CSS - Need To Cut Down Or Hide The Upper Portion Of An Image Using As A Background?
I m wondering if any body help me out regarding style sheet..
I m using an image as a background in a column of a table... I just want to display the lower portion of tht image while using it as a background..and cut down the upper portion...how can i achieve this in css style sheet? Code:
<table width="800" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"

<tr>
<td width="800" height="258" STYLE="background-image:
url('Images/mega/mega.gif');background-repeat:no-repeat"></td>
</tr>
</table>
Similar TutorialsHello. Currently my site is all CSS. I know tables are terrible to some people but should I use a table for this portion of my site? Or should I wrap each member into a div then another dive for the image/postion and another div for name/description? Basically its just for the team members photo and description. It think I'll end up with a ton of divs so I think tables might be better. (unless there is an easy way to do it with limited amount of divs and CSS?) I'm trying to determine the best way to design a UI for a PHP application. There is a header portion with menu choices and a footer portion. There is also a background image 'picture frame' that sits in between the header menu and footer and gets loaded depending on the user's preferences. None of these three scroll. Within that picture frame, there is a center screen with a scrolling application. This portion would load different screens based on what was picked as a menu choice, and the user would scroll in the application if the particular screen were longer. Is the best way to do this using frames, or is there a better choice in terms of speed, browser compatibility, etc.? Thanks for your suggestions. I guess I dont know what this technique is called so it was hard for me to search for an answer. The best example I can give is if you go to Dells website or any other site where you can build a computer and as you scroll down there is that box that always stays in the upper right hand corner that displays the price. Is that possible in CSS? Could somebody give me the name of the technique so I can try looking for mulitple answers or show me how its done? Thanks, Dave I am really racking my brain here I know this will end up being a simple fix but after creating this for a few hours straight, I just can't see it. Ok here's the page and the situation... myspace[dot]com[slash]daggersanddiamonds My links at the top of my page are sliced fine and the links do work (in explorer) but somehow in Firefox, they are being hidden by some invisible layer that extends about 800ish pixels in width that hides the clickability. As you can see, the first half portion of "Add to Friends" works but the rest is disabled, and part of the "Vimeo" link works, but not totally.. and ofcourse the middle links are totally dead to click. My question is, whats hiding these links? Any help is super thanked! I am trying to figure out how to nullify all of the previously set CSS styles in a portion of a page. Then, be able to set new styles to affect just that portion. The situation is this: Using a Wordpress theme, I have a single article that I want to be formatted completely differently than normal. However, there are css styles for things like <body>, <td>, <blockquote> etc (lots of them) that I already set in the theme itself. I don't want these theme-defined styles to affect the article portion, for this article only, and only for the article portion of the page. Is this possible, other than by re-declaring all the css values that are set in the theme? 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. I am converting my news system from tables to pure CSS. So far its going great, and I'm almost complete except for one problem; Each post has a category, and the category image is displayed in each post using "background-image" in CSS. Although it somehow comes back in the background of each link within the <div> (in Firefox). I have attached an image of what I'm talking about. Here's the html (simplified): Code: <div class="games"> <div class="newstoryinfo"> <h2>Topic goes here</h2> </div> text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text and so on... </div> Here's the CSS Code:
.news {
background-image: url("/img/topics/1.gif");
background-color: transparent;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 10px;
}
.news div {
text-align: justify;
margin-left: 1ex;
margin-bottom: 10px;
padding-left: 60px;
padding-right: 5%;
line-height: 1.6em;
}
.newstoryinfo {
padding-top: 5px;
color: #888;
font-size: 11px;
font-family: "Lucida Grande", Verdana, Geneva, Lucida, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
Can someone please tell me how to make links in the "text text text.." area display with a white/transparent background? Thank you! In my css I have the following to set up the height and width of the page to 100%: Code:
html, body {
font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif;
color: #000000;
background-color: #E1E1E1;
