index.php? using Internet Explorer?

The problem is that on the initial load, the background of the main section (white in the middle) is fine, even though I had to drop the padding to 3em. You'll notice if you minimize and then maximize the window, resize it, or click on the "submit" button on the upper-right (which will redirect you back to this page) that the background turns blue. If you scroll down, then the lower portion is white. If you scroll back up, the background miraculously turns white again. But the section that remains visible during scrolling stays blue. Also, you can select the text in the blue and then deselect it and it'll be white! This does not occur in Netscape or Firefox.

Can someone tell me what in the world is the deal? I've spent a week getting this layout set so I can move on and it's holding me up. Thanks.

Tim

P.S. I have my background color set to blue in the body section of my css, and the main background color set to white. Those are the only bg color configurations (except for link options).

I have the following code, in the sidebar DIV in Firefox the background does not show up, it does in IE7. What have I done wrong?

CSS code:
Code:

#content {
	margin-left: 25px;
	background: #fff;
	width: 990px;
	padding: 15px 20px 20px 20px;
}

#blog {
	padding: 0;
	margin-right: 40px;
	background: #fff;
	width: 660px;
	color: #545454;
	float: left;
	padding-top: 5px !important;
}
#sidebar {
	width: 250px;
	padding: 8px;
	background: #ccc;
}

XHTML/HTML code:
Code:

 
<div id="content">
	
	<div id="blog">
    	 blah blah blah
	</div>
	
	<div id="sidebar">
		<h2>blah</h2>
		blah blah blah
	</div>
	
</div>

I've been looking it at for a while, and while it's probably something minor I'm just simple over looking, I can't figure it out.

Everything works, is in the correct place, except the grey background (#ccc) isn't showing up on the sidebar.

On the main page of my site, I have a "slogan box" with a width set to 40%. This is outlined and has a background color. In IE, it outlines and colors in the blank space up to 40%, the desired effect. But in Firefox and Mozilla, it outlines only up to where the text stops.

Here's the main css behind it:
#slogan
{
border-bottom:2px solid black;
border-right:2px solid black;
border-left:2px solid black;
background-color:#ABAABB;
font-family:comic sans ms;
width:40%;
}

Attactched is the screenshot from IE and firefox.

How can I make it look like it does in IE for all browsers (i.e., what is the correct code?)

The full code can be seen here.

I haven't succeed in getting the Javascript's DOM to tell me what the body's background color is... Here's the code I got

Code:

     mybody = document.getElementsByTagName("body");
     alert(mybody.getAttribute("background-color"));
     //alert(mybody.style.backgroundColor);
