CSS - How Do You Make A Background Image Display Over A Bgcolor
I have a gradient background image that goes from dark to light. At the bottom of the table if the body of text grows too large the table will stretch past the length of the background gradient image exposing the bgcolor for the page (not acceptable). If I change the bgcolor of the table the color is applied over the background image. Isn't there a way to fix this with CSS?
Thanks for any help!!! Similar TutorialsEven when I zoom out to the least point, I want my background image in my webpage to stay normal size. How do I do this? Hello, I'm having a problem that I can't seem to fix - and I've been at it for two days now, I think it's time for an outsider's point of view. First of all, I've googled and researched to no end about this - and others have had the same problem as me, but for some reason nothing that's been suggested has fixed it. With any luck it's just some stupid typo I'm missing or something . I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 to make a site, but I'm not using the WYSIWYG editor, I'm just using that to see what it looks like as a quick-view during development, and uploading it via FTP to the server to see a more accurate representation of it (basically, the code isn't written by DW). Here's the problem. In DW, the "background-image" tag in the CSS file is displaying all of the images perfectly, but when I upload the site - the images simply don't appear, but if you resize your browser window you can tell by the way the scrollbars are behaving that it is holding places for the images. I've tried everything I can think of, including using the "overflow" tag, trying different ways of writing the file paths (absolute vs. relative), and I've looked through every line of the code over and over again. CSS file: Code: @charset "utf-8";

You win many internets of love for your help. I am wanting to display an image as a background. However that isn't working for me. So can someone please help me solve this problem? Thanks in advance. This is the css code that I am working with: Code:
body {
background-image: url(cattle_bg.jpg);
background-attachment: fixed;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin: 0px;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
This is the link for that css code which is the htm file: Code: <link href="/images/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> Hello. Can someone please help me understand why this page looks fine in IE7 and Firefox, but not in IE6: http://www.shootingblanks.net/TEMP/Nevermind/bio.php You can see that the background image is completely cut off on the left in IE6, and I'm not understanding why. Here's the CSS code for that div: Code: #bioContent {
background: url(../images/bkgnds/bio.jpg) no-repeat top left;
width: 140px;
min-height: 550px;
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
Also, there's one other page on the same site that's also behaving oddly only in IE6. The picture is not on the bottom-right like it should be, and it's getting cut off: http://www.shootingblanks.net/TEMP/Nevermind/news.php Here is the code for that div, if anyone has suggestions on that one too. Thanks!!!: Code: #newsContent {
background: url(../images/bkgnds/news.jpg) no-repeat bottom right;
min-height: 400px;
text-align: left;
}
Okay the backgroundimage "content-header" does not display in firefox for the <div id="contentWrapper"> tag. In internet explorer it displays. Not sure what the hell is going on with it. I hate css http://www.mgan.net/work/10-06-04/layout1.html There is the link, I have my styles in the header section of the html file. An important part of my design is the background image. I have tried many different things but cannot seem to solve this. I have two options: Option 1: One placing the image in a tag within the body. Results where pretty good except in IE 6 the content is displayed under the image. You can see the effect of option 1 on this portion of the site: http://woodysfireworks.nl/w/index.html example Code:
/*option1 background image*/
img.bg {
background-color:#000;
/* Set rules to fill background */
min-height: 100%;
min-width: 1024px;
/* Set up proportionate scaling */
width: 100%;
height: auto;
overflow:hidden;
/* Set up positioning */
position: fixed;
z-index:0;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
@media screen and (max-width: 1024px){
img.bg {
left: 50%;
margin-left: -512px; }
}
Option2: I placed the image in the style sheet and then included a class and id in the tag. Here the images get blown up in all version of IE. example Code:
/*option 2 background image*/
#start{ background:url(images2/426.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='.myBackground.jpg', sizingMethod='scale');
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='myBackground.jpg', sizingMethod='scale')";}
