CSS - Using A Background-image On A Submit Button Adds An Extra Border In Ie
i'm trying to style my submit button to have a gradient background with a solid blue border. looks awesome in FF, however when I try to apply the background image to the submit button in IE (6 and 7), there will be an extra border inside of the blue border. it seems to be whatever color i set my background-color to.
Code: border: 1px solid #69A2CC; background: transparent url(gradient.jpg) no-repeat scroll 0 center; Similar TutorialsI'm having trouble setting the background image of a submit button. This is my code: Code: <input class="submit" type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" style="background-image:url('img/enter.jpg');" />
I've also tried putting the css in my external css file in the .submit tag... didn't work. I know the path to the image is correct because the following works: Code: <input type="image" src="img/enter.jpg" /> What gives? Thanks When viewed in IE my form's submit button shows up with a black border around it, and when clicked onto another blank space of the space, it goes to normal colors as applied in this css code. Code: font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12px; background-color: #FFFFFF; color : #000000; border: 1px solid #A5B4BC; What could fix this? Thank you. dear all, some simple divs of mine seem to be rendering differently in IE6 and IE7. for example, the following style works fine in IE6... Code:
#calHourNow {
background-color: #FFFF66;
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
width:50px;
height: 120px;
border-top:1px solid #999999;
border-right:1px solid #999999;
color:#000000;
font-weight:bold;
font-size:14px;
text-align:right;
font-family:"Times New Roman", Times, serif;
}
... I am left with a 12o x 50 px box (which is repeasted down the page) but in IE7 it seems the 1px border is added to the width and height, leaving me with a div that is actually 121 x 51 px. It is completely vital for my project (an outlook style calendar) that the dimensions of these divs are exactly the same on both browsers, is there a way round this? Many thanks, Mark Here's the deal. I want to have one generic button image that I can use for all buttons. Therefore, I don't want to have words on the image but instead want to write them in afterward. Normally, you could just do something like Code: <input type="image" src="..." and things are fine. However, like I said, I don't want to do that because this forces me to create an image with the words already on them. I want a black button that I can write the words on, but want it to still behave like a submit button. Which means, once I type in my username and password, I just want to be able to hit enter (and not be forced to click on the button) and submit the form. Am I asking for too much? Hi: I recently posted this issue (http://forums.devshed.com/css-help-116/border-image-problems-with-ie-312603.html) and got half the problem solved. I have an image as the background of a <td> tag. Also I have a border-top and border-bottom surrounding the image. My problem is that in IE, the borders are not lining up agains the image. They are a pixel away, which screws up my tabs. CSS: Code:
html, body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0;
background: #EEF;
font: 11px/13px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000;
}
table#main {
margin: 3px;
padding: 3px;
width: 99%;
}
#header {
background: #FFF;
background-image: url(include/head.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 136px;
width: 100%;
background-position: right top;
border-top: 1px solid #999;
border-bottom: 1px solid #999;
}
#nav {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 125px;
float: left;
}
#nav li {
list-style: none;
float: left;
margin-left: 4px;
padding-left: 15px;
font-size: 10px;
line-height: 17px;
white-space: nowrap;
background: url(include/tab.gif) 0 0 no-repeat;
border-bottom: 1px solid #999;
}
#nav a {
display: block;
float: left;
padding: 0 16px 0 0;
text-decoration: none;
background: url(include/tab.gif) 100% 0 no-repeat;
color: #999;
width: .1em;
}
html>body #nav a {width: auto;} /* fixes IE6 hack */
/* Commented Backslash Hack hides rule from IE5-Mac \*/
#nav a {float: none;} /* End IE5-Mac hack */
#nav a:hover {color: rgb(62%,35%,22%);}
#nav #current, #nav #current a {
color: #FDB;
background-image: url(include/tab.gif);
}
.title {
font: bold 24px/26px "Times New Roman", Times, serif; color: #000;
display: block;
margin-left: 4px;
}
The pertinant declaration is the #header id. I used the background-position: right top as was suggested which solves the the problem at the top, but now there are two pixels separating the image and the border on the bottom! Please help! As a side note, this works perfectly in Firefox (of course). If any other info is warranted, please let me know! The link to the page is: http://www.wiu.edu/users/mujas2/test/ Hi, I just was wondering if there is a way to load an image as background of a div with a 1px padding from the border of that same div. At the moment I have to create two divs. The first div has the border and a padding of 1px and the second div loads the image as background! However I was wondering whether I could do all this in one. Regards, Sim085 hi i have following xhtml Code: <body> <div id="content" class="centrehack"> <div id="header" class="centrehack"> <div id="topRightLogin"> <form action="#" method="post"> <input type="text" name="uname" value="username" /> <input type="password" name="passwd" value="password" /> <input type="image" src="images/headerlogin.gif" /> </form> </div> and following css Code:
