CSS - Background Image And Colour
Is there a way to get it so that if images dont load, then it shows a background colour
I tired using both colour an image, but it didn't work Code: background: url(images/background.png); background:#000000; The reason i'm asking is when i'm at college, i have images disabled, and because i used white text, i have to highlight the text in order to read it Is there a way to do this Similar TutorialsHi. 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; } And the HTML is: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Test Page</title> <meta name="description" content=" " /> <meta name="keywords" content=" " /> <meta name="generator" content=" " /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="page.css" media="screen" /> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <div id="content"> <span class="miniscreen1"> <a href="#"> <img src="img/clip1.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 1<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> <span class="miniscreen2"> <a href="#"><img src="img/clip2.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 2<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> <span class="miniscreen3"> <a href="#"><img src="img/clip3.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 3<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> <span class="miniscreen4"> <a href="#"><img src="img/clip4.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 4<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> <span class="miniscreen5"> <a href="#"><img src="img/clip5.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 5<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> <span class="miniscreen6"> <a href="#"><img src="img/clip6.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 6<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> <span class="miniscreen7"> <a href="#"><img src="img/clip7.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 7<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> <span class="miniscreen8"> <a href="#"><img src="img/clip8.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 8<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> <span class="miniscreen9"> <a href="#"><img src="img/clip9.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 9<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> </div> </div> </body> </html> 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(!) Dear all, I have an iframe of variable width (width="100%") and a fixed height. Within the iframe I show multiple divs containing calendar appointments. Quite often, the number of divs that are side by side causes the iframe to scroll horizontally, which is fine, but when I scroll to the right I lose my background image and colour in the portion that wasnt visible when the page loads. If I reduce the screen size down, and refresh, then expand again, the area of the iframe that appears has a white blank background. Is there any way around this? Many thanks, Mark Hi guys, Is it possible in CSS to change the colour / image of the page background dynamically. So that as you hovered over different links , the background of the page changed. I know you can do this in JS but how would you do it in CSS? I was kinda thinking something like: a.linkname:hover, a.linkname:focus body { background-color:#00FF00; } but thats just a guess and doesnt work lol. Many Thanks, Alvin. Hey Guys, I have validated both my html and css. The only errors that come back for my css is that I have the same colour background and whatnot. BUT that's what I want. So there aren't really errors. Here is my page: jacenta.com/whichsbc What I have been attempting to achieve and been utterly failing is: If you goto the menu on the side and hover over you will see a light grey background show up. Basically I want that to extend to ethier ends of the box. Is there anyway for this to be done??? I've tried everything and I just can't seem to figure this one out. A good example of what I am looking for is in my drop down menu at the top when you select a heading and a dropdown comes down, hover over an item and a light blue background will show up. It's probally something simple... I know. But ahh. It's just so frusterating! If someone could help me out I would apperciate it so much! You all are such a great help. - Jacenta Hi all, the page i am talking about is... http://sydneynightowl.com.au/home.php The problem is the the div 3column seems to start too early in the work flow and also the background colour on the header bleeds. The div and header should be starting after the first 3 divs (which are set to float) I hope i have explain this correctly, any help is apriciated.

Thanks Soph I was wondering on this table I have I want it to have black background colour but I want to change the opacity to where you could see the background image too Hi there, I was wondering how I would go about creating input fields have a different colour background when teh user has clicked on it and ins typing. I tried using :active, bit it didn't work. Any ideas? I have a FAQ web page which has a list of questions at the top which link to the answer for that question (on that page). I have used 'on click' to change the background colour of the div which contains the answer to the question you have clicked on. Code: <a href="#name" onclick="document.getElementById('namediv').style.background='#99ccaa'" >click here !!! </a><br> And this works, but it becomes a problem when i scroll back to the questions and click on another one. It will change the background of the new div as required but I can't find a way to revert the previous div back to its original background color. any ideas? Thanks Hi there, I have a text field which I would like to change colour on hover. Any ideas how I would do this? I tried using a class with a:hover but it didn't work. Thanks! Essentially I'm creating a 'drop-up' menu without javascript. Here is my test page: http://38.99.165.179/kalle/cssmenu/index3.html PROBLEM: I am using 'float: left' to arrange my main menu items horizontally. With 'float: left' it seems like I lose control over the #menu_container background color. It's supposed to be a shade of red. If I delete 'float: left', I regain control over the container background, and the shade of red appears. Why is this happening? This problem doesn't seem to exist if I use 'display: inline' instead of 'float: left', to sort my main menu items horizontally. BUT 'display: inline' causes other issues, and so for various reasons I'd like to try to keep using float: left. Here is my code: Code: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>Test</title> <style> html, body { height: 100%; width: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; background-color: #555555; color: #EEEEEE; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } #top { width: 100%; height: 80%; text-align: center; } /* MENU BAR */ #menu_container { width: 100%; margin: 0 auto; /* doesn't work!!! */ background-color: #CC6666; } #menu { font-size: 16px; } #menu a { text-decoration: none; color: #FFFFFF; } #menu ul { } #menu li { position: relative; display: block; height: 1.2em; margin-right: 50px; text-align: left; /* PROBLEM */ /* With 'float: left', the background color disappears for #menu_container. */ /* Disable 'float: left' here, and you see what I mean. */ /* Why does this happen? float: left; /* The 'float: left' is needed to sort my main menu items horizontally.

I have set the input fields to have a white background, however, in three out of the six textfields the background is yellow (this only happens in Internet Explorer 6). I have checked the CSS, and the yellow isn't included anywhere. If anybody can help I would be grateful. Thanks. Can anyone tell me how to change the background colour of all tooltip texts on a web page? Cheers. I would like the link colour to change and the background of the <li> to change as well. I can't figure out what CSS to use for it though. I have made bold and underlined the li I want to change on hover. Code: <li id="menuitem_2mainnav"> <a id="menulink_2mainnav" class="mainlevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=2">Meetings</a> <ul id="menulist_2mainnav"> <li id="menuitem_2_1mainnav"><a id="menulink_2_1mainnav" class="sublevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=14">TEST 1</a></li> <li id="menuitem_2_2mainnav"><a id="menulink_2_2mainnav" class="sublevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=15">TEST 2</a></li> <li id="menuitem_2_3mainnav"><a id="menulink_2_3mainnav" class="sublevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=16">TEST 3</a></li> <li id="menuitem_2_4mainnav"><a id="menulink_2_4mainnav" class="sublevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=17">TEST 4</a></li> </ul> </li> I have tried: Code: #menulist_2mainnav li:hover{ color:#000000 !important; } But it doesn't change the links text colour. Hi all, newbie here. I have an image I want to use as a background. I want this image to slowly fade to black at the bottom (or blue, or green, or whatever, to be decided later). Can I do this in pure CSS? To be more specific, the image is a relatively small one in the middle of the page, and will fade to black which will continue down the page. Do I need to use javascript/jQuery to do this? Because I'd rather not, I'm not familiar with them and it will probably be too much effort. I have tried making the image transparent and having a background gradient white to black behind it, but that doesn't look right (obviously, since I need 0% transparency of the image at the top and 100% at the bottom). Thanks for any and all help! Is it possible to overlay a colour onto a grayscale image to make it that colour with css? Such as using the alpha channel? Image in question would be a transparent background gif file. 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: 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, 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!
