CSS - Background Color Does Not Work As Expected In Ie6
The site I'm working on is at http://www.konkito.com
I'm trying to fill the background of the "View Cart" link. For some reason, the background color just doesn't fill up the height of the navigation bar in IE6. Please have a look and point out what I'm doing wrong. Regards. Similar TutorialsHello, Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here. I am trying to alter the background of an input using css. It seems to work in IE but not in fierfox. Below is the sample code. Thanks. Code: <head> <style type="text/css"> .container{ width: 610px; height: 300px; border:solid 3px #59813a; } #format1 input{ background-color: purple; width:75px; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="container"> <form id="form" name="form" method="post" action="index.html"> <table> <tr> <td >Last Name</td> <td ><input type="text" name="name" value="enter name" class="size1" /></td> <td>name</td> <td><div id="format1"><input type="text" name="name" id="name" /></div></td> </tr> </table> </form> </div> <!-- container --> Hi all, I am trying to do something that I think is trivial, but just cannot seem to get this to work in IE! I am trying to draw an IFRAME that contains a gray background that contains a document that has a white background. The result is supposed to make the scrolling document in the IFRAME look like a white piece of paper with a gray border of 8 pixels. This works perfectly in Safari and Firefox, but no matter what I try, I cannot figure out how to get this to work in IE (IE8 specifically). Here is the code: PHP Code: <iframe name='monkey' src='poopy.html' scrolling='auto' frameborder='0' style='background-color:gray;width:500px;height:150px;'></iframe> And the document in the IFRAME is trivial PHP Code: <div style='padding:8px;border:1px solid black;background-color:white;'> This is a bunch of txt THis is a bunch of txt ... (repeat this text a bunch so you have a scrollbar) </div> As far as I can tell, IE implements the background-color attribute for IFRAMES, but it seems to ignore the color - either that or its whacked-out box model requires some kinda bizarre workaround that I cannot find. Thanks in advance for the help. -- Jon Hey Guys! I'm going absolutely bonkers trying to find out how to change the color of the background of a certain element on my site. I installed Vanilla forums on my site and am trying to customize the css script. If you look at the page, you will see an annoying white in the body. I am trying to make the background of that #F6F6F2. Could you guys possibly put me in the right direction? Thanks!

I want them both to be of the same height. (3) How can I do this? Plz Help! I have pasted the style codes for the 3 tags below.

I'm a new user of this great forum, my name is Dwight and I'm a student on the "Graphical Lyceum Amsterdam" where I follow the education for "Multimedia Designer". Ok so now you know me a little, I'll start off asking my question. Question: I have to change the layout for a html page that askes for information from different asp pages, but that's not my problem . The problem is that I have to make some td's a different color -the background that is- but the problem is that I can't change the html page itself (it is automaticly generated and I don't have permission to change it). So my question is can someone tell me how I can change the color of some (not all!) td's with CSS without making classes? Tnx, Dwight Having an issue with the background color in a div. The color shows up in I.E. but not in Firefox. I have a div with a width of 100%. Inside the div is an unordered list with two list items. Here is the css: div#nav { width: 100%; margin: 0; background-color: #EAE9E4; } #nav ul {margin: 0; padding: 0; } #nav li { list-style: none; float: left; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 15%; font-size: 11px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap; } Essentially this will be a navigation aid below the banner of the webpage. The list items will contain anchors which will appear as "buttons". The containing div extends to the end and I want it to have a background color. Any help appreciated. Hi, I am trying to apply a background color to an item other than the body but I cannot make it display in IE 6 or 5.5. I have tried applying it to both <div>'s and <p>'s. Does IE not support the background-color property outside of the page background? I've been trying various fixes with my template, so that the grey background color in the sidebar, extends beyond the content to the bottom of the page. Alas... nothing is working. Here's my code: Code: #l_sidebar { color: #cccccc; background-color: #3a3a3a; width: 160px; float: left; float: left; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0 15px 15px 15px; } #l_sidebar p{ margin: 0px; line-height: 16px; padding: 0px 0px 5px 0px; } #l_sidebar h2 { color: #ffbfea; font-size: 18px; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Sans-Serif; font-weight: bold; list-style: none; padding: 10px 0px 10px 0px; margin: 0px; } #l_sidebar ul { list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px 0px; } #l_sidebar li { list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } #l_sidebar ul li { list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 5px 0px; } #l_sidebar ul li a { color: #c04080; text-decoration: none; } #l_sidebar ul li a:hover { color: #c04080; text-decoration: underline; } #r_sidebar { color: #c04080; background-color: #3a3a3a; width: 160px; float: right; position:relative; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0 15px 15px 15px; } #r_sidebar p{ margin: 0px; line-height: 16px; padding: 5px 0px 10px 0px; } #r_sidebar h2 { color: #ffbfea; font-size: 18px; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Sans-Serif; font-weight: bold; list-style: none; padding: 10px 0px 10px 0px; margin: 0px; } #r_sidebar ul { list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px 0px; } #r_sidebar li { list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } #r_sidebar ul li { list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 5px 0px; } #r_sidebar ul li a { color: #c04080; text-decoration: none; } #r_sidebar ul li a:hover { color: #c04080; text-decoration: underline; } What is wrong with this?

