CSS - Text And Images Won't Cooperate...

I put a fairly large image and centered it using.

Code:

background: #484747 url(img/main.png) fixed;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;

That put it exactly in the center in all browsers (that I have). So working great so far. I then want to load a button on top of that image (like just a button) that says "Enter"

So I make a button and I go through everything until I choose absolute and giving it percents to be exactly where I want it. I refresh the page and boom its there, I move the webbrowser height, use a different browser and its broken badly. What do people recommend using? Like relative and padding or what? Since what I'm using right now only works for my setup.

Hello...

My name is Matt and I'm looking for some help with what could be simple CSS coding.

I designed an image using Adobe Photoshop and I plan on uploading it to my website. What I want to try do is make this image after I upload it, to a like certain table. I wasnt sure what the terminology would be for this. I want my image to be the text area instead of using a large textarea code I want the image to be the text area where the text will scroll up and down within the image. I dont want my image to be the background. specifically I need the image itself to be the scrolling text area.

Can anyone help me out with this coding? Or steer me in the right direction of terminology for this?

I'd appreciate it...

Thanks

I'm trying to position some things inside a DIV. Here's the basic layout:



What I did was put them in DIVs position them within the "parent" DIV relative to the upper left. Doesn't seem to work, so I'm doing something wrong.

Image One is easy, but the text and Image Two I just don't seem to grasping.

I've looked at the Floatutorial, I'm not grasping it, or the answer isn't there.

Should the text block and Image Two be within a separate DIV?

I would like the align text next to the image and have it flow from the top down. Not adjacent then underneath it.

Once you view the html file, I think you get a better picture of what I'm talking about.

Seems a simple question, but how do I add padding to text within a box but not affect the images?

in my columns I have little 'features' but I have a title above each image and some description text below. What's the simplest way to code it so all the text has side padding, but not the image?

Hello everyone,

I wanted to ask, how to place a text over a rollover image. Most ppl recommend to set the image as background in table or div tag, but that would prevent to make the image a rollover. To put it simply, I want to create an effect, I have seen e.g. at ehow.com When you place your cursor on a button in the menu, the text gets underlined. When you place your cursor on a button in the submenu ("Browse How Tos"), the text gets ubderlined AND the image changes. Is this somehow a combination of rollover text and image? My question basically is: HOW DO YOU CREATE SUCH AN EFFECT?

Thank you for your replies,

I am displaying a list of users on my site. Each user has a picture with some text below. I want to display this image+text block" and I want it to wrap like text.

I made inline div and tables with these elements but it seems to wrap arbitrarily around the page.

any suggestions?

Hi,

I have put off using css for a long time and now i need to figure it out. I am using a free template to learn with. My problem is at the bottom of the page I have 3 small images in a row across the bottom of the page. Theoretically 3 columns across the bottom with text next to each image.

I have played with it for four hours now and give up. Currently the images show but the text runs through the three images.

Here is the css relevant code i believe:

Code:

/* hotstuff */  #hotstuff { 	width: 100%; 	background: url("hotstuff_bg.gif") repeat-y; }  * html #hotstuff { 	padding-bottom: 10px; }  #hotstuff h2 { 	background: #3b2000; 	border-top: 1px solid #fff; }  * html #hotstuff h2 { 	width: 100%; }  #hotstuff .imagebox { 	padding: 2px 8px 2px 13px; 	margin: 2px 0; 	background: 4px no-repeat; 	float: left; 	width: 200px; }  #hotstuff #hot-one   { width: 180px; } #hotstuff #hot-two   { width: 140px; margin-left: 2px; } #hotstuff #hot-three { width: 120px; margin-left: 2px; }  * html #hotstuff #hot-one   { width: 290px; width: 180px; } * html #hotstuff #hot-two   { width: 250px; w\idth: 140px; } * html #hotstuff #hot-three { width: 230px; w\idth: 120px; }  #hotstuff h3, #hotstuff p { 	margin: 0 0 0.2em 0; }  * html #spacer { 	margin-top: 8px; }

I am using of course that the html #hotstuff, 1 , 2 and 3 respectively is for the text but i may be wrong. Any help would be appreciated to help me understand css more.

Thanks,

I'm working on something in PHP, which will be pulling articles from a database. I want to be able to place images on the page in the same exact spot for every article, and have the text wrap around the images regardless of where paragraphs begin and end. Is there anyway to do this with CSS?

(I could do something where the person writing up the article enters a paragraph, and the image that goes with that paragraph, and do that multiple times, but I'm really hoping to just have a form where the person enters the article text in one block, and uploads the 3-4 images, and doesn't have to do anything more complicated than that, and then when the article is output on the page, it just plops the four images on the page where I say they should always be, and the text just wraps around that. Hope that makes sense.)

Hi,

I want to create a page where users can advertise using templates overlaid with their own text. Many of these templates are cascaded forming a montage effect (left to right, top to bottom). I figured this could be done using CSS or PHP. Here is the CSS version.....
User enters data in form (subsequently stored in database) User chooses background image (80px by 80px) CSS used to style the text with the chosen image as a background.....in a sized container.
I know this can be done and have achieved it with varying levels of success, but am unsure as to the best method.

Q1 - What would be the best tag or container to use? The text will be used as a link and must display text when 'hovered' over. Should the text be inside <a>, <li>, <div>, etc etc. I don't know which is best for this purpose.

I know the <acronym> tag can be used for 'hover' text, but besides misusing a tag, it's not supported in Opera (so far as I can see) and is displayed differently in firefox/IE.

Q2 - What is the best method of displaying additional text (in multiple browsers) on 'hovering' the link; could I use a 'hidden' div (which is set visible on hover) rather than a tag property, and if so, how could I make it work for links at the edge of the screen (will the layer appear offscreen)? Not sure how to do this?

Thanks for your time, all responses greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I've always made my menu buttons with the text built into the image but is there a better way to do it?

Thanks for the help.

Wow I REALLY hate CSS. For hours I have been trying to figure this out:

Here is some HTML
Code:

<td>
    <div class="linksbar">
        <div class="linkstext">
            link - link - link - link
            <img src="imagelink.jpg">
            <img src="imagelink2.jpg">
        </div>
    </div>
</td>
[CODE]

the CSS
[CODE]
.linksbar {
    height: 28px;
    background-image: url(bg.jpg);
}

.linkstext {
    vertical-align: middle;
    line-height: 28px;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: white;
}

First problem: in Chrome, the text rests at the bottom of the div. I want it in the middle.

Second problem: in IE it looks like a mess. The text is sort of in the middle (more towards the bottom). the image links are at the very top. The image link height is like 20 or something.

Hi,
I'm a begginer in css and html, I've started a webite but the text is not where I want it to be and the Image is where I want it but only because of the text ...
So I would like somone to help me with this ^^

Hey guys, what I'm trying to do seems simple but I can't seem to figure it out. I have a wordpress blog and am formatting the text, I've used line-height, line-spacing and letter-spacing because I want to make it readable. Now what I'm trying to do is align the width of the paragraphs to the images or at least to the widge of the post container which is 585px. I changed the width to 585px and it that didn't help. My site is (havenhart[dot]com) and as an example, see (oneaboveone[dot]com) that site has the text aligned to the image, or atleast te container width. Can anyone offer any resources on how to do this?

Thanks.

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
