CSS - Background Won't Display With Div And Css
Hi Everyone,

Can anyone tell me what it is I'm doing wrong? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. Similar TutorialsHi Guys, I am new to CSS, i have an image (attached) and it will not display as a background image. The other images I have will no problem. It is def something about the image because i have renamed it e.t.c Could someone help? Image is attached! Can you get it to display? Charlie Hello, I'm having a problem that I can't seem to fix - and I've been at it for two days now, I think it's time for an outsider's point of view. First of all, I've googled and researched to no end about this - and others have had the same problem as me, but for some reason nothing that's been suggested has fixed it. With any luck it's just some stupid typo I'm missing or something . I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 to make a site, but I'm not using the WYSIWYG editor, I'm just using that to see what it looks like as a quick-view during development, and uploading it via FTP to the server to see a more accurate representation of it (basically, the code isn't written by DW). Here's the problem. In DW, the "background-image" tag in the CSS file is displaying all of the images perfectly, but when I upload the site - the images simply don't appear, but if you resize your browser window you can tell by the way the scrollbars are behaving that it is holding places for the images. I've tried everything I can think of, including using the "overflow" tag, trying different ways of writing the file paths (absolute vs. relative), and I've looked through every line of the code over and over again. CSS file: Code: @charset "utf-8";

You win many internets of love for your help. Hello. Can someone please help me understand why this page looks fine in IE7 and Firefox, but not in IE6: http://www.shootingblanks.net/TEMP/Nevermind/bio.php You can see that the background image is completely cut off on the left in IE6, and I'm not understanding why. Here's the CSS code for that div: Code: #bioContent {
background: url(../images/bkgnds/bio.jpg) no-repeat top left;
width: 140px;
min-height: 550px;
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
Also, there's one other page on the same site that's also behaving oddly only in IE6. The picture is not on the bottom-right like it should be, and it's getting cut off: http://www.shootingblanks.net/TEMP/Nevermind/news.php Here is the code for that div, if anyone has suggestions on that one too. Thanks!!!: Code: #newsContent {
background: url(../images/bkgnds/news.jpg) no-repeat bottom right;
min-height: 400px;
text-align: left;
}
I am wanting to display an image as a background. However that isn't working for me. So can someone please help me solve this problem? Thanks in advance. This is the css code that I am working with: Code:
body {
background-image: url(cattle_bg.jpg);
background-attachment: fixed;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin: 0px;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
This is the link for that css code which is the htm file: Code: <link href="/images/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> Is there a fix? Okay the backgroundimage "content-header" does not display in firefox for the <div id="contentWrapper"> tag. In internet explorer it displays. Not sure what the hell is going on with it. I hate css http://www.mgan.net/work/10-06-04/layout1.html There is the link, I have my styles in the header section of the html file. I have a gradient background image that goes from dark to light. At the bottom of the table if the body of text grows too large the table will stretch past the length of the background gradient image exposing the bgcolor for the page (not acceptable). If I change the bgcolor of the table the color is applied over the background image. Isn't there a way to fix this with CSS? Thanks for any help!!! An important part of my design is the background image. I have tried many different things but cannot seem to solve this. I have two options: Option 1: One placing the image in a tag within the body. Results where pretty good except in IE 6 the content is displayed under the image. You can see the effect of option 1 on this portion of the site: http://woodysfireworks.nl/w/index.html example Code:
/*option1 background image*/
img.bg {
background-color:#000;
/* Set rules to fill background */
min-height: 100%;
min-width: 1024px;
/* Set up proportionate scaling */
width: 100%;
height: auto;
overflow:hidden;
/* Set up positioning */
position: fixed;
z-index:0;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
@media screen and (max-width: 1024px){
img.bg {
left: 50%;
margin-left: -512px; }
}
Option2: I placed the image in the style sheet and then included a class and id in the tag. Here the images get blown up in all version of IE. example Code:
/*option 2 background image*/
#start{ background:url(images2/426.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='.myBackground.jpg', sizingMethod='scale');
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='myBackground.jpg', sizingMethod='scale')";}
I would really appreciate some insight. I am pulling my hair out. Thanks Hi everyone, I'm experiencing an unusual problem that I could use some help with. I've a layout that uses three background images (in separate divs) - a top bg, a bottom bg, and an overall bg. The bottom and overall background images are causing a problem. The top bg and bottom bg are supposed to line up. And they do! My layout looked fine on my computer (PC using Firefox 3.5.7 and IE8). I uploaded it to my personal website - and it looked fine there also. I validated the code successfully. The problem happened when I uploaded it to my client's web server. The top bg displayed ok. However, the overall and bottom background images did not display correctly. They seemed "squeezed". The overall should be center and extend to both ends of the browser window (the image is large enough). I can't seem to identify why it would do this. I even did a test by removing all of the code except for the div containing the background image. I added another div and placed the image directly into it (so that I could compare the size). Here's the css: Code: html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: #CCC;
}
#botDrop {
/* margin: auto;
*/ background: url('../images/bgDropBot.jpg') no-repeat left top;
/* width: 971px;
height: 50px;
*/ background-color: #CCC;
}
Again, looked fine on my computer, looked fine on my web server - displayed incorrectly on the client's server. On the client's server it again displayed (horizontally) smaller than it's actual size. My background image was initially about 1200 pixels wide. I reduced it, and that seemed to make it a little better, but didn't quite fix the issue. I suspect there's some sort of calculation going on depending on the screen size. However, I don't get why it doesn't do that for me when I view it locally or on my personal web server. Here's a screenshot showing the problem: http://www.stephencamper.com/screenshot/screenshot.jpg I just want the background image to display at it's actual size. Any help's appreciated. Thanks. -Stephen Hi All, Here's my issue... I have decided to try an all css-based layout which will incorporate: 1. a background image (770px wide) that repeats on the y axis in the BODY tag 2. a background image that will not repeat in a DIV tag that is slightly less wide (750px) than the BODY tag's background image The background image in the BODY will repeat on the y axis and provide a backdrop and edges that extend beyond and below the background image contained in the DIV tag which will also contain the main content/text for the site. [ Note: The background-image in the DIV tag is 631px in height. ] The problem is as follows: Since I do not have enough text to extend the content DIV to the height of the background image and/or beyond, the background image is not being fully displayed; the top and bottom of the background image is being cut off and the image as a whole is being pushed upward at the same time. To see the problem: http://publictrust.ca/css/default.htm The css is as follows: body { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #260D0D; font-size: 0.8em; background-color: #260D0D; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-image: url(../images/body-bg.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-y; background-position: center center; } #divHeader { margin: 0px; width: 750px; color: #260D0D; } #divMain { background-color: #EDCCA1; background-image: url(../images/container-bg.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center center; width: 750px; color: #260D0D; } #divFooter { text-align: center; font-size: 0.7em; margin: 25px 0 0 0; } #divHeader, #divMain, #divFooter { width:750px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; color: #260D0D; } #leftMenu { float:left; margin:130px 0 0 5px; padding: 0px; width:150px; } #divMainContent { float:right; width:500px; margin: 150px 5px 50px 5px; border-top: 1px solid #260D0D; } The css file can be downloaded at: http://publictrust.ca/css/css/template_css2.css Caveat: the solution must work in IE and mozilla/netscape AND when I add more text to the main content area, the DIV must stretch downwards to accommodate the extra text *without* changing the height of the divHeader & divFooter. Thanks in Advance, mne Hey, I have a feeling that this will not be difficult to solve, but I've come to the point where I don't really know what to do any more. They say two heads are better than one; that's why working in a team is so great, because there are people from different walks of life.

