CSS - Background-color Positioning?
Hi there,
Is it possible to start a background-color a certain amount frm the top, like you can with background images? I have a background image which uses rounded corners, but when I set the background-color, it overlaps the background image so you cannot see it anymore. What I want to do is to start the background color, say, 20px from the top. Is that possible? Similar TutorialsHi, 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? 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) (2) (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; } 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! Here is a link to my page: shipswatchdotcom/forum/vanilla/aaa.html Here is the css script: Code: #Body {

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 ? hanks 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 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 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);
Nice references I looked up from are http://www.mozilla.org/docs/dom/technote/tn-dom-table/ http://www.sitepoint.com/print/rough-guide-dom http://www.mozilla.org/docs/dom/domref/dom_style_ref.html http://developer.apple.com/internet/webcontent/dom2ii.html I have this transparent png image and it looks great on a web page when you put a background color on it. the only transparent part is the border, the rest is white, so the bg color is really for border. When you go to print it, however, printers dont normally show bg colors Is there some way how I can force printing the the bg color when the user prints the page? (I know some times u can configure that on their printer but I don't want them to have to do anything. ) 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. OK - I know all about the media="print" attribute. But I don't know how to force a background color (styled in a div tag; ie "background-color: black;") to print when the webpage is printed. I would think this would be a fairly common requirement but have not stumbled upon it. Also, it probably doesn't matter but I have been using Javascript to add the divs to the page dynamically, so I don't know if that would have any effect. Probably not. Any help would be appreciated. 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. http://sonicparke.com Has anybody done this or know how it should be done? 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 for some reason my background color won't show in firefox.. http://losemybreath.org/ take a look in IE and then in FF, I can't for the life of me figure out why it's not working.. any ideas? this is the css Code: body {

I have a horizontal ul: Code: <ul> <li>blah</li> <li>loooooooooooooooooooooong blah blah blah</li> </ul> If I set the background color: Code:
li { background-color: yellow; }
It works fine, but If the long line gets wrapped, the height of the background of that li is higher, and it looks very funny. I want the background to be equally height, independent on the other li:s height. Is that possible? I don't want to have a fixed value for the height Hello, I have been trying to figure this out, but have been unsuccessful. I am using a modalPopupExtender, but when the popup comes up, my background is still active. I suspect it has to be something in my css file, but would appreciate some help on this. I suspect it is the css that is causing this, but cannot figure out what. TIA! Here is the code for the MPE: <cc1:ModalPopupExtender ID="MPE1" runat="server" TargetControlID="btnShowModalPop" PopupControlID="divPop" BackgroundCssClass="modalBackground" PopupDragHandleControlID="panelDragHandle" DropShadow="true"/> Here is the code in my css file: .modalBackground { background-color:Gray; filter:alpha(opacity=70); opacity:0.7; } .modalPop { background-color:Gray; border-width:3px; border-style:solid; border-color:Black; padding:0; width:250px; color:White; } .drag { background-color:#ff0000; cursor: move; border: solid 2px white; } I found the issue by referencing a blank css file and slowly adding statements in. It was a combination of the following which prevented the backgroundcssclass to not be shown propertly: #body div div { background: url(images/body_tr.gif) top right no-repeat; } #body div div div { background: url(images/body_bl.gif) bottom left no-repeat; } #body div div div div{ background: url(images/body_br.gif) bottom right no-repeat; } #body div div div { background: url(images/body_bg.gif) bottom left no-repeat; } #body div div div div { background: url(images/body_bg.gif) bottom right no-repeat; } #body .inner div { background: none; } I ended up add these bg imgs in my master page div tags directly and is working fine.....for now :P Edit/Delete Message 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 Hello, I can't seem to figure out how to get the body of this page to be white... you can see the page at: www.brandontutmarc.com/vlr and the attached CSS is at: www.brandontutmarc.com/vlr/viva.css Here is what I'd like it to look like: http://www.brandontutmarc.com/vlr/vlr1.jpg Any help is GREATLY appreciated... I want to display text when I hover over certain areas of an image, so I am using an image map, no href, and assigning the text using ALT=. As a result, the text shows up as a tooltip. It works great except that the background color in the tooltip box is a very dated yellow color that looks inconsistent with the rest of my page. Is there any way to change the background color? (I am trying to avoid scripts because I've never used them and don't really have time to learn how, at this point) Thanks, Beth Hello all, When viewing in IE my background is dark red like it's suppose to be. When viewing the same site in Firefox the background is white. Firefox is not seeing that portion of code within my CSS file. Can someone shine some light for me? Thanks in advance!! Please help I need Please send me a message for URL. For some odd reason Dev won't allow me to post a link to my site for you. Hello All. I'm working on an assignment for an introductory level html/css class. The assignment asks me to change the Window Background color to 666666. How do i do this? So far i've only be able to change background colors of element tags, which is not what i need. This was the Example give for this particular step. Edit: i tried to link a picture for a visual. For some reason its blocked to new members. Any help would be appreciated. |
