CSS - Fixed Image Positioning

Using Firefox, the current state of the site I am working looks like I want it to look, yet in IE 6 it does not look correct, surprise. (IE7 looks great). I've tried several things, and I am completely lost as to a solution, I'd love some help, or suggestions, thanks.

UTC Site

Hi everyone,

I have posted here [HTML Programming] because I'm not entirely sure what forum this particular problem should be put in.

I have a fixed menu that I include using php. From looking at the source code I can see that it has definately included the menu. However IE only displays the menu 50% of the time.

I have no idea why. At first I thought it was because I have a javascript animation for it to slide down, but I removed that and I still get the same problem.

To see what I mean please visit twisted-reality.co.uk using IE and refresh a few times.

Firefox, Opera, Safari and Netscape all display the menu fine, but IE feels like it needs to be different.

I'm new to this forum but I hope someone can help

Firefox bug combining absolute and fixed positioning
Hey helpful people.

I am designing a site which has a floating toolbar (position: fixed) with popup menus. The popup menus are using nested lists and position: absolute to display.
JavaScript is dealing with the transition.

The problem is that in firefox alone the fixed toolbar jumps when the popup menus show and hide. Removing either position: fixed or the offset (bottom: 27px) removes this problem. However these need to be present in the design.

Anyone know a workaround? (webpage and css below)

Code:

<div class="toolbar_O">
  <div class="toolbar_I">
    <!-- top page info -->
    <div class="pageInformation cf">

Hello.

So I have this situation (on the right):
h t t p : / / img339.imageshack.us/img339/6958/1stb.png

and when I change my browser resolution, I get this (on the right):
h t t p : / / img35.imageshack.us/img35/3892/2ndhw.png

Is it possible to do that the image wouldn't change the place on a screen even you when change the resolution of the browser? And yes, the image must be behind the text.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions and tips.

I'm attempting to use the Declaration of Independence as the background for my site. It is much longer than wide, but I want to display all of it. So I want the background to stop scrolling when the bottom of the image is reached at the bottom of the browser window while still allowing content to scroll on top of it. I have seen this done with a completely fixed background, but not with a partially scrolling background. Does anyone know how, or even if, this can be done?

Need to know if it is possible to specify alt text for a fixed background image.

background-image:url(cssback.gif); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:50px 355px;

Any insight as to whether or not this is possible would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all i am having trouble with getting a layer to stay put when i school down the page.

This is my code:
Code:

#Layer1 {
	position:absolute;
	width:64px;
	height:73px;
	z-index:1;
	left: 0px;
	top: 101px;
}
<div id="Layer1">
      <div align="left"><img src="images/gun.gif" width="58" height="73" /></div>
    </div>

Everytime i scroll down the image goes with it. I need it stay where i put it without moving at all.

If anyone could help then that would be great

Hey there! New to code, sort of flying blind but learning a lot as I go along.

I'm also kind of shooting for the stars with my design decisions. I was wondering if anyone here has any idea how to mimic the rotating image on Blizzard's website.

(As I cannot post the URL, I assume everyone can figure out how to get to Blizzard Entertainment's website easy enough).

If you zoom in and out on it, it remains static even as the pieces around it resize over it (this also happens at smaller resolutions). I would desperately like to know how to get it to lock flush against the side of the window like that. Additionally, you'll notice that it doesn't pop a scrollbar onto the window until you shrink the window smaller than the central content.

I guess a bigger question is, is this even something achievable in CSS? Do I have to delve into Flash or Javascript to do it, and if so, does anyone know how?

Thank you so much in advance!

I'm pretty new to using CSS so please be gentle

I'm trying to hack (develop is to lofty a word at this point) this tableless page and get the bg image to stick to the right/top corner of the "content" div. IE6 renders it pretty well but Firefox (my preferred browser) is horrendous. The image size is 400x392. Any thoughts or a good reference on this would be greaty appreciated.

How can I fix a Div a set distance below another Div without a set height?

I'm working inside of a classifieds software app and trying to position a button inside an area that I don't have access to the raw HTML. I built the image file and I know where I want it to appear on the page, but don't know the correct parameters to put in to get it there. I would like it to find the center of the page then go left 190 pixels and be about 400 pixels down from the top.

Site is http://www.ineedihave.com.

please look at this link
http://sudhakargolakaram.co.in/image.html

my question is how to place the image which has a curve design starting from the left till the right along with the 3 square images in between

keeping this image aside the width of the wrapper is 825px which is fine
the 1st div after the wrapper has content within the dark green at the very top and its width is the same as the wrapper which is 825px and the div after this are also 825px


in order to have this curve image whose width is 1204px and height 266px as the 2nd div is what i need help with

as of now my code is
#wrapper {
width: 825px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

#contentwrapper{
float: left;
width: 825px;
height: 1900px;
}

#toprowouter{
float: left;
width: 825px;
height: 25px;
}
#menu{
float: left;
width: 825px;
height: 57px;
color: #fff;
}

and code for other divs


just for the sake of this 1 image with 1204 X 266 i guess it is really not needed to change the wrapper to
#wrapper{
width: 1204px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

and there after all the other divs will need to have a width of 1204px and i will have to apply padding on left and right to a container div so that the actual content will have a width of 825px

how is it possible to have the image with 1204 X 266 sit inside the wrapper whose
width is set to 825px or should i change the wrapper width to 1204px just because of this big image

please provide the code for this

thanks.

I have the following

Code:

<td rowspan="2">
    <img class="gallerypic" name="<?php echo $pic['filename']; ?>" src="pictures/thumbs/<?php echo $pic['filename']; ?>" width="<?php echo $pic['thumb_width']; ?>" height="<?php echo $pic['thumb_height']; ?>">
</td>
<td>
    <div class="header">Caption</div>
    <div class="captionText">CaptionText</div>
</td>

I want the two div's to be positioned at the top of the TD they are in. I tried all different positioning stuff in thee CSS for their classes. What am I missing here? I really hate CSS sometimes. Do I need to style the TD to get this working?

HTML -- CSS
I decided my last layout looked like poop so I'm changing it. In FF the center logo fits right in the middle of the background image to give it a stretching effect. In IE the image is slightly above the baseline. (maybe 3-5 px) Any help here?
