CSS - Good Technique To Get Border Images Around Content
Sorry about the vague description, but I'm wondering how to achieve an effect like the ones on this page:
http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=/196/196.css&page=0. I've seen the effect on many other websites, but I can't find them at the moment. On the page the content div grabs your attention effectively because its borders make it pop out from the background. How are the border images and divs setup to achieve this effect? Similar TutorialsI have a website like shmah: Code: <div class="wrapper"> <div id="leftframe"><img src="./intro.gif"></div> <div id="content"> <div id="header"><?php include("header.php"); ?></div> <div id="content"><?php include("content.php"); ?></div> <div id="footer"><?php include("footer.php"); ?></div> </div></div> And the corresponding css like shmah: Code: #wrapper { text-align: center; } #content { width: 700px; margin: 0 auto; } #header { width: 700px; margin-bottom: 5px; } #content { width: 700px; min-height: 400px; } #footer { width: 700px; margin-bottom: 50px; } #leftframe { position: absolute; left: 50%; margin-left: -600px; } table.table-in-the-content-area { width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border: 0px; border-spacing: 0px; } The issue is that the content div (the table contained therein) appears shoved off to the right in Firefox. When I set Firefox to use the border-box model, it centers correctly with the rest of the divs. IE and chrome don't have this problem. Any ideas where my weird margins may be coming from? Thanks! hi, i have created a simple css layout and its displaying correctly in google chrome, firefox, IE 6 and IE 7. However, IE 8 is covering the 1px border on the left of the containing div section with the image contained within the logo. I tried adding a 1px padding and margin which only served to push the image over the right hand side border in IE 8. Does anyone know whats causing this issue? Here is my code below. Thanks in advance. First, the HTML code:- 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'> <head> <meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' /> <meta http-equiv='Content-Language' content='en-us' /> <link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='css/default.css' /> </head> <body> <div id='page'> <div id='logo'> <img src='gfx/siteLogo.jpg' alt='Our Website Logo' /> </div> </div> </body> </html> Now the css file:- Code: /* page structure definitions */ html { font-size: 100%; } body { margin: 0; padding: 0; /* 20px */ padding-top: 1.25em; padding-bottom: 1.25em; text-align: center; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; background-color: white; /* 16px */ font-size: 1em; } #page { margin: 0; padding: 0; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; /* 900px */ width: 56.25em; /* 1px */ border: solid black 0.0625em; background-color: #ABBAD9; } #logo { margin: 0; padding: 0; /* 900px */ width: 56.25em; /* 150px */ height: 9.375em; } #logo img { margin: 0; padding: 0; /* 900px */ width: 56.25em; /* 150px */ height: 9.375em; } The image in the logo is 900px * 150px. I've been working on getting a nice look to fit the body of my content in, but I'm having a little difficulty. Based on some tutorials and things I have read, it seems many people do this technique by applying background images to various tags. I know it has a set width. However, the height may vary depending on how long the body copy is, which is where the problem arises. I have it broken into three images (top, bottom, left_right) It seems to display properly in IE7. However, in Firefox, the top and bottom images do not connect with the left_right image. I've tried setting margins and padding for top/bottom to 0 as I thought that may be the issue, but it didn't fix it. Can view files at: http://www.russellholloway.com/beta/test.html http://www.russellholloway.com/beta/main.css I'm pretty new to working with CSS, so if there are any other errors that may arise from the way I have coded this, please let me know. I intend to position the whole content-wrapper div in a floating layout for the site. Essentially there will be menus / such to the left, logo / stuff above, and this body content area will be in the remaining space. CSS copied below: css Code: Original - css Code .content-wrapper { padding: 0; margin: 0px; position:relative; } .content-wrapper .footer { width: 710px; background:url(content_bottom.jpg) no-repeat bottom; padding: 0; margin: 0px; position:relative; min-height: 34px; } .content-wrapper .heading { margin: 0; background-image: url(content_top.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; width: 710px; padding: 0px; height: 35px; position:relative; } .content-wrapper .heading h3 { position: relative; top: 20px; left: 20px; } .body { background-image: url(content_lr.