Help With Sidebar Background Color	View Content

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;

	}

	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;

Sidebar Background Color Issues

Similar Tutorials

View Content

Hello,

I'm new to this forum, and somewhat new to CSS. I have learned enough about it to find my way around though, and I am still having problems changing one color on a theme. I have a Wordpress blog and am using a free theme I downloaded. It has a right and left sidebar. I would like to change the background color for both sidebars (they are not visually separated except by text). I have tried:

.sidebar
{
line-height: 14px;
font-size: 12px;
background: #C4C2C2;
}

...and that does change the background for them; but it does not extend to the footer. This new color only extends to the bottom of each sidebar content (so that if the blog portion is longer, the old color shows up below the new color).

I have checked every single color in the css file, and I cannot find where this color is defined. Help, please!!

Hello,

I have 2 questions - hope that ok moderator?

First. My sidebar, it bugs me. I would like for it be the same length as the #Maincontent, but It is either to long or to short...Does anybody have a idea for a solution?

Second. I would like to have a picture next to the #maincontent, on the right, from top to bottom, and parallel to it, and a bit out. (Sorry I don't know the correct English term).
Kind of like the lines next to the sidebar - which is a background image for #sidebar.
I already got a background image on body.
Is This possible?

In advance, thanks for any help or advice.

And I can't post url... so here is some CSS:
Code:

html { margin-top: 20px; }

body { padding: 0px;  background-color:#e6e2bf; background-image: url('imgs/bag.png'); background-repeat:repeat-x; background-position: top right; padding:30px; margin-bottom:0px;}

#wrap { width: 850px; height: 500px; padding: 0px;  margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; background-image: url('imgs/right.png'); background-repeat:repeat-y; background-position: top right;}

#maincontent {position: relative; left: 230px; float: left; text-align: left; width: 580px; min-height: 500px; margin-left:10px; background-color:#fff; z-index:2;  }

#header {  background-color: #e5edf2; width: auto; height: 100px; margin-bottom: 30px; top:35px; z-index:3;}

#footer { width: 100%	height: 50px;	margin: 0px auto 30px auto; color: #FFFFFF; background-image: url('imgs/bund.png');	}

#sidebar {position:absolute;  top: 0px;  text-align: left; padding-top: 40px; padding-bottom:200px; width:auto; height:100%;  padding-right:10px; z-index:4; background-image: url('imgs/sidebar_bag.gif'); background-repeat:repeat-y; }

#logo {position: relative; right: 40px;}

Help! Background-color To Td With Css

Hi there people,

I have a question about CSS but before I start off asking this question I'll introduce myself.

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

Hi,

I have made a page using <div> tags.

<div id="page">
<div id="leftmenu">
</div>
<div id="mainarea">
</div>
</div>

My problem is that sometimes, the leftmenu is longer than the main area(1) and sometimes its the opposite- the main area is longer than the leftmenu(2). 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.

(1)

(2)

(3)

#mainarea {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
float:left;
position:relative;
right:0pt;
width:630px;
}

#leftmenu {
background-color:#EEEEEE;
float:left;
left:0pt;
position:relative;
width:140px;

Div Background Color

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.

Css Background Color Not Correct In Ie

Similar Tutorials

View Content

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.

I haven't been working with CSS that long and I've searched for a fix but couldn't get anything to work. I can't get a background color to display in Firefox but it does in IE. Inside my "mainwrap" I have two columns and for some reason when I set my background to white for the "mainwrap" it just doesn't show up in Firefox.

Here's xhtml code:
xhtml Code:

Background Color Of A <div> Link

View Content

I have three "buttons" that are essentially <div> elements on a page made to look like a button. I would like to make the background color change for the button on the "hover" state, but for some reason the only part of the background that changes on the hover state is the area only behind the text.

Here's my code. I'd like the whole background area to change, anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Code:

.prioritycontainer {
width: auto;
float: left;
display: inline;
margin: 0px 0px;
padding: 10px 0px;
}

.prioritybutton {
float: left;
width: 150px;
height: auto;
display: inline;
margin: 0px 20px 0px 0px;
padding: 3px 3px 3px 3px;
background-color: #978047;
border: solid 1px #CCBC77;
color: #fff;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
}

.prioritybutton a:link {
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
}

.prioritybutton a:visited {
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
}

.prioritybutton a:hover {
color: #fff;
background-color: #A19058;
text-decoration: none;
}

.prioritybutton a:active {
color: #fff;
background-color: #A19058;
text-decoration: none;
}

Markup on .html page is as follows:

Code:

<div class="prioritycontainer">
<div class="prioritybutton"><a href="one.htm">One</a></div>
<div class="prioritybutton"><a href="two.htm">Two</a></div>
<div class="prioritybutton"><a href="three.htm">Three</a></div>
</div>

Any help would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Ie: Background Color Inconsistent

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).

Background Color With Div Width

On the main page of my site, I have a "slogan box" with a width set to 40%. This is outlined and has a background color. In IE, it outlines and colors in the blank space up to 40%, the desired effect. But in Firefox and Mozilla, it outlines only up to where the text stops.

Here's the main css behind it:
#slogan
{
border-bottom:2px solid black;
border-right:2px solid black;
border-left:2px solid black;
background-color:#ABAABB;
font-family:comic sans ms;
width:40%;
}

Attactched is the screenshot from IE and firefox.

How can I make it look like it does in IE for all browsers (i.e., what is the correct code?)

Background Hover Color

Hi,

I am trying to set background color on hover for a single table of links, rather than the entire document like the below example shows.

http://www.projectseven.com/tutorials/css/pseudoclasses/

I have tried various ways, I do not want to use javascript for this and I am aware of the way to apply background color to the .td field but this also applys to the normal text not just links.

So my question is how do I apply the background hover color to one table of links instead of the body. Thanks!

Body Background Color

i have a problem dynamically setting the html background color when i initially set it with css.

if i have a javascript function:

function changeColor()
{
document.bgColor = '#FFFF00';
}

and call it when i click a button the background color changes like you'd expect.

but if i initialize the background color like this:

body{background-color: #FF0000;}

and then later call my javascript function to change the background color like before, it doesn't do anything.

what's going on here? and how can i initialize the background color and still be able to dynamically change it?

thanks

Printing Background-color???

Similar Tutorials

OK - I know all about the media="print" attribute. But I don't know how to force a background color (styled in a div tag; ie "background-color: black;") to print when the webpage is printed. I would think this would be a fairly common requirement but have not stumbled upon it.

Also, it probably doesn't matter but I have been using Javascript to add the divs to the page dynamically, so I don't know if that would have any effect. Probably not.

Any help would be appreciated.

Background Color Idea.

I've been trying to figure out how I can use css to make one side of the body one color and the other side another color. For example: if I want the entire left 70% of the page to be white and the right 30% to be black. no margins. it needs to stretch the entire length of the page regardless if there's any content in a div or not. And it need to be fluid. I've been trying everything I know and apparently that's not very much because I can't figure it out.

The link below is what I've tried using a bg image. Hopefull this will illustrate the idea. But I don't want to use a bg image if I don't have to plus the division where the color changes needs to be fluid with the text and I haven't figured out how to do it with the offset percentages. Basically the left side needs to be white as wide or wider as the left column and the right side color can go from that point all th eway right regardless of how wide the browser is. Does that make sense? I think I could do it if it were 50/50 but that's not what I'm after.

Has anybody done this or know how it should be done?
