CSS - Div Layer Transparent When It Shouldn't Be In Ie!

Hey everyone. Can anyone tell me why the blue container backgrounds on my development site... http://cmsbase.stealthwd.ca are having a gradient in ie? I'm talking about the news, twitter, main copy etc containers. It's supposed to just repeat the image, but its making the image a gradient from left to right.

Other browsers are fine.

Please and thanks!

I have been having a heck of a time with css and ie.

My current problems relate to ie for Mac.

1. If I have a div I can't give a % for vertical-align, the table cell that
the div is contained in is effected by expanding vertically way beyond
acceptable. I removed the % and used a text value and have to deal with the non-alignment.

2. If I have a div float right and text that is align right, the div is
shoved way to the right off the screen. I have to scroll to see the div,
and the div is the only thing over there. I removed the text align right
and the div is in the right spot.

* The un-workedaround conundrum **************

3. I have a TD with padding like this 6px 6px 6px 100px and an img float right, or in the html align="right". The img has a margin or padding on the right of what looks like 100px instead of the 6px. The text in the TD is right and the padding on the left of the img is right.

It works fine on all other browsers except ie 5 on Mac.

If anyone has an answer, or a workaround, for for this that would be awesome!

Hello

I thought I could make it, but what I got so far is jumping over the screen, so please a need some help.

I got a image with two transparant shapes.
Behind those shapes I would like to show 2 other images.

|-------1-------|
| |-----| |----| |
| |...2..| |..3..| |
| |____| |____| |
|_____________|

Image 1 should be on top z-Index
Image 2 should under image 1, a part of the image should be visible.
Image 3 should under image 1, a part of the image should be visible.

Now the issue, image 2 and 3 should be dynamically replaceable.

Please help

Thanks

Dear all,
I am really stuck on this.
I cannot use an alternative, I have to use png.
I must have transparency. As you know, IE6 doesn't 'do' transparent png.

I have tried three different hacks and I cannot get any of them to work.
I am a good traditional developer, but fairly new to web development.
Terribly frustrated that I don't seem to be able to get even one of these hacks to work.

Please do you know the link to a page that has an easy to follow png hack for IE6 that you know to work? At this point, anything goes, as long as it works!
Best
Jo

Ok so I have a vertical menu, with menus that pop to the side... it looks fine in every browser except IE. For some reason, the pop up menus become transparent in IE.

Relavent CSS:
#nav, #nav ul {/* 1st level ul */
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
list-style: none;
float: left;
background-color: #000000;
width: 130px;
}

#nav li {/* 1st level li */
position: relative;
color: #ffffff;
font: bold 12px arial;
padding: .3em 0em .1em .3em;
border-top: solid 1px #ffffff;
}

#nav li ul {/* 2nd level ul */
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
list-style: none;
position : absolute;

background-color: #CCCCCC;
}

#nav li ul ul {/* 3rd levl ul */
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;

top: 0px;

Hi,
I'm trying to create a transparent background for the main text part of a site. I have the following code in the .css file:

Code:

.dataContainer {
	background-image:url('/images/transluscentbg.png');
	*background: none:
	filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='/images/transluscentbg.png',sizingMethod='scale');
	padding:10px;
}

and call it he
Code:

<html><head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/kr.css" />

<meta name="description" content="">
	<meta name="keywords" content="">
<script src="rollover.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

</head>
<body id={$styleName|lower}>
	<!-- BEGIN OUTER WRAP -->
	<div id="bodywrap">
		<div id="logoSpace">
		</div>
		<!-- BEGIN MAIN CONTAINER -->	
		<div id="content">
	        <div id="contentBorders">
			<div id="mainContent" class="clearfix map{$mapNum}">
				<div id="navBar">

			<div id="innerContent" class="clearfix">
				{include file="nav.tpl"}
				<div class="goContent">
                                <div class="dataContainer">
               lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem 
ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum 
lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum 
lorem ipsum 
</div>
</body></html>

This works fine in Firefox, but .dataContainer has no transparent background in IE. HOWEVER! It does work in both IE and Firefox if, instead of using <div> tags, I put the content in a table (<table><tr><td class="dataContainer">).