.centrehack { margin: 0 auto 0 auto; }
#content { width:960px; text-align:center; height:100%; overflow:visible; background:url(images/headerback.gif) repeat-x; }
#header { width:960px; height:47px; text-align:center; }
#topRightLogin {
width:450px;
height:47px;
float:right;
color:#fff;
font-weight:bold;
font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
border:#000 solid 1px;
height:30px;
display:block;
padding:0;
}
#topRightLogin input,submit {
display:inline;
padding:0px;
margin-left:5px;
height:21px;
margin-top:0px;
}
i want to display form fields and submit button in a single line with perfectly aligned horizontally. but the form fields are showing empty area above them and going down than the submit button. the problem remains same in all browser. i am attaching a screenshot of the problem as well. any help is much apprecated. thanks Hi, I have pictorial buttons that really are <a href's></a> with img buttons in between. When viewed in IE i get a bluish/purple box around my buttons. I want to eliminate the link marking around the images. How do I do this? Thanks for all and any suggestions. Melroy Hi Everyone, I have a problem trying to position a submit button on a search form. The button is an image saying "go" and I am trying to move the button down by a few pixels using CSS. Whenever I use margin-top:3px; the textfield is also moved down although I am using a class on the button of "goButton" (see code below). I want to be able to move the button only. CSS code: Code: #searchField {display:inline;}
#goButton {display:inline; margin-top:3px;}
.goButton {margin-top:3px;}
HTML/PHP code: Code: $output = '<div id="searchField"><span class="white">Search</span><input name="searchword" id="mod_search_searchword" maxlength="20" alt="search" class="inputbox'. $moduleclass_sfx .'" type="text" size="'. $width .'" value="'. $text .'" onblur="if(this.value==\'\') this.value=\''. $text .'\';" onfocus="if(this.value==\''. $text .'\') this.value=\'\';" /></div>';
if ( $button ) {
$button = '<div id="goButton"><A HREF="javascript:document.searchForm.submit()"
onmouseover="document.searchForm.go_but.src=\'/silence/templates/rhuk_solarflare_ii/images/goOver.gif\'"
onmouseout="document.searchForm.go_but.src=\'/silence/templates/rhuk_solarflare_ii/images/go.gif\'"
onclick="return val_form_this_page()">

WIDTH="19" HEIGHT="19" BORDER="0" ALT="Go"
NAME="go_but" class="goButton"></A></div>';

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. P.s. How do I post links to the site on here?...I tried but it removed the URL saying (URL address blocked: See forum rules) I am developing a website using CSS. I have created a navigation bar and associated styles. In each of the 4 menu drop downs, the third item has an extra border that stretches beyond the width and is in about the center of the item. I have reviewed, tried this, and tried that but cannot find out why the extra border occurs. If someone could help, I would appreciate the help a great deal. You can find the developing website at tamp.trustedtechpro.com and the css at tamp.trustedtechpro.com/styles/ff3.tamp.css Thanks. Maybe I should be posting this as a reply - this is an UPDATE: I used the WC3 Validator and it found an outright error in my code. So, gosh - ignore the posting below! And, uhm, I think I'll be using that handy-dandy WC3 tool more often.... ---------- Okay - I am a CSS dope - I've been using tables and antiquated code for a long time. I'm putting together a dummy site, just for testing, and I'm trying to postiion things with DIVs, etc. Be gentle - I'm 59, and, not that damned smart... I installed Dreamweaver and have been fooling with that as it has a lot of templates with proper CSS, tips, etc. But I've never used it before, so that's another learning curve. So, I have a page on which there are some DIVs and, in one, there is an extra space - and, an extra bottom border line - in Internet Explorer. I'm not fond of IE, but that isn't the point - a lot of people use it.....and I need to know why this is happening. Here's a link to an image of what it looks like in Explorer - the line at the bottom is absent in Firefox and Chrome: Screenshot The page is just the index page at: GuyMerritt.net The CSS files looks like this: Code: body {

At the rate I'm moving, I'll be dead before I ever figure this stuff all out! If anyone could explain what's causing this I would be very grateful. And why do so many things render differently in Explorer (from Chrome and Firefox)? Thanks again, Guy Merritt, Flint, MI Hello, after a few hours I managed to identify the CSS element responsible for this problem. However so far I have no solution on how I could solve this problem. Basically the problem is very minor but still frustrating. I am using the following command to set a DIV element with transparent background; Code: filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient (gradientype=0,startColorstr='#60ff0000', endColorstr='#60ff0000'); The DIV element becomes transparent. However the parent element - which is set with the CSS attribute overflow:hidden - is always displaying an extra pixel on the right of the container. This might not be clear at first, which is why I attached the following screen shot. (the light red line is the extra 1px I am referring to) If I remove the transparency CSS attribute for IE8 then this extra 1px will disappear. However that means loosing the wanted transparency. I have also developed the following example of the problem; Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

