CSS - I Can't Get My Background Image To Tile
I've got two DIVs that flank my page content. Here's some CSS:
#leftside { width: 35px; background-image: url("_images/left.gif"); background-repeat: repeat; float: left; clear: both; overflow: auto; } As you can see, I've used both clear and overflow and the background will not tile in ANY browser, PC or Mac. I've applied combinations or overflow and clear to every DIV on the page and nothing works. It just will not tile unless I put something in the DIV (like text or an image) or if I hardcode the height, which is unacceptable since every page will differ. I'm at my wits end. I've spent the last 4 hours searching for answers and none seem to work. Similar TutorialsHi there, I'm trying to get the background image to repeat down the page, but I think the float is messing it up since it's outside the element, or something like that. The background image call works fine, you can test it if you enlarge the #Middle height values. http://www.wpforrealestate.com/prod...es/Design2/www/ I've had this problem before, but figured it out through the help here and some links on floats, but this time I'm just not getting it for some reason. Any ideas? Thanks. I'm working on a pet project on the off chance that I could be hired by a small business referral organization in the city where I live, so this isn't super urgent. I'm also not a web developer by trade, more IT, so if I make any obvious mistakes, feel free to point them out. I've got a simple absolute-positioned two-column layout and a two-color background that I want to tile vertically behind it. The problem seems to be that the browsers ( IE and FF, haven't tried chrome/safari/opera) seem to think that the body ends at the bottom of the logo I set on top, and won't tile it beyond the bottom of the image.

Also, I'm working on getting that footer centered about 30px from the bottom of the page, without running up into whatever content may be above it. I think I might be able to figure that one out on my own, though. Like I said, no rush. This isn't a paid gig I'm trying to tile the background of my menu infinitely so the design stretches to the very edge at the bottom of the viewport. Unfortunately, for some strange reason, it just decides to stop in the middle of the page. I've tried height:100% in various places with no luck. Help would be immensely appreciated!

Thanks again! ~Zach Hiya, So what I'm trying to do is have a base image used as a background that sits on the left side, and then another image to be used to tile across the rest of the page from where the first one left off. I'm not really sure how/if you can easily do something like that, and I can't seem to find anything when I'm searching. And when its all said and done, text would still go over both images as if it was one image. Thanks, -Sky 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! Hi. 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:

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'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? 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 want to use php to get images from a database and display them as css background-image attributes I know that the css Code: #id { background-image: url ('path/file'); }
works (obviously) and the html Code: <img src='image-generator-script.php'> also works but the css Code: #id { background-image: url ('image-generator-script.php'); }
doesn't work for me. It seems as though it should work. Why place such a seemingly arbitrary limitation on CSS as only being able to display images from existing files? I've done lots of searching through documentation and on forums, but not found anything conclusive either way. A couple of people have said it works. But it doesn't for me. Is there some extra configuration step I'm missing? Does anyone know for a fact that it works? -- so I can know for sure that somewhere I'm making a blunder in my code. But the code is simple, and I don't see where it could go wrong. (As is always the case!!) I can see the image in the browser just by pasting in the script link to the address bar. I know that url() specifiers are relative to the location of the stylesheet, not the html document, but in this case the html, the css, and the php are all in the same directory. I can't see what I could be doing wrong, so it really looks like you can't do it. But why?? And why isn't it mentioned in the documentation? (At least in the placers I've looked.) If you store all your images in a database, how on earth can you display any of them in CSS except by using a script in the url() specifier? I've seen plenty of tips about generating css files from php (I already do it), but that won't help in this case. All I can think of is to have php write the image data from the database into a temporary file, and put that file name into the url() specifier. But what a horrible kludge!! I will be very grateful to anyone who can give me solid facts on this question. Andrew Blake I'm wondering is is it possible to have a background-image for the <p>?? I tried this and nothing happen. The filepath for the image is correct. I saw at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/colors.html that this is possible. Code:
p.pBullet1
{
COLOR: #FFFF00;
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #FF0000;
BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url("image/ul_li_bullet.gif");
}
So, what did I do wrong? THanks, FletchSOD My page is a fixed width - 960px and it displays centred on browsers with a wider viewport than that. My new footer contains an image and is also 960px wide, and I have faded versions of that footer image which I want to display to the left and right of the footer image to extend that picture across a complete viewport. Trouble is, I've no idea where to start on doing that! Say for example my visitor has a 1600x1200 resolution, I want to display my 960px content and leave about 320px of blank space each side, and when they scroll down to the footer have a tiled image for 320px, then my main footer image, then another 320px of tiles. Or something. I am trying to display a button image (70px * 70px) with text positioned above it. However, the size of the button scales with the size of the font of the text. How can I get the image displayed at full size? Image attached.