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-y; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 20px; width: 670px; position:relative; margin: 0px; } .content-wrapper { Hello, I can't seem to find a solution across the web to such a simple problem. I want to have a border surround my main container, composed of simple images that fade into the background. Here's a mockup image. And here's what I'm working on. As you can see, I have a simple jpg repeating vertically for the side border effect, but how can I get the top and bottom correct? I tried some empty div's with my top and bottom background images but just can't seem to get it working. Also, keep in mind that the width is fixed but the height is not. Thanks. Sitewide, I have a bottom border affect, rather than an underline for links. But it applies itself to linked images as well. I have borders shut off on images, but that doesn't stop it from applying the border. I've tried img border:none; and a few other tricks, but it only does the trick in Chrome. CODE: a { text-decoration: none; } a:hover { text-decoration: none; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; padding-bottom: 2px; } img { border-width: 0px; } img a { border-width: 0px; } img a:hover { border-width: 0px; } I have an imaged logo on top of my page that I want to link to the startpage. However, whenever I link the image, I get the typical border that signalizes a link. How can I get rid of this border with the help of my Stylesheet? It seems like I can't even change the color of the border in IE?? Thanks a lot Steve Edit: Never mind -- searched before posting and did not find anything, but after I posted, there it was... Used {border:0;} on the img tag -- voila... I tried to play around with my code to see if I could get a image of a bar and its two ends on the top border of the div containers and have text on it. But this is what I have so far and its not working! Code: .preview {border 1xp solid black; background-color: white; } .preview .innerdiv{ background: transparent url(css/bar.png); position: relative; left: 2px; top: 2px; padding: 1px 4px 15px 5px; } } I have a web page that I am going to give to a someone that will give me something if I get it done in a week so I want to get this hard to figure out proplem out of my way so I can get more done faster. Your help will be most thankful! I want something like this to help get a better understanding what I want. http://www.quake3world.com/forum/portal.php Firefox is putting a gray border on most of my images. The border is sometimes on the bottom or off to the right. If I add padding to the images sometimes the border will go away. The images are not links. I have basically covered every option in CSS to eliminate the problem with no prevail my CSS: Code: body img{ padding: 0; border:none; -moz-border-radius: 0; -khtml-border-radius: 0; -webkit-border-radius: 0; border-radius: 0; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0 #000; -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 0 #000; text-decoration: none; outline:none; overflow: hidden; } Hopefully someone has encountered this before or has some information to help? I use the following CSS for my links, and use a border-bottom to give them a dashed underline... Code: a { color: #AC4870; border-bottom: 1px dashed #DDDDDD; text-decoration: none; } a:hover { color: #DDDDDD; border-bottom: 1px dashed #AC4870; text-decoration: none; } This underline also shows up under my images that are used as links. How would you write CSS that would remove this dashed border-bottom from my image links? Thanks I was looking for the best way to implement rounded corners for my website and its been difficult evaluating the different methods and deciding which way is the best way to go. So far the mountaintop method looks the most promising. The idea is to create a transpatent gif with the corners of the image as a white mountain shape. When you make this the background of the CSS div, the color of the background offsets and creates the image of rounded corners. I am having a small issue implementing that as well, for example, ive created two images one for the top and one for the bottom, but I am not quite sure how to implement it as you cannot specify two background images per CSS div. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks for reading my question. I went to http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ to see how I was doing on my CSS. Seems I'm doing ok. I am just having problem with the Scrollbar portion. What is the proper way of doing this? Here is my result from the validation Quote: Errors URI : file://localhost/kelly.css * Line: 0 Context : #info Property scrollbar-face-color doesn't exist : #ffac11 * Line: 0 Context : #info Property scrollbar-highlight-color doesn't exist : #ffac11 * Line: 0 Context : #info Property scrollbar-shadow-color doesn't exist : #d4940e * Line: 0 Context : #info Property scrollbar-arrow-color doesn't exist : #b12514 http://www.websitedev.de/css/validator-faq says a bit about it. Just wondering if Any of the scrollbar stuff is allowed, and will be validated? Thanks, Brad All, I have a header on this page backup.whiteslimo.com with 3 images inserted into it listing the company name, service, and contact info. My problem is that when they are displayed there is a thin white border on the bottom and right hand sides of each image. But the image doesn't have these borders. If you are in Firefox/Mozilla and you right click on the individual images and select View Image, you will see that the image itself does not have these borders. I am thinking that somewhere along some attribute is being added that is causing this but since I am a CSS neophyte (This is still my first week lol) I am not sure. Any help is much appreciated. Does anyone have any idea what could be happening to my main menu - it dissappears in Safari! Hobo I am using this: http://alistapart.com/articles/cssdropshadows/ for use on a gallery. Each image it is applied to is in a table cell. However, because