CSS - Background Image Issues...i Think
Thanks for taking the time to read my question.
I have a container that has a background image. My container has rounded corners right top and bottom. This is done by putting subsequent containers above and below the container in question. I want to put text over the background image in the spot that looks like where text would go. My problem I think, has something to do with using <p> to put my text in. It automatically puts a space above and below the <p> area. I don't want this space. What else can I use? I tried <span> but that was no good. I tried setting the height on <span> but it didn't do anything. What I want to get to is my background-image in a container that has rounded corners with text in the "text area" warrenpersowich.com is the site that works right now, but has no background image in the top right container. warrenpersowich.com/IndexNew has the background image in, and I've made the top and bottom containers that have the rounded edges in them red so you can see them. Also note that they seem to function differently in FF and IE.... ya ya I know. If I use height: FF heeds it and IE doesn't. If you check out the css, the container in question is .CBBox4 css Similar TutorialsOn my website I have the root folder that contains a folder called images along with others such as a members folder. I created an index.php and a styles.css page inside the members folder. Then I tried to add a background image to the index page via css. The background image never loaded on the web page, however the rest of the css did. Is this an issue with the images being in a different folder? Is there a way to link to the images without copying them into the new folder? Thanks. hello, im gonna try to explain my problem. I have a wrapper div with a background image that is repeated on Y. Within that wrapper i have a content div, there are messages that come from a database. the problem is that the wrapper (and the background) isnt expending to the text that is in the content div. How to make the wrapper expend to the size of the content div!?. here are my divs: Code:
div.wrapper{
position:relative;
width:900px;
background:transparent url(images/templatemo_content_bg.jpg) repeat-y scroll 0 0;
margin:auto;
}
div.content{
float:left;
width:550px;
margin-left:20px;
}
i changed alot to try and now im totaly lost xD greetings Razedd Howdy, Okay, this is driving me nuts...i have the background-color set the same for the header and the footer, only the header is displaying darker than the footer. I've been going over it with a fine-toothed comb, but can't find the problem. here's the site and here's the css; Code:

Any help is greatly appreciated! Hello, I'm new to this forum, and somewhat new to CSS. I have learned enough about it to find my way around though, and I am still having problems changing one color on a theme. I have a Wordpress blog and am using a free theme I downloaded. It has a right and left sidebar. I would like to change the background color for both sidebars (they are not visually separated except by text). I have tried: .sidebar { line-height: 14px; font-size: 12px; background: #C4C2C2; } ...and that does change the background for them; but it does not extend to the footer. This new color only extends to the bottom of each sidebar content (so that if the blog portion is longer, the old color shows up below the new color). I have checked every single color in the css file, and I cannot find where this color is defined. Help, please!! I'm using background images on a <span> tag. Code: .thespan {
display: -moz-inline-box;
display: inline-block;
height: 16px;
width: 16px;
margin: 2px;
/* using longhand on purpose, since other classes override bits later */
background-image: url(../img/iw_ds_sprite.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 0px 0px;
}
And already there's an issue. IE (even 6!) FF2 and 3, and Safari all do what I expect. However, Opera is off by about 40 pixels. There is a shell around the span - changing this shell's class makes the internal background-position change, like so: Code: .theshell .thespan {
background-position: 0px -40px;
}
This actually works, except it doesn't. Opera, having been wrong in the first place, is now wrong by the same amount - it jumps to -80px. I've been pulling my hair out on this...I can't believe that it works in IE6 but not Opera! Any help is greatly appreciated. Tim i really like the fieldset due to having the title in the middle of the border, but are there any cross-browser issues? also what i'm finding is that if i set background styling. IE sets the background colour to include the legend aswell, whereas Firefox sets the background colour to the confines of the border. Ideas welcome and asked for Effective Alternatives also welcomed I have two problems. First issue is that I cant seem to get a background image to repeat in IE when it works fine in FF. I tried to reproduce the bug on another server using the same exact CSS and to my shock, the background repeat rule works fine. So, it doesnt work on my server at home with a much more complicated stylesheet (albiet the reference to the background image and repeat rule are exactly the same .. and simple) .. but when I port the same stylesheet to another server with simpler markup, boom, it works fine. Cant wrap my head around this one. Is there a commonly known IE bug/problem with background image/CSS/background-repeat rules? My site that does not work through IE shows the image once .. and thats it. No repeating like tell it to. My other issue (if youre still interested) is a problem with the CSS command: Code: table
{
empty-cells: show;
}