URL: joelwyant.com I want to be able to add a page to the site during the Christmas season. To make it standout more, I'd like that specific page to always have a different background color in the navbar than the other "normal" pages. I have the CSS for the navbar style, but I don't know where to begin to make it specific to just that one page. In other words, how do I create CSS that overides the normal navbar background color for just that one specific page? Any thoughts, suggestions, or guidance is much appreciated! Joel I am using a Wordpress template called Arthemia Premium. I want to change the background color in the headline section, but nothing "sticks" when I change the hex color codes in the style.css. Tell me what to post here and I will. Thanks BTW I have very basic knowledge of CSS Hello all, When viewing in IE my background is dark red like it's suppose to be. When viewing the same site in Firefox the background is white. Firefox is not seeing that portion of code within my CSS file. Can someone shine some light for me? Thanks in advance!! Please help I need Please send me a message for URL. For some odd reason Dev won't allow me to post a link to my site for you. I want to display text when I hover over certain areas of an image, so I am using an image map, no href, and assigning the text using ALT=. As a result, the text shows up as a tooltip. It works great except that the background color in the tooltip box is a very dated yellow color that looks inconsistent with the rest of my page. Is there any way to change the background color? (I am trying to avoid scripts because I've never used them and don't really have time to learn how, at this point) Thanks, Beth With IE, the background of SELECT elements is not respecting the CSS file setting. But IE does respect the CSS for the INPUT element. Netscape 7.1 and Mozilla Firefox work correctly for SELECT and INPUT. Here is a snippet from my stylesheet file: SELECT { FONT-WEIGHT: normal; BACKGROUND: beige; COLOR: darkgreen } INPUT { FONT-WEIGHT: normal; BACKGROUND: beige; COLOR: darkgreen } I have tried #FFFFD8 and #F5F5DC as alternatives to the name "beige" for the SELECT entry. Result is always white. Yet my text boxes show properly as beige so I am confused about why that name is ignored for SELECT elements. Note that I can change the entry to something basic like BACKGROUND: yellow and that displays correctly (but I don't want yellow - I want beige - like the INPUT element). These SELECT and INPUT elements are always in some table such as: <td class=genericinputleft>Starting Date<select name=dd1 etc. Could there be a cascading problem in IE ? Here is the CSS: .genericinputLeft { FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: x-small; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; text-align: left; vertical-align: top } I have tried commenting out the BACKGROUND entry from the class above but that does not seem to help. Thanks. Can someone look at my site at http://www.personalhurricanecenter.....com/index.php? using Internet Explorer? The problem is that on the initial load, the background of the main section (white in the middle) is fine, even though I had to drop the padding to 3em. You'll notice if you minimize and then maximize the window, resize it, or click on the "submit" button on the upper-right (which will redirect you back to this page) that the background turns blue. If you scroll down, then the lower portion is white. If you scroll back up, the background miraculously turns white again. But the section that remains visible during scrolling stays blue. Also, you can select the text in the blue and then deselect it and it'll be white! This does not occur in Netscape or Firefox. Can someone tell me what in the world is the deal? I've spent a week getting this layout set so I can move on and it's holding me up. Thanks. Tim P.S. I have my background color set to blue in the body section of my css, and the main background color set to white. Those are the only bg color configurations (except for link options). My page works great in firefox, but in IE the top navigation div (top_navigation) SHOULD have a background color of red for testing perposes, but the color doesn't change! It looks like its inheriting the background color #e4dfd7 from the css body tag. I've tried using an inline style, or using !important, nothing works, and I have to make this available in at least IE6 and up. Thanks in advance for any help! html code -> cosmosristorante dot com / ox / index.asp I have this transparent png image and it looks great on a web page when you put a background color on it. the only transparent part is the border, the rest is white, so the bg color is really for border. When you go to print it, however, printers dont normally show bg colors Is there some way how I can force printing the the bg color when the user prints the page? (I know some times u can configure that on their printer but I don't want them to have to do anything. ) Howdy, Okay, this is driving me nuts...i have the background-color set the same for the header and the footer, only the header is displaying darker than the footer.

I have three "buttons" that are essentially <div> elements on a page made to look like a button.
