CSS - Browser Text Sizing And Background Images
Isnt it annoying when you have created a fantastic design with unordered list menus, its looks very fantastic then you open it up on someone elses browser and the design breaks because they have increased/descreased the text size through the browser.
One alternative to this is to use text sizes that prevent modifying the text size through browser. However, this doesnt FIX the problem, it only prevents it which means old lady wont be able to read your site. My main problem is the fact that I have background images and when I increase text size, the text increases, but the background images to steatch with the content. Anyway to fix this? Similar TutorialsIs there anyway to stop someone from changing the text size with their browser? Before everyone starts shouting "NO DON'T DO THIS!", I don't want to do it for everything. I have some buttons that are created with CSS and lose the formating when the text size is changed. I tried adding: Code: font-size:8pt; but that didn't work. Hi everyone, I've been fixing my blog's CSS issues, and managed to figure out everything expect for 1 thing: If you re-size the browser's window or use CTRL+mouse scroll to zoom in/out, you will notice that the nav menu doesn't follow the rest of the layout, but gets positioned on its own somehow. URL : howtohollywoodvideo dot com Here's my CSS for the layout. Header Logo Nav Menu #header { background: url(images/header-bg.jpg) bottom left repeat-x; width: 100%; float: left; } #header-left { /* For the Logo */ width: 490px; float: left; padding: 5px 0 5px 0; #navigation { width: 100%; float: left; color: #fff font-color: #fff; font-size: 18px; font-family: Verdana; } What is the solution for my problem? I tried position: properties, but nothing could make the menu get re-sized the same way as the rest of the layout. Hello, I have my XHTML code in CSS to insert an image at the top like this: Code: <div id="award">
<img src="images/award.gif" alt="Year Award" />
</div>
#award
{
position: absolute;
top: 30px;
left: 400px;
z-index: 99;
}
When I resize my browser this image just changes its position and moves across the page. And all my content is set to auto margin on left and right. How do I make it fix into a position and wont change during resizing or the browser? Is there any way to scale the size of a background image? I know there probably isn't but I thought I would ask. I would like the background image of a div to be a gradient that scales in proportion to the size of the div. I've thought about doing this using a expression type css rule where I have a backround DIV rather than it being the background of the div but older ie 5.0 doesnt seem to like those. Any thoughts? Let me know if you would like me to explain more.... Yes I know IE has a gradient filter but id rather not use Proprietary code I am working on a site and I have a lot of the design worked out but I am running into a problem. The client wants to two columns. one in the center with a background image and a second off to the side as a sidebar. The second div is working as I want it to so far but the problem is placing the background image on the first div and getting the text to appear on top of it. Any help would be appreciated.

How do create text that has a background AND foreground image? The effect I am after is looking through one image (I already have a transparent one that should work) to see text which is on top of a background image. I figure that these would come into play...but I have not been able to make the right combination of divs, etc., to make this happen. .back { background: url(backsrc.gif) bottom left repeat-x; } .fore { background: url(foregrdsrc.png) bottom left no-repeat; } I don't think this detail will matter, but just in case... I want this appearance for the text of every <td> in a particular table. Thanks, oak island Help I just can't get this thing to size. I've tried all sort of stuff This is so simple I must be missing something obvious. Here is what I want: on the left the rss feed link. to it's right the legend link with a button background behind it. I've gotten stuff like this to work before so I must be missing something. Here is what it does: The RSS feed link is fine, but the problem is the bg graphic is truncating and I want all of it to show. It also cuts it off in the vertical direction. Here is the current code (may change again by the time you look at it though!) Code: <a href="rss/calrecent.rss" ><img src="images/feed-icon-14x14.png" height="14" width="14" alt="rssfeed" border="0" /> Calendar FEED </a>
<span id="lar1" style="background: url(images/leg-button.gif) top left no-repeat; height: 31px; width: 183px; " ><a href="#" onclick="return dynpop('genrelegend',600,700);" style="text-align: center;"> Legend</a> </span>
I tried putting the background on the <a> element and setting its size with a style. and making it a#lar1 but that didn't work. So my latest try would be to size a span element. Here is the style of lar1 span#lar1 { height: 31px; width:183px; } Here it is in situ http://demo.tixrus.us/calendar.php Thanks I know I've made this kind of thing work before so what stupid thing am I missing in my blindness and frustration?? Thanks, and the one who answers will probably be Kravvitz but anybody can take a swing at it. GO SOX! So my code works fine in webkit(Safari/Chrome), and it almost works in Firefox. If you want to try it out for yourself, just make sure you use a large image, like 500x500 pixels or larger so you can see what I mean. In the tutorial I watched they were able to make it work in Firefox, and the video is almost 1yr old, so it should work. Code:

