CSS - Setting The Background Image To A Local File

How can I set a background image as a wrapping element?

Here is what I do have:

graphics/navigation.gif
left top
no repeat

Note that links will be set over the image.

Don't know if I got the language right on the headline? I've got the following css for my forms:
.form table {
border-collapse: collapse;
color: black;
border: 1px solid black;}

and the markup looks like this

<table class="form" width="100%" cellspacing="0">

however when I link a different page to the same sheet I'm getting a table that has been styled with the above scc even though i haven't marked up the class...

any ideas...

thnks for any help

Usually I find anything I need to know if I have the source code of a web site but this time I've lost. Some web sites changes the background color of the browsers address (URL) input field (works only with Gecko type browers I think).

Just one example: https://www.gmx.net (a commercial email service provider in Germany).

How can this be done?

Ciao, Meph

I'm trying to combine
Code:

a img

and
Code:

a:after

So I'm trying to set :after for links that have images in them...I have no idea how to do it.
This doesn't work:
Code:

a img:after

This doesn't work either:
Code:

a>img:after

I'm not sure if its my browser's lack of support for CSS again or just me.

I'm wondering what's the word is called for setting the image width and height in CSS

Code:

img.test
{
    <<What's the keyword??>>: 10 px;
}

Thanks,

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.

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:

Here's the relevant 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:

/*
 *  Page Stylesheet 
 */
body {
  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
  background-color: #eaeaea;
  border:0; margin:0; padding:0;
  height: 100%;
}
a:link {
	text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited {
	text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover {
	text-decoration: none;
}
a:active {
	text-decoration: none;
}
#container {
	margin-left: auto;
	margin-right: auto;
   	min-height: 100%;
	width: 936px;
}
* html #container {
	height: 100%;
}
#content {
	float:left;
	position: relative;
	height: 528px;
	width: 936px;
	z-index: 0;
}
.miniscreen1, .miniscreen2, .miniscreen3, .miniscreen4, .miniscreen5, .miniscreen6, .miniscreen7, .miniscreen8, .miniscreen9 {
	position: absolute;
	float: left;
	display: block;
	width: 312px;
	height: 176px;
}
.miniscreen1 {
	top: 0;
	left: 0;
}
.miniscreen2 {
	top:0;
	left: 312px;
}
.miniscreen3 {
	top: 0;
	left: 624px;
}
.miniscreen4 {
	left: 0;
	top:176px;
}
.miniscreen5 {
	left: 312px;
	top:176px;
}
.miniscreen6 {
	left: 624px;
	top:176px;
}
.miniscreen7 {
	left: 0;
	top:352px;
}
.miniscreen8 {
	left: 312px;
	top:352px;
}
.miniscreen9 {
	left: 624px;
	top:352px;
}
.info {
	height: 30px;
	top:3px;
	left: 40px;
	width: 265px;
	float: left;
	position: absolute;
}
.infobar  {
	left:0px;
	position: absolute;
	top: 140px;
	width: 312px;
	height: 36px;
	outline: none;
	color:#000;
	background: url("data/infobar.png") no-repeat 0 0;
	z-index: 650;
}
.infobar:hover  { 
	background-position: 0 -36px;
	outline: none;
	color:#fff;
}
#infobar span {
	display: none;
	outline: none;
}
.clip_title {
	outline: none;
	font-size: 85%;
	font-weight: 700;
	vertical-align: top;
	text-align: left;
}
.clip_sub {
	outline: none;
	height: 13px;
	font-size: 80%;
	line-height: 13px;
	font-weight: 700;
	vertical-align: top;
	text-align: left;
}

There must be a better (and easier?) way to do this. 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?

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 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!

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

Greetings -

My site has a slightly complex structure -- 7 areas over a background image, and the background resizes to fit the browser size. (oldWithoutMoney dot com)

What I'd like to do is create a print.css file that omits the background image when the site is printed.

Can anyone provide sample stub code or point me to a useful tutorial?

And where is the print.css file supposed to reside? public_html? public_html/style? wherever the relevant .htm file is?

Thanks kindly.

- Richard