Anyone have any idea why this might be happening and how i might be able to get the <div> to work?

I am trying to use the IE workaround for PNG transparency (using the alpha filter).

The trouble is it only seems to work on a fixed size image. Is there any way to successfully apply it to a repeating background? I can't seem to find any info on that so I am guessing it can't be done

Ok, I am going to try to describe the best way I can my problem. Hopefully I can be pointed into the right direction. Here is my CSS:

div.background
{
width:850px;
height:1100px;
background:url(images/Sunrise.png) repeat;
border:2px solid black;
margin-bottom: 15px;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-top: 35px;
padding-left:15px;
padding-right: 6px;
/* for IE */
filter:alpha(opacity=45);
/* CSS3 standard */
opacity:0.4;
}

div.transbox p
{
margin:30px 40px;
font-weight:bold;
color:#000000;
}

I have a div.background box with an image and I want it to have a transparentency or opacity of 45. The text that is in my div.transbox p needs to be just like normal but my problem is is that when I view my page in the browser my text is also has a transparentency of 45. Not sure what is going wrong. Would someone be so kind to point me into the right direction?

Thank you,

Diana

Hey all, i'm trying to create pop up note box capabilities. My test example is using digg (dot) com's login box. If you go to the site click on login box will pop up.

And you will see the border around the box has a transparency to it. I've tried emulating it but to no avail.

PHP Code:
<a href='#' onclick="document.getElementById('notepad').style.display = 'block';">Open Notepad</a>

<div id='notepad' style='display:none; top:150px; opacity: 1;'>
    <div class='notepad_body'>
        <div class='notepad_content'>
            Post a Note<br>
            Post a Note<br>
            Post a Note<br>
            Post a Note<br>
            Post a Note<br>
            Post a Note<br>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class='notepad_footer'>
    </div>
</div> 





That is the html to generate the box which works fine... the only problem is the border is solid, then if I change the opacity it turns the entire div box with opacity.

Here is my css

PHP Code:
<style type='text/css'>
#notepad {
    left:50%;
    margin-left:-315px;
    position:absolute;
    width:673px;
    z-index: 100001;
}

.notepad_body {
    background:transparent url(testbg.jpg) repeat scroll 0 0;
    padding: 40px 13px 10px 40px;
}

.notepad_footer {
    background:transparent url(footer.jpg) repeat scroll 0 100%;
    height:23px;
}

.notepad_content {
    background-color:#FFFFFF;
    max-height:900px;
    width:550px;
}

</style> 





Does anyone have a clue on what I am doing wrong or what I can do to make the transparency work just on the border?

Thanks in advance

Hey guys,
I'm going to try an explain my problem as brief as possible. Okay, so, my wrappers/containers aren't showing up with my desired background color properly using Firefox 3. Could you guys look at the code below and possibly help me out? Thanks!

yes my friend has on her site scrollable screen separate from the fixed background but in the code its listed

<style type="text/css">


table, tr, td { background-color:transparent; border:none; border-width:0;}
body {
background-color:91A4F3;


now what would the optional choice of turning the transparent off?
opaque?

i want to make a select box... and attempt to make its background transparent... slightly showing a background image... i have seen this done with search boxes before.

Hello,

I have a transparency applied to my main wrapper so the body area is semi-transparent to allow the background to show through:

http://www.tombraiders.net/katie/index2.html

The images, however inherit this property and I would like them to be normal. I tried making a class within the inner_wrap div with an opacity of 100% but it doesn't work.

I read somewhere that when you use this command it always inherits from the parent (which in this case has the transparency).

Anyone know a way around this? My style sheet is located here

Thanks

I have applied the Twin Helix PNG fix http://www.twinhelix.com/css/iepngfix/ to a site I am building. The fix works on my PNGs apart from the PNGs having an ugly 1px white border around each of the transparent images. I have set the css img tag to the following:

Code:

}
img {
        border: none;
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
}

However. The white borders still appear in Internet Explorer 6. Can anybody think of what might fix this problem? I have been trying to solve it for two days now. Thanks.