This is not too important but my site (http://www.o0matte0o.myby.co.uk/) Sorry nearly fixed it sorry just gotta work out how to get the background to cover the text aswell Hi all, I'm building my first experimental CSS site, and I'm trying to attain accessibility for the widest array of users. While testing various browser settings, I came across this issue. (I'm looking at the site in IE, as I'm at work. I'll be able to look it over in other browsers when I get home.) When my site is viewed with text set to "Medium," everything appears fine: http://www.flickr.com/photos/251449...in/photostream/ When my site is viewed with text set to "Larger," the text in the middle left section doesn't fit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/251449...in/photostream/ Fair enough. But here's what has me stumped: when the site is viewed with the text set to "Largest," it fits again: http://www.flickr.com/photos/25144998@N00/4997174984/ I've learned alot very quickly in the last week or so, but this really has me over a barrel. Any ideas? CSS Code: body

look here in the middle of the page i want the text to fit inside the box too :S is there a better way of doing this? as you can see, i had to set a bunch of widths and stuff... thanks. 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. hi, i want my browser's background to be the same as MS windows gray... how do i do that in CSS? is there a special color value? or do i have to put some code in my html to make it blend with wndows? thanks! i hope you get to help me on this one! thanks! works in FireFox, page looks the same no matter how u resize the window: http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/3264/firefoxview.png looks bad in IE: http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/8986/ieview.png css: Code: body

IE sets the background colour to include the legend aswell, whereas Firefox sets the background colour to the confines of the border. Ideas welcome and asked for Effective Alternatives also welcomed Hello, For some reason I'm having difficulty with this, I'm designing a page that needs a background image centered even when the browser is resized like on ask.com. I don't need several different background options, just one background. It seems to me it should be simple enough but I'm having one of those nights. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks, Jasontor Is there any way to force a background color to print in all browsers or at least IE & FF? In the past I have just used an actual image; instead of a background color, but I was wondering if there was a 100% sure way to do this. I tried using media="print" and !import - neither of these worked. So if there is a will, place let me know the way. Hi there, hopefully someone can help me out with some background image issues. I simply want a right hand section on my site, where i can fill it with content and it can expand appropriately as per the content and display a top, middle and bottom background image. this is because the style of the site has curved edges, so this will be a top image with the curves, a centre image and a bottom image with bottom curves. here is my code but none of the top or bottom background images show. please help, thanking you in advance. css: #feature { float:right; width: 287px; height: auto; } .featuretop { background-image:url(../images/css/featuretop.gif); background-position:top; background-repeat:no-repeat; } .featuremiddle { background-image:url(../images/css/feature.gif); background-position:center; background-repeat:repeat-y; } .featurebottom { background-image:url(../images/css/featurebottom.gif); background-position:bottom; background-repeat:no-repeat; } html code: <div id="feature"> <div class="marTOP10"> <div class="featuretop"></div> <div class="featuremiddle"></div> <div class="featurebottom"></div> </div> </div> Hi I have a table which i want to add 2 background images too. what i have is. one image with no-repeat at the top. Then for the rest of the table, i want to have a gradient background. Is this possible? |