its floated left, it floats to the left of the table cell even though I have cent the text-align to center This problem just started happening, but frustratingly I can't remember what I was changing when it started happening. The problem is that (almost) all the images on the site seem to be "bumped" 1px out of place, with a black border showing on the top and left hand sides of the images. This is not showing up with ALL images, however. I've embedded an image and you can see the effect on the logo, on the graphics in the body text, and on the sub-menu items (with the 'empty' box icons). However the effect does not occur on the menu items with the 'full' box icons. OK, apparently, I CAN'T EMBED AN IMAGE. Or a link to an image. Or a link to the site in question. SO I have no idea how I am actually supposed to get help for this problem. If someone can PSYCHICALLY DEDUCE what the problem might be without being able to view the site or an image of the problem, that'd be ACE! GAAAAH Alright, let's see if we can do this with JUST the CSS & HTML. Here is the CSS: Code: html { margin: 0; padding: 0; min-height: 100%; height: auto; } body { margin: 0; padding: 0; background-color: #FFFFFF; background-image:url('background-index.gif'); font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #666666; min-width: 900px; min-height: 100%; } img { border:0; } a:link { text-decoration: none; color: #0096db; } a:hover { text-decoration: underline; } a:visited { color: #00abc7; text-decoration: none; } #header { width:900px; height:80px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: #0096db; } #logo { float:left; width:140px; margin:0; padding:0; } #head_nav { width:760px; position:relative; float: right; background-color: #ebf9ff; height: 80px; margin:0; padding:0; } #clear_both { clear:both; } #sidenav { float:left; width:100px; padding-left:10px; padding-top:0; margin-top:0; } #content_wrap { float:right; width:760px; background-color: #ebf9ff; background-image:url('content-background.gif'); } #content { float:left; width:500px; } #content h1, h2, h3, ul { padding-top: 15px; padding-left: 15px; } #content p { padding-left: 15px; } #focus_box { width:260px; float: right; margin-top:0; padding-top:0; } #focus_box h1 { padding-top:15px; } #focus_box p, h1, ul { padding-left:15px; } table.blue_highlight { border-bottom-width:1px; border-bottom-style:solid; border-bottom-color:#0096db; margin-left:15px; margin-right:15px; padding-top:15px; padding:0; margin:0; } #menu2 { float: left; width: 200px; } #main { float: right; } p { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; color: #666666; } ul { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; color: #666666; } h1 { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: 700; color: #0096db; } h2 { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color:#666666; font-weight: bold; } a:link { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: none; color: ; } /*!!!!!!!!!!!

This would be a lot easier if I could show you a picture of what was going on. Hi. Have created some simple tabs using table cells. Active tab should have bottom-border color equal to page background-color. Non-active tabs should have bottom-border=black. Works fine in IE, but does not work very well in Firefox. If I remove the border-collapse:collapse on the table, then firefox also work... but I would like to be able to keep the 1px border between each table cell. So is there a way to make this work in both IE and Firefox... and hopefully most other browsers...

It had to do with the DIV's CSS's border-style. If you set it to double then you notice some random bugs with it. Some of the time, the border is displayed without a problem. Some of the time, it is displayed with some gaps in the line as if it is not being drawn upon. Some of the other time, it is not displayed at all. I noticed if I switch from one tab to another then back, the border appeared as if nothing had happened. I also noticed that if I open the view source that overlapp the web browser then closed it, the border appeared as if nothing had happened. How do you fix that problem? Thanks... I would like to set up a table with a different border than the cells inside it. Here's my code: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <style type="text/css"> TABLE {border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse; width: 200px} TD {border: 1px solid #ccc} </style> </head> <body> <table> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> That's all hunky dory in (gasp!) IE, but good browsers...they only show the lighter gray color. How do I get the table border to be different? Hi, This used to be my solution: Code: <table border=1 bordercolorlight='#CCCCCC' Bordercolordark='#FFFFFF'> But this only works well on IE - not Mozilla Now I want to use CSS: Code: .results { border: 1px solid #CCCCCC ; } Code: <table class='results'> --------------- The problem is, with CSS, only the TABLE acquires the border property. The cells within it don't. If I specify Code: <td class='results'> for all the cells in the table, this also won't work, because the cell borders overlap each other and some border lines seem thicker than others (because of overlapping). Is there any simple way I can specify the border property for the table - in ONE declaration? I want the table and td borders all to be a simple 1px width ...is that possible in one declaration? Thanks a lot! |