margin: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
For my website I have the following layout: Code:
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="menu"></div>
<div id="main"></div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</div>
</body>
How do I get the <div id="main"></div> to fill in the remainder of the window height, without setting its height to 100% and them causing scroll bars and throwing the footer off the page. 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. Hey all, I'm trying to make some links using the normal list method, and have the link class leak the image. Right now nothing is showing up...no text, no button/image...nothing. It's rather baffling to me, because I have pretty much the same code working on a different page. I can't see anything that would cause this. I would very much appreciate it if you have a look at my code and see if you can see something I missed. CSS: Code:
.box1{
width:900px;
height:700px;
background-image:url(bg.jpg);
}
#links{
width:853px;
height:31px;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align:center;
line-height:0;
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
text-decoration: none;
text-indent: -99999px;
font-size: 0.0;
line-height: 0.0;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
#links li{
float: left;
list-style: none;
}
a.link1{
width:185px;
height:31px;
display:block;
background-image:url(bg.gif);
background-position: 592 25px;
}
HTML: Code:
<div class="box1">
<ul id="links">
<li><a href="#" class="link1" title="Job Description">Job Description</a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="link1" title="Home">Job Description</a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="link1" title="Home">Job Description</a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="link1" title="Home">Job Description</a></li>
</ul>

Thanks much 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(!) 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? Hi there, Was wondering if anyone had a solution with what I am trying to achieve if at all possible. I've been playing with a drop down that opens onclick with pure css. What I am trying to accomplish to have the dropdown close automatically when pointer is not on the dropdown menu. I know this is possible with jQuery but get this, I am trying to accomplish this in pure css. My code is below which is pure css which again works onclick to open the 2nd tab. Again, I am trying to achieve an automatic close behavior such as with a hover but not by using the hover class or javascript. <!doctype html> <!-- paulirish.com/2008/conditional-stylesheets-vs-css-hacks-answer-neither/ --> <!--[if lt IE 7 ]> <html class="no-js ie6" lang="en"> <![endif]--> <!--[if IE 7 ]> <html class="no-js ie7" lang="en"> <![endif]--> <!--[if IE 8 ]> <html class="no-js ie8" lang="en"> <![endif]--> <!--[if (gte IE 9)|!(IE)]><!--> <html class="no-js" lang="en"> <!--<![endif]--> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <!-- Always force latest IE rendering engine (even in intranet) & Chrome Frame Remove this if you use the .htaccess --> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1"> <title></title> <!-- Mobile viewport optimized: j.mp/bplateviewport --> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <!-- All JavaScript at the bottom, except for Modernizr which enables HTML5 elements & feature detects --> <script src="js/libs/modernizr-1.7.min.js"></script> <style> div.items ul:not(:target) {display:none;} div.items ul:target {display:block;} .tabs { float:left; clear:none; width:200px; height:30px; border:solid 1px #cccccc; padding:10px; background:#000000; } a { text-decoration:none; } .tabs a { float:left; margin:8px 5px 5px 5px; color:#ffffff; } ul { width:222px; float:left; clear:both; padding:10px 0px 10px 0px; margin:-8px 0px 0px 222px; line-height:35px; list-style:none; } li { border-left:#cccccc solid 1px; border-right:#cccccc solid 1px; border-bottom:#cccccc solid 1px; } ul li a { margin-left:15px; } </style> </head> <body> <!-- Start Tabs --> <div class="tabs"> <a href="#">Dashboard</a> </div> <div class="tabs"> <a href="#item2">Data & Reports</a> </div> <div class="tabs"> <a href="#">Data Archives</a> </div> <!-- End Tabs --> <!-- Start 2nd Tabs Content --> <div class="items"> <ul id="item2"> <li> <a href="#">Sales By Device</a> </li> <li> <a href="#">Delivery</a> </li> <li> <a href="#">Revenue</a> </li> <li> <a href="#">Sales By Purchase Type</a> </li> <li> <a href="#">Data Archives</a> </li> </ul> </div> <!-- End 2nd Tabs Content --> </body> </html> 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 Hi, not sure if it is possible but i thought it may be possible in CSS... I was wondering: * I have a shopping cart (using JS) * A CSS based Navigation which is "View Shopping Cart" * An form button called "Add to cart" ** I want the CSS based Nav, to be hidden, until the user clicks on the form button, then it is visible, so that the user can click on it... Anyone know how this is done??? Cheers Jackson |