I would really appreciate some insight. I am pulling my hair out. Thanks Is there a fix? Hi everyone, I'm experiencing an unusual problem that I could use some help with. I've a layout that uses three background images (in separate divs) - a top bg, a bottom bg, and an overall bg. The bottom and overall background images are causing a problem. The top bg and bottom bg are supposed to line up. And they do! My layout looked fine on my computer (PC using Firefox 3.5.7 and IE8). I uploaded it to my personal website - and it looked fine there also. I validated the code successfully. The problem happened when I uploaded it to my client's web server. The top bg displayed ok. However, the overall and bottom background images did not display correctly. They seemed "squeezed". The overall should be center and extend to both ends of the browser window (the image is large enough). I can't seem to identify why it would do this. I even did a test by removing all of the code except for the div containing the background image. I added another div and placed the image directly into it (so that I could compare the size). Here's the css: Code: html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: #CCC;
}
#botDrop {
/* margin: auto;
*/ background: url('../images/bgDropBot.jpg') no-repeat left top;
/* width: 971px;
height: 50px;
*/ background-color: #CCC;
}
Again, looked fine on my computer, looked fine on my web server - displayed incorrectly on the client's server. On the client's server it again displayed (horizontally) smaller than it's actual size. My background image was initially about 1200 pixels wide. I reduced it, and that seemed to make it a little better, but didn't quite fix the issue. I suspect there's some sort of calculation going on depending on the screen size. However, I don't get why it doesn't do that for me when I view it locally or on my personal web server. Here's a screenshot showing the problem: http://www.stephencamper.com/screenshot/screenshot.jpg I just want the background image to display at it's actual size. Any help's appreciated. Thanks. -Stephen 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 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. Hey everyone, I am making a menu in CSS( and javascript ) and I was wondering why the following doesn't work: Code: #menu ul li {
display: none;
}
But this does: Code: #menu ul * li {
display: none;
}
Adding an * makes it work in firefox and ie, is this a bug or something, or am I just on drugs? Hi all, I think I came across it a while ago, but I can not find it now. There was this trick on how to make a CSS gradient background, it was something like background-color: #123456 50%; or something like it. That thing is supposed to fill up a table cell or an entire page with gradient background, if anybody knows what I am saying, assist me, please. I wish I could describe it better than that, but I don't think I can! Thank you, Chris I am very, very new at web design, and would like to make a colored background behind text, although I am sure that is not the right name for it! For example, in this this website I would like to emulate how to make that curved rectangular background behind the Online Poll, but I have no clue what the name or the source code behind it that makes it so! If anyone could even just give me the proper name for it so I can google it, I would be very thankful! 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 all, First post in the CSS forums so go easy on me! I have the following style sheet : PHP Code: <STYLE TYPE="text/css"> .SearchBar { background-color: #FF0000; border-style: solid; border-color: #000000; border-width: 1px; } </STYLE> Im trying to call it like this : PHP Code: <table width="100%"> <tr class="SearchBar"> <td>Hello</td> </tr> </table> Which doesnt work as it only displays the background color. However if I call it like this : PHP Code: <table width="100%"> <tr> <td class="SearchBar">Hello</td> </tr> </table> Then that will work and display the bgcolor and the border. Is there no way I can use that class in the <tr> instead of the <td> as I may have a number of <td>'s in that row which means I would have to have only border top and bottom some cells, etc and that makes things more confusing than a straightforward style attached to a <tr> to be spread out along all the cells. Someone advised <tr> is not rendered hence you cannot have a border attached to it. This however makes no sense considering you can use <tr bgcolor="#000000> which surely is rendered. Thanks for any pointers Greets x0x Have seen this effect around. Perhaps the CSS masters can tell me how I do it. When you mouse over a Table cell the background color of the cell changes. I guess it could be javascript, but it seems like a CSS thing to me. How do I do that? Hi Everyone, I can't get my background image to display in Firefox the html looks like this: Code: <div id="textBack"> <div id="leftSide"></div> <div id="centerText"> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br </div> <div id="rightSide"></div> </div> Here is my CSS: Code: #textBack
{
background:url(images/textBack.gif);
background-repeat:repeat-y;
width:902px;
height:inherit;
position:relative;
}
#leftSide
{
width:180px;
position:relative;
float:right;
}
#rightSide
{
width:180px;
position:relative;
float:right;
}
#centerText
{
width:540px;
position:relative;
float:right;
}
Can anyone tell me what it is I'm doing wrong? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. |