which does not work at all. As you can see on this page in IE, (http://www.doublethinkdesigns.com/development/ ) ive specified the rule, but lo and behold, the cells are still missing. Can someone kindly lend me some perspective perhaps? Thank you much in advance. 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 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'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 recoding the site jthensley dot com (The forum wouldn't let me list the site needing assistance) to HTML 5 and CSS. I've redesigned some features, which are basically already in the new layout, at jthensley dot com / 2012alpha The 2 horizontal neon lines and the vertical line are simply repeated outside of the header by the CSS. However, one problem I have is that the vertical line that is repeating becomes unaligned with the header if the browser window is expanded. Is there anyway to have it as a repeating background, set to begin at a certain pixel position, and move to the right to maintain alignment with the header as the page is expanded? Secondly, at the bottom, you have the copyright line, which I plan to use as a repeating background or image, as well, and my picture to the right, standing on top of the copyright line. Idealy, I would like the picture of myself to be in a certain area, and push down as page contents make the page longer, but maintain it's "link" with the footer. Any suggestions on how to achieve that? Thanks for your help! This is quite a refresher/learning experience for me! The CSS I have already written is below. * { margin: 0 auto; padding: 0; } body { font-size: 62.5%; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; color: white; background-color: #000000; background-image: url(images/horzneon.png), url(images/horzneon.png), url(images/verneon.png); background-position: 0px 137px, 0px 172px, 250px 0px; background-repeat: repeat-x, repeat-x, repeat-y; } ul#nav { height: 185px; width: 1024px; margin: 0 auto; background: url(images/header.jpg) no-repeat; } height: 185px; width: 1024 px; Well, not exactly an image map, more like links on an image. You'll have to excuse some of my ignorance, I only started with CSS a little over a week ago...so you can imagine. I found this neat little trick and wanted to implement it on my site. I'm undertaking a redesign of our companies old site...which was terrible. I figured it would be a fine time to learn CSS. The idea here is that there are about 50 points on this map that are links to pdf files, we decided that it would be nice to be able to see little thumbnails and some basic info on each point without opening the pdf. The site does this just fine, but unfortunately won't work in anything lower than 1280x1024. I can't just resize the images because then the links will be messed up as they're posisioned by the pixel. I have no idea what to do to get this to work, it may just be a lost cause. If someone tells me to forget it, and it's just not going to work...I can live. It's really just a neat thing I wanted to see work, it's not crucial. Any ideas at all would be great, at the very least I might learn something Oh...here's the site: http://www.sanitaryengineer.co.medina.oh.us/gis/test.html Thanks a million I know that IE reacts to CSS different than FF or Opera etc. I 2 columns (left & right). When the page loads it shifts the columns to the right & down a few pixels. When you roll your mouse over it they go into place. This only happens in IE. Also, I have an image that is 45% transparent. I saved it as a png and gif. IE will not display it as transparent. In FF & Opera it does. Then in Opera, the background image does not center. It aligns to the top. I know that they are some hack to fix these issues. I used Google, to try an resolve my issues. I my search terms must not have been correct. Here is what I am using thus far. CSS Code: Original - CSS Code body { background-image: url(images/main-bg.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-color: #495877; background-position: center; } h3, h4 { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helevetica, sans-serif; font-stretch: wider; color: #000; } #leftcolumn { float:left; margin-top: 22%; margin-left: 20%; width: 120px; height: 250px; border: 1px solid #FAF0E6; background-image: url(images/fade_bg.png); background-color: transparent; padding: 5px; padding-left: 8px; font-family: Poor Richard;/*Verdana, Arial, Helevetica, sans-serif;*/ font-size: small; font-color: #FFF; } * html #leftcolumn { /*IE only style*/ margin-top: 22%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; } #leftcolumn a { padding: 3px 1px; border: 0px solid white; display: block; width: 100%; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color: #000; } #leftcolumn a:hover { background-color: #cca411; } #rightcolumn { float:left; margin-top: 22%; margin-left: 6%; width: 350px; min-height: 300px; border: 1px solid #FAF0E6; background-image: url(images/fade_bg.png); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helevetica, sans-serif; font-size: smaller; color: #FFF; padding: 5px; padding-bottom: 8px; } * html #rightcolumn { /*IE only style*/ height: 300px; } .navindent { font-family: Scholar; /*Verdana, Arial, Helevetica, sans-serif; */ font-size: 10px; text-indent: 8px; color: #000;

Learning CSS has been fun!! Thank You for any suggestions. Please view: http://www.archanix.com/aib/about/ Notice the red square aib logo towards the bottom of the page. I have been successful in aligning the image to the bottom of the div. But because I'm using position:relative; bottom:72px; it pushes my footer down farther than I want. Any way i can get around that? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jesse |