Does anyone know what's causing the problem and how I can solve it. It is true that 1px might not sound much. But it still frustrates me knowing that it is there and the fact that on Firefox all works great. basically if i add a border around a button in FF i can click the button however the effect of "pressing" a button is lost.. IE mainatain this! is there a solution or will i have to live with it? I've been trying to setup a basic template for a site. In firefox I got it looking pretty good, but in IE there seems to be about 3 pixels of extra space to the left of the header image. The url is: http://igocity.aoeex.com/ If you look in firefox, you can see the black box where the login form is, and the banner image to the right of it are side-by-side with no space between them. This is what I want. In IE, there is about 3 pixels of white space between the login box and the banner image. This causes the image to drop down below the login box instead of it being beside it normally. For now, I've expanded the width of the outer div so they are side by side, but with the space. I can't figure out why this space is there, or how to get rid of it. Any suggestions? The HTML for the header looks like so: Code: <div id="headerDiv"> <div id="loginBox"> <form method="post" action="/login.php"> <input type="text" value="" class="txtUsername" name="txtUsername" /><br /> <input type="password" value="" class="txtPassword" name="txtPassword" /><br /> <a href="login_help.php" class="loginTroubleLink">>> login trouble?</a> <input type="submit" value="log in" name="btnLogin" class="btnLogin"/> </form> </div><img src="images/road_trip_banner.jpg" width="540" height="80" id="headerBannerImage"/> </div> CSS can be seen at: http://igocity.aoeex.com/css/template_css.css Hi guys, I'm having a problem with spacing beneath my image. I have an image at the bottom of a div. When I change the display to block, the space below still remains. When I place the image as a background inside my div it doesn't display. Any help with either or both of these would be great. The page is located he rhodyandcrystal.com/staging/party.html The div on the right has an image as a bg and the div on the left has the image located at the bottom. I just did this so you could see both, and that they aren't working. Thanks again for any help! Duke i have a div named #main that contains #content(float:right), #sub(float: left), and #footer(clear:both). In IE, #main's background color doesn't stretch all the way through #footer, even though a bottom border applied to #main displays below #footer. So there's a space between the background and the border! #main's background is brown/grey, and botom border is 1px green. What gives? http://www.nomadicamedia.com/temp/ Anyone know a trick to get a submit button to display on the same line as an input field and not have it drop. My issue is that it is either pushed down a few pixels, or up a few pixels, as if something is padded. Code: <form action="#" method="post">
<span>Join our mailing list</span>
<input type="text" name="email" value="your e-mail address" class="v-email" />
<input type="submit" value="" name="submit" class="btn" />
</form>
In the above example, the submit button is pushed down a few pixels as if it is padded. In Firefox however, it is pushed up a couple pixels. How can I get it to display inline perfectly. Assume that the styled button and the input field are the same height. IE 6 and 7 are adding a black border around my input type="submit" It's honoring my CSS sheet but then deciding to add its own border. Weird. I googled this already and tried every solution out there including the two span styles method. Nothing worked. Here is my .html code... <input type="submit" class="btn_small" onmouseover="this.className='btn_small btn_small_hover'" onmouseout="this.className='btn_small'" name="submit" value="ADD"> Here is my .css INPUT.btn_small { padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 2px; padding-right: 2px; padding-left: 2px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; cursor: pointer; font-face: verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 9px; font-weight: bold; color: #333333; background: url('form_button_small.jpg') repeat-x; outline: none; border: 1px solid ; border-color: #CC9900; height: 20px; vertical-align: middle; } INPUT.btn_small_hover { padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 2px; padding-right: 2px; padding-left: 2px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; cursor: pointer; font-face: verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 9px; font-weight: bold; color: #333333; background: url('form_button_small_over.jpg') repeat-x; outline: none; border: 1px solid ; border-color: #CC9900; height: 20px; vertical-align: middle; } Here's the code. Code: <div class="entry"> <p>Blah blah blah</p> <div class="postmetadata"> <div class="hide"> Blah blah blah </div> Blah blah blah </div> And the CSS. Code: #content div.post div.entry {
float:left;
margin:-5px auto auto 6px;
width:570px;
font-size:12px;
line-height:20px;
}
#content div.post div.entry p {
margin:0;
padding:0;
background:white;
}
#content div.post div.entry div.postmetadata {
margin:10px auto 20px auto;
font-size:11px;
line-height:19px;
border-top:1px solid #bcbcbc;
}
#content div.post div.entry div.postmetadata div.hide {
display:none;
}
Apparently I have to set background:white; to the #content div.post div.entry p for div.postmetadata's border-top to appear in IE7. Firefox and IE8 displays this correctly. Any ideas? |
