CSS - How Do You Add A Background Image For Text Or Etc?
I am making this table area and I want the table to have a image as a background to give it more of a nice detail to it but I can't figure out how to get it to work for the table.
Thank you. Similar TutorialsHi. Really hoping someone can help me with this... I'll try and explain this as best I can(!) Basically I've got a page containing a block of 9 images, with each linking to a video clip. At the moment I've got the CSS coded so that whenever the mouse is hovered over the 'infobar' (at the bottom of each image) it goes from having a transparent background with black text to having a grey background with white text. What I'm trying to achieve is that same effect whenever the mouse is hovered over any part of the image and infobar. The live online link can be found at: www.markmcm.co.uk/test/test.html The CSS is as as follows: Code:
/*
* Page Stylesheet
*/
body {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
background-color: #eaeaea;
border:0; margin:0; padding:0;
height: 100%;

Any help would be very-much appreciated - and save an old bloke from tearing too much of his hair out(!) Hi I am redesigning my blog and took it down completely. I want to place the day's text post on the day's photo post on top of the latter, while graying out the photo. Is that possible without using flash? I am trying to put labels below images on my new site design. See: www.jwsuretybonds*com/jw09 I figured out how to get them vertically aligned, but I am having problems with the horizontal, as when I change the browser size, they move. Here is one of the examples: Code:
#homepage-bar h2.construction {
position:fixed;
top:225px;
left:505px;
}
I tried changing to position: absolute; I also tried to use percentages on the left: I know this is easy, but I can't find the fix after googling for 30 minutes. Help! I took over a website from a graphic designer. Needless to say, everything including all the text was a graphic. Now having said that I have an about page that is just that. I have taken that graphic and yes I know I should probably break it up but. So what I have done is take all or almost all of the text off of the graphic, the problem is, the customer can't change the text on their about page because of it being a graphic. Now I can set the graphic as a background image or a single image on a page. And what I need to do is float text over the image. Here is the image And here is the new image So how would I do the same with the text only using real text? Right now I have the image in a table and the text right justified. I'm sure there is a better way. I am trying to make a rectangle with an image on the left and a horizontal list of anchor links on the right. Each anchor link should be a 32x32 px image with text underneath each image. My problem is that the anchor links are not tall enough and the text is on top of the image instead underneath it. Please help. Code: <style type="text/css">
.toolbar_list ul { float: right; text-align: right; margin:10px;}
.toolbar_list li{list-style: none;display: inline;}
.toolbar_list a { float: none; width: 32px; height: 32px; }
div.toolbarheader {line-height: 48px;padding-left: 55px;background-repeat: no-repeat; border-style:solid;}
.icon-32-delete { background-image: url(stdimages/icon-32/delete.png); }
.icon-32-save { background-image: url(stdimages/icon-32/save.png); }
.icon-32-new { background-image: url(stdimages/icon-32/new.png); }
.icon-48-module { background-image: url(stdimages/icon-48/module.png); }
</style>
</head><body>

