CSS - Ie6: No Background-image Allowed On <tr>?
Hi all
I just wonder why IE6 (and I guess previous versions, too) does not allow a background-image on the <tr> tag of a table? Code: tr {
background-image: url(...);
}
This does just delegate the background image to the child-td-tags, it's not really displayed on the tr tag! So the following works in Firefox, but not in IE6: Code: tr {
background: transparent url("red.gif") bottom left repeat-x; /* A 50*50px image */
}
td {
height: 100px;
background: transparent url("blue.gif") top left repeat-x; /* A 50*50px image */
}
Firefox displays the table cells as expected with red bottom (on the tr tag) and a blue top (on the td tag). IE6 only displays the blue top. Is there a clean hack for this? Or do I have to help myself with additional tags (e.g. a div within the td)? Thanks for help Josh Similar TutorialsThe 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? 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! 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'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 This may be a pretty vague question, so I'm sorry in advanced. But I'm working on one of those recipe websites that you get as an assignment during school. Everything seems to be working, like adding comments, writing up recipes, etc. But for some reason, I'm having a huge issue with apostrophes. Whenever I want to add a comment to a recipe that involves an apostrophe in any way, it says "Sorry, there was a problem with your comment." I mostly want to know why this happens on websites instead of getting the direct "this-is-how-you-fix-it" answer, because i've seen this happen on other websites. I am looking for a robust drop down menu solution. Javascript is fine for controlling the functionality but the items must be positioned with CSS so that they are SEO. At the moment we have full javascrip menu's but the links don't get picked up by the search engines as they are encapsulated. I have tried the suckerfish stuff and it's a nightmare to be honest. Horrible to customise and very difficult to get a result you actually want. Hi, I was just wondering whether it is valid to use the following names in CSS for classes or ID's Code: .class1 .class2 #id3 #id4 Are alphanumeric names allowed? 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 So I have a myspace, and I like things neat and compact. And I like filling out lots of long surveys that most likely no one will ever read, and posting them on my myspace. But when I do that, my page becomes very long and I don't like that. So my idea was something like this: There would be a series of links across the top that would correspond to the various surverys and/or other content that I deem necessary to share with the world. The many users who visit my page looking for more details about my life click on the link of their choice. The box below all the links shows that particular survey. They read it all, and of course want more, so they click the next link. And poof, a new survery shows up right where the other one was. Compact and efficient. I've seen sites use a slightly similar system before, often in the help/faq sections. You find the topic you need help with, click on it, and it pops up below it. However I'm pretty sure they used javascript, which isn't allowed on myspace. ("Security" or some other overrated matter). Therefore I would have to do it with CSS. I was thinking have each survey in a different table, all absolute positioned in the same place. Then when you click the link, either all the rest get visibility turned to not visible, (and that one turned to visible), or perhaps the z-index is changed. However I'm not sure you can do that in a link, especially without javascript. So I may need to find an alternative. Unfortunately, I'm not very good with CSS at all, and I'm also not very creative in problem solving. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could implement this system without javascript or using other pages? (I just get my one little myspace homepage, although I guess I could cheat and use blog pages too. But then all the other blog crap like comments would show up on it). I apologize if this has already been covered, I tried to look through the more recent posts for something similar and found nothing, and I wasn't really sure what to search for, since it isn't really something concrete I'm working with. I don't necessarily need code, mostly just ideas right now. Thanks in advance to anyone who helps, and if you don't know what I'm talking about/thought it was too long, tell me and I'll try to clear it up or shorten it up, respectably (and respectfully, as it were). PS. My myspace account, if you care and didn't already guess, is www.myspace.com/mynameismolotov. Althought it's basically empty right now. Hi! Let's say I define this: #gaga.baracuda {......} #haha.baracuda {other info....} Is this allowed? 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've got a <td> that contains a background image, a horizontal rule. I've defined this style this way: Code: td.columnHead {
background-image: url(grafix/content/content_guide_top.gif);
height: 19px;
width: 229px;
}
Now I've defined h2 this way: Code: h2 {
font-family: Impact, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 16px;
color: #6A283E;
font-weight: normal;
background-color: #EBEBE0;
padding-right: 8px;
}
Now here's the HTML: Code: <td class="columnHead"><h2>REQUIRED READING</h2></td> My intention is to have the table cell show the text against a plain background (as specified in the h2 style). Then, starting 8 pixels to the right of where this text ends, I want to see the background image. What happens is that the background image is completetly obscured on the h2 line. Then a new line in the <td> is created, and there I see my background image. This is in spite of the height of this <td>, which I've set at 19px. You can see an example of this here . Any suggestions? If I set the BG image in the css for the Header Div it of course will be the same BG image in the Header Div's on all pages. I am working on a website on which I want a different BG image in the Header Div on each page of the site. Just elinminating the BG image in the Header Div css will of course allow me to add different & individual photos in the Header of each page. But, that doesn't solve my problem. The image in the Header needs to be a BG image so that I can place text over the image. Any and all help would be appreciated. im redoing my website to try and make a version of it that is more clean because i got sloppy and fixing up sloppy code for me is alot harder than just starting over. i havent been working on my site for a few weeks or too much scripting in general so i might be making a dumb mistake, heres my problem http://mrsako.gotdns.com/newest.php this is where im making the newest version of my site, its going to be using css you can view the html if you want, you can see i included <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css" /> inside it some of the lines include a class im making for a <td> of the table Code:
.topbarTD{
border-style: none;
border-width: thin;
padding:0;
height:187px;
max-width:1024px;
width: expression(document.body.clientWidth > 1024 ? "1024" : "auto" );
background-image:url("images/banner.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
text-align:right;
vertical-align:bottom;
}
which sort of works. the text align attributes applied to the page as you can see the text get put on the bottom right and also theres a blcok of space showing theres 187px there where the image would be, but its not showing up, mrsako.gotdns.com/images/banner.jpg DOES exist this is the table Code: <table class="container" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td class="topbarTD" colspan="2">should be here</td> </tr> <tr> <td rowspan="2"> <img src="images/leftspace.png" width="165" height="472" alt=""></td> <td> <img src="images/topspace.png" width="859" height="95" alt=""></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <img src="images/mainspace.png" width="859" height="377" alt=""></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <img src="images/bottombanner.png" width="1024" height="107" alt=""></td> </tr> </table> 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. |
