CSS - Sizing Object With Background Image
Help I just can't get this thing to size. I've tried all sort of stuff This is so simple I must be missing something obvious.
Here is what I want: on the left the rss feed link. to it's right the legend link with a button background behind it. I've gotten stuff like this to work before so I must be missing something. Here is what it does: The RSS feed link is fine, but the problem is the bg graphic is truncating and I want all of it to show. It also cuts it off in the vertical direction. Here is the current code (may change again by the time you look at it though!) Code: <a href="rss/calrecent.rss" ><img src="images/feed-icon-14x14.png" height="14" width="14" alt="rssfeed" border="0" /> Calendar FEED </a>
<span id="lar1" style="background: url(images/leg-button.gif) top left no-repeat; height: 31px; width: 183px; " ><a href="#" onclick="return dynpop('genrelegend',600,700);" style="text-align: center;"> Legend</a> </span>
I tried putting the background on the <a> element and setting its size with a style. and making it a#lar1 but that didn't work. So my latest try would be to size a span element. Here is the style of lar1 span#lar1 { height: 31px; width:183px; } Here it is in situ http://demo.tixrus.us/calendar.php Thanks I know I've made this kind of thing work before so what stupid thing am I missing in my blindness and frustration?? Thanks, and the one who answers will probably be Kravvitz but anybody can take a swing at it. GO SOX! Similar TutorialsIs there any way to scale the size of a background image? I know there probably isn't but I thought I would ask. I would like the background image of a div to be a gradient that scales in proportion to the size of the div. I've thought about doing this using a expression type css rule where I have a backround DIV rather than it being the background of the div but older ie 5.0 doesnt seem to like those. Any thoughts? Let me know if you would like me to explain more.... Yes I know IE has a gradient filter but id rather not use Proprietary code So my code works fine in webkit(Safari/Chrome), and it almost works in Firefox. If you want to try it out for yourself, just make sure you use a large image, like 500x500 pixels or larger so you can see what I mean. In the tutorial I watched they were able to make it work in Firefox, and the video is almost 1yr old, so it should work. Code:

Isnt it annoying when you have created a fantastic design with unordered list menus, its looks very fantastic then you open it up on someone elses browser and the design breaks because they have increased/descreased the text size through the browser. One alternative to this is to use text sizes that prevent modifying the text size through browser. However, this doesnt FIX the problem, it only prevents it which means old lady wont be able to read your site. My main problem is the fact that I have background images and when I increase text size, the text increases, but the background images to steatch with the content. Anyway to fix this? Hello, I have my XHTML code in CSS to insert an image at the top like this: Code: <div id="award">
<img src="images/award.gif" alt="Year Award" />
</div>
#award
{
position: absolute;
top: 30px;
left: 400px;
z-index: 99;
}
When I resize my browser this image just changes its position and moves across the page. And all my content is set to auto margin on left and right. How do I make it fix into a position and wont change during resizing or the browser? I'm trying to make up a thumbnail page that shows pics in a row at a constant height. I don't want the images distorted so the width will vary. I tried: Code: img.proj_thumb {border-style:none; height:75px; width:auto}
Ths worked on mylaptop, but fails on the server - see the attached pics. Any suggestions? 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! 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.

Any help would be very-much appreciated - and save an old bloke from tearing too much of his hair out(!) If you've done anything with Google Maps, you'll recognize this is the DIV that the Google Maps JS plops the map object into: Quote: <div id="map_canvas" style="width: 870px; height: 500px"></div> In this case, I've set the map to be 870 by 500. There are a number of approaches to branding a custom Google Map application involving layer objects in the Google Maps API, that will allow you to drop an image onto the map itself. But for several reasons, I would like to not use those. Instead, I was thinking of positioning an image over the map object with CSS. But I'm not sure how to do it. Imagine a DIV that contains the map object, and a DIV that holds an image layer on top? Something like that? Can this be done, and if so, can someone point me in the right direction? 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'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 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 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 Is there a way to get IE to display an element's size properly when the element contains another larger element within it? OK, so I have two divs. Div1 has a height of 150px. Div2 contains an image that is 200px which I want to "overhang" below the first div's bottom border. So my code looks roughly like: Code:
<div id="one" style="height:150px; background-color: #EEEEEE;">
<div id="two" style="float:right; position:relative; top:115px; margin-right: 15px;>
<img src="someImage.gif"/>
</div>
</div>
Firefox displays this properly, maintaining Div1's height at 150 and pushing Div2 down so that it hang's over. IE allows Div2 to hang, but it resizes Div1 to be 200px. How can I stop IE from expanding the height to be larger than what I define it to be, even if a child element is larger? Hi, I have a page that works fine in opera, but for some reason screws up in IE. It's a basic container div, with 2 main divs inside this, one a column to the left, the other filling up the remaining space. In Opera, I insert this second div and all is fine. In IE, however, my once square container div is suddenly stretched several hundred pixels down. The easiest thing is to show you: CSS: Code:
