CSS - Page Background-color Issue...
Hi there,
I have two problems with the display of my website in different browsers. The first is when you view my site, http://www.tophatweddings.co.uk in FireFox. In IE 6 the white background extends to the foot of the content. However in Firefox you'll notice it doesn't and the left, central and right columns all finish at different levels. How can I get the white background to behave in the same way as IE? My second issue is with IE7. Now, some people might actually download and install this "browser" - those poor people. Anyway in IE 7 you'll notice the footer just decides to display halfway through the page because I guess some CSS has changed in this version of IE. Does anyone know what this could be? Help with either of these issues would be greatly appreciated and reputation points award to those who post helpful answers. Thanks - Similar TutorialsHi Everyone, I'm new to Dev Shed so appologises if I miss anything vital! I'm also quite new to CSS, but do have some experience. I am trying to develop a rounded corners, drop shadow solution for a header: Here it is so far, now the problem occurs when I have added the navigation bar, if you roll the mouse over any of the nav links a small chunk of border appears on the bottom right of the header?? The hoover div tag is: a.nav:hover {background-color: #99CDFF;} The nav images are gifs that do not change on rollover just the back ground color. If I remove the hover div tag the strange chunk of border does not occur. Can anyone advise why this may be happening? Or what I could do to improve this? I am having this issue in IE6.0 firefox 2.0 seems fine. I appreciate any help! Thanks in advance, Jon Look at this page - http://certified.tmhdesign.com/about.asp I have a div called container, then in that div one called header, content_right, content_left, and footer. What is frustrating me is that I have to hard code a min-height for the left and right colums and if you scroll down you'll see where the background color of the body appears below the right column which I want to be white. When I specify the color of the container that does not fix the issue. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Can anyone give me an idea why the color for the background of the Wordpress site I am revising the css script shows up 2/3 the color I want and the top one third is remains the original color. There is no "wrapper" option to revise. This is the 3 lines that seems to determine those changes.. *************************************** body { background: #180033 url (1-default/bodybg.png) repeat-x top; } a { color: #9BCB65; } a:hover { color:#180033; } *************************************** Could the problem be "repeat-x top;" ???????? Big thanks to anyone who offers help. Hey, I use div's to create my page structure (you can see it on the screenshot) http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/...tructurege3.jpg The green part is the navigation and the blue part the contents of the page. But as you see the colors both dont fill up till the bottom of the document. And if i set: height: 100%; then it will fill up to the bottom, but when the contents gets to big and a scrollbar is needed, then the part that you scroll down is not filled up with the colors anymore. Does anybody know how to fix this? Thanks in advance. 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! Here is a link to my page: shipswatchdotcom/forum/vanilla/aaa.html Here is the css script: Code: #Body { margin: 0; width: 99.9%; position: relative; background: #F6F6F2; } #Head { background: #B8D4B8;

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; } #page { background-color:#FFFFFF; position:relative; width:770px; } 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? 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 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 i wanted usersto choose their own style sheet by giving them different links like red, green, blue which will take them to different layouts or background color page. the problem was that worked only for that particular page but if they click on any link or menu from that page it will take them back to the default color. is there any way that i can set so that their choice will stay throught their surfing ? any thoughts ? hanks 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've been going over it with a fine-toothed comb, but can't find the problem. here's the site and here's the css; Code: /* Graphix Plus V 4.0 Styles */ h1 { font-family:arial; font-size:16px; font-color:#006696; font-weight:bold; } h2 { font-family:arial; font-size:14px; font-color:#006696; font-weight:bold; } body { padding:0px; margin-top:0px; background-image:url(images/bground-pattern.gif); background-color:#FFFFFF; font-family:arial; font-size:12px; color:black; text-decoration:none; text-align:left; border: 1px solid #E5E5E5; } .contentarea { background-color:#FFFFFF; padding:6px; border: 1px solid #E5E5E5; } .flankers { background-color:#C6C6C6; padding:4px; border: 1px solid #E5E5E5; } .header { background-color:#006696; padding:4px; background-image:url(images/gp_v4_header.gif); background-position:top left; background-repeat:no-repeat; } a.mainnav:link { font-family:arial; font-size:12px; color:black; text-decoration:underline; } a.mainnav:visited { font-family:arial; font-size:12px; color:black; text-decoration:underline; } a.mainnav:hover { font-family:arial; font-size:12px; color:#006696; text-decoration:underline; } /* MAIN MENU LIST STYLE BEGINS - UL class = 'NAV'*/ ul#nav, ul#nav ul { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; width: 100%; border-bottom: 1px solid #E5E5E5; background-image: url(http://www.graphixplus.com/images/no-pic.gif); background-color:#C6C6C6; } ul#nav li { position: relative; } li ul { position: absolute; left: 99%; top: 0; display: none; background-color: #006696; } ul#nav li a:hover { display: block; text-decoration:none; color:#E5E5E5; background-color:#006696; } ul#nav li a { display: block; font-family:arial; font-size:11px; text-decoration: none; color: #006696; padding: 1px; border: 1px solid #E5E5E5; border-bottom: 0; } /* Fix IE.

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'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; } 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. I'm working on an assignment for an introductory level html/css class. The assignment asks me to change the Window Background color to 666666. How do i do this? So far i've only be able to change background colors of element tags, which is not what i need. This was the Example give for this particular step. Edit: i tried to link a picture for a visual. For some reason its blocked to new members. Any help would be appreciated. Hi, I have a simple table <table id="sometable"> <tr> <td> <a href="link1">link1</a> <td> <a href="link2">link2</a> </table> with a style sheet table#sometable {width: 100%;} table#sometable a:hover{background-color: #A9A9A9;} What I want is on a hover the whole cell changes color, not just the link. How can I do this? Also should I be using a table in the first place? Thanks Colin 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 Hello, I have been trying to figure this out, but have been unsuccessful. I am using a modalPopupExtender, but when the popup comes up, my background is still active. I suspect it has to be something in my css file, but would appreciate some help on this. I suspect it is the css that is causing this, but cannot figure out what. TIA! Here is the code for the MPE: <cc1:ModalPopupExtender ID="MPE1" runat="server" TargetControlID="btnShowModalPop" PopupControlID="divPop" BackgroundCssClass="modalBackground" PopupDragHandleControlID="panelDragHandle" DropShadow="true"/> Here is the code in my css file: .modalBackground { background-color:Gray; filter:alpha(opacity=70); opacity:0.7; } .modalPop { background-color:Gray; border-width:3px; border-style:solid; border-color:Black; padding:0; width:250px; color:White; } .drag { background-color:#ff0000; cursor: move; border: solid 2px white; } I found the issue by referencing a blank css file and slowly adding statements in. It was a combination of the following which prevented the backgroundcssclass to not be shown propertly: #body div div { background: url(images/body_tr.gif) top right no-repeat; } #body div div div { background: url(images/body_bl.gif) bottom left no-repeat; } #body div div div div{ background: url(images/body_br.gif) bottom right no-repeat; } #body div div div { background: url(images/body_bg.gif) bottom left no-repeat; } #body div div div div { background: url(images/body_bg.gif) bottom right no-repeat; } #body .inner div { background: none; } I ended up add these bg imgs in my master page div tags directly and is working fine.....for now :P Edit/Delete Message What is wrong with this? I can't seem to see any of the background colors in Firefox or Camino? I have tried setting the background color in the body, and by enlosing the rest of the elements within a containing "main" div... but neither seem to work. Any ideas? What is wrong with this? I can't seem to see any of the background colors in Firefox or Camino? I have tried setting the background color in the body, and by enlosing the rest of the elements within a containing "main" div... but neither seem to work. Any ideas? http://buffalonationsmuseum.ca Right now the property is just "background" but I have tried... background-color: 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). |