Hi All, It has been 20 years since I last wrote a program and CSS wasn't even thought of then so I need a little help. I wish to place a text area/box with a background I can put text on top of in my html. Any image should work. I wish the text area/box to start 15% from the left edge and cover 70% of the screen width and be as high as the image. I would like the image to automatically re-size to take care of different screen resolutions. I would like to have no scroll bars on the text area/box and I would like the text to be fixed so it cannot be changed by someone typing in the text area/box. However for future reference I would like to know how to turn the scroll bars on so the text scrolls but the image stays fixed. I have included the html I thought would work but doesn't. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks, **** Roose <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" > <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type"" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <meta name="revisit-after" content="7 days"> <meta content="MSHTML 6.00.5730.13" name="GENERATOR" > <title>TestBox</title> <style tyle=text/css> txta { width: 735px; background-image: url(new.jpg); border: 1px solid #781351; height: 80px; padding: 1px; position: absolute; left:15%; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="txta"> <textarea name="t1" width "735px" height: "85px"> </div> </body> </html> I can make my menu using ul/li elements with either a background image with text in the li or I can just create an image with text in it and having alt text. Is there a difference in regards to search engines and is there any other reason that I would want to have actual text with a background img on the li? The reason that I would want to use images with the text built into them is that the text will no be resized and I can use a specific font. When a user has the text display options set to big, the text gets out of the box. Does anybody have an idea to fix this or any alternative I can use so that this doesnt happen? I know its not the best design or css implementation but its my first css website: http://aplistia.com/unitedTours/UnitedTours.php (look at the white box surrounding the links: home, reserve, contact etc in the left side of the website.) the css is he http://aplistia.com/unitedTours/booksite.css Hi, I am making a site and it is important the text is always positioned over the background image in the same place. I have managed to do this. When I zoom out the text stays in the correct position however when I zoom in (as if I am looking on a smaller screen) the text re positions to the edge of the browser. How can I keep the text in the same position on all monitors? Here is what I have so far (I am very new to css): #content { text-align: left; width: 1060px; padding: 0px 30px 0px 30px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } Thanks Cameron Hey as the topic title says, can I put a background-image on a text input so that it shows in safari? I can't figure it out and can't find anything using google. Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks Hi All, Here's my issue... I have decided to try an all css-based layout which will incorporate: 1. a background image (770px wide) that repeats on the y axis in the BODY tag 2. a background image that will not repeat in a DIV tag that is slightly less wide (750px) than the BODY tag's background image The background image in the BODY will repeat on the y axis and provide a backdrop and edges that extend beyond and below the background image contained in the DIV tag which will also contain the main content/text for the site. [ Note: The background-image in the DIV tag is 631px in height. ] The problem is as follows: Since I do not have enough text to extend the content DIV to the height of the background image and/or beyond, the background image is not being fully displayed; the top and bottom of the background image is being cut off and the image as a whole is being pushed upward at the same time. To see the problem: http://publictrust.ca/css/default.htm The css is as follows: body { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #260D0D; font-size: 0.8em; background-color: #260D0D; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-image: url(../images/body-bg.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-y; background-position: center center; } #divHeader { margin: 0px; width: 750px; color: #260D0D; } #divMain { background-color: #EDCCA1; background-image: url(../images/container-bg.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center center; width: 750px; color: #260D0D; } #divFooter { text-align: center; font-size: 0.7em; margin: 25px 0 0 0; } #divHeader, #divMain, #divFooter { width:750px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; color: #260D0D; } #leftMenu { float:left; margin:130px 0 0 5px; padding: 0px; width:150px; } #divMainContent { float:right; width:500px; margin: 150px 5px 50px 5px; border-top: 1px solid #260D0D; } The css file can be downloaded at: http://publictrust.ca/css/css/template_css2.css Caveat: the solution must work in IE and mozilla/netscape AND when I add more text to the main content area, the DIV must stretch downwards to accommodate the extra text *without* changing the height of the divHeader & divFooter. Thanks in Advance, mne I'm trying to go through examples out there and get a handle on stretching background images with an opacity text box overlaying the image. I have it working in IE7, IE6, and Firefox 2.0.0.16 with one weird little thing. In Firefox only, if I have the page designated as the home page or I hit refresh, the background image doesn't appear - just a completely white page. If I have it as a link or highlight the url itself and hit enter, the background appears. Any ideas? It's pretty hideous - it's a test, but here's the url: http://www.mahec.net/default3.aspx Here's the code: Code: <%@ Page Language="VB" %>

Hello, I'm trying to create an list menu like the one in attached image and I have 2 problems. 1. In IE 6,IE 7 the list is ordered verticaly and not horizontaly (in Opera and FF it is ok) 2. I need to align the text on the bottom of the list like inattached image. Here is what I manage to do till now : http://www.sibiul.net/test/list-align.php Anyone knows what I must do ? 10x I have the following code in my style sheet: body { background: url('../../docks/images/dock2_fade.jpg') no-repeat fixed center 35%; } which displays correctly. However, the pages using this style sheet are displayed in a frame and when I scroll the page any text blurs until it is unreadable. If I display the pages outside of the frame then it all works perfectly. Can any one shed any light as to why this is happening? Jeni 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. In short, I'm trying to get this one image to tile down the page to the bottom, underneath a static background image. Basically, it's a 2pixel high image that's ready to tile vertically, just having a tough time getting it to work. You can clearly see the problem here, a gap at the bottom: http://www.groundedgroup.com/clients/NWR/ Here's the relevant css: http://www.groundedgroup.com/client...WR-GG/style.css I've googled and subsequently tried out some solutions, but no luck. Got any ideas? Thanks in advance. PS - Is there a way to keep the spiders from indexing my links above? The site is on a test server, so I don't want the url indexed. Hi, I have a question about setting up the Body background-image via a linked external stylesheet. I have a index.html file and a myStyle.css file. I want to setup the background to load an image file, test.JPG. When I embed the following in my index.html, I see the background show up: ** inside index.html file ** <BODY STYLE="background-image: url(test.JPG);"> blah </BODY> BUT, when I define my background in the externally linked myStyle.css file, the background does not load: ** inside myStyle.css file ** BODY { background-image: url(test.JPG); } ** inside index.html file ** <LINK REL="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css" HREF="myStyle.css"> <BODY> blah </BODY> </LINK> Please help. thanks! I'm trying to create a little background image for each image on this page. A kind of crappy looking polaroid type background image. It works fine in Firefox, but not in IE. Any ideas? http://www.rhizaowns.com/holly/index.php Code: div.top {
border: 10px solid #CCCCCC;
border-bottom-width: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background-image: url(menutile.jpg);
}
The code above yields this . It is uneven with the normal image, though both are the same size. I simply want to tile the bg image to the border even with the normal menu images. What am I doing wrong? |