This is the HTML: Code: <img class="background" src="images/treesInFog.jpg" alt="" /> <img class="innerBackground" src="images/bgroundmain02.jpg" alt="" /> <!--This div is for the black border behind the nav--> <div class="borderBelowNav"> <img class="borderBelowNav" src="images/borderBelowNav.jpg" alt="" /> </div> <div class="divNav"> <ul id="mainNav"> <li id="quienesSomos"><a href="quienesSomos.php" title="Quienes Somos"> </a></li> <li id="campamentos"><a href="campamentos.php" title="Campamentos"> </a></li> <li id="noticias"><a href="#" title="Noticias"> </a></li> <li id="aplicacion"><a href="aplicacion.php" title="Aplicacion"> </a></li> <li id="contactos"><a href="#" title="Contactos"> </a></li> </ul> </div> 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 I've been seeing people using ul and li tags to make their menus in css. So I've started trying to do the same, here is an example. But obviously here, the buttons are not displaying inline. All of the styles are within the page code itself. I've got a display: inline style on the li tag, but it's still not working? How can I get this to work or is there any other way to get a ul li menu to display this way? 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. 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 Could someone enlighten me why the page in the following URL functions perfectly in both IE6 and FF and yet, I seem to be totally unable to get the darn thing working locally? I am trying to avoid JavaScript and this looked like a very clean way of hiding and revealing menu items. I don't speak Japanese so I don't understand the text on the page either. http://www.amy.hi-ho.ne.jp/staka/hp/dhtm/s_disp.htm Hi! Is is vicious to display a table as "display: block" to force margin-collapsing? Otherwise there's no margin collapsing with other elements. Thanks |
