CSS - Layered Background Help
Hi,
http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/2268/demonfmconceptqq9.jpg This is the concept design for a site I am working on. I need some assistance in getting the background right as I've never used done anything more complex than a simple single background image or colour before. The grey bar at the top needs to stretch all the way across the screen, the light grey background for all the content needs to stretch all the way down the screen, even if there is no content there. While I can both get them to do this, when I then try and overlay the logo and navigation background over the grey strip going along the top, in Firefox it's 1px too far to the left, and in IE it's 1px too far to the right. Everything I try seems to fail, so anybody who can give me some assistance or point me in the direction of a good tutorial, I'd greatly appreciate it. Cheers Similar TutorialsI am trying to use divs to create multiple backgrounds for my site. One on top of the other. Specifically, I want 3, but I will settle for 2. The problem is that when I try to create container divs and add backgrounds, nothing happens. I think this is because there is no content so the div remains collapsed. However, if I add a width or height, it does not stretch out for all resolutions. If I use 100% for the width, it does nothing. I really need some help! Thanks! Code: body {
margin-left:0px;
margin-top:0px;
margin-right:0px;
margin-bottom:0px;
padding:0px;
background-color:#DADADA;
background-image: url(images/metal9.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat;

I am trying to set up four menus on the same page. Please view draft at www.tallnorwegian.com/meyer.htm I am struggling with the menu in the top left corner. The positioning of the first and second level layer. The left menu is meant to mirror the functionality of the right hand side menu. I've torn most of my hair out.... Can anyone help me - and have a look? Much appreciated, Sigi. I have a div with a background color set, that I want to have slightly transparent. Inside that div, is essentially my entire website. Now if I apply the opacity to the main outer div, all the divs inside inherit that transparency. Any ways to get around this? The outer Div with the transparency is the "content_wrapper" div. It excludes the header and footer. So the only issue is correcting everything wrapped inside the "content_wrapper" and "content" div. I tried setting the "content" div to opacity: 1; but it had no effect whatsoever. http://www.area51entertainment.co/index.php?about 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. So I have a design where the background is a large (1400x1100) image that fades into a vertical gradient at the edges. I've set up the css as follows: body { background: #000 url(gradient.jpg) repeat-x; margin: 0; } Here's where I run into my problem... I've created an empty DIV to hold the large image which will appear on top of the gradient and positioned it absolutely. <div id="bg_image"></div> #bg_image { width: 100%; height: 1100px; background: url(images/bg_image.jpg) no-repeat top center; margin: 0; position:absolute; } This works and the background looks like it should, however because the large image is inside a DIV, any time the browser window is smaller than that div (which will be the case for most users considering the image size) there will be scrollbars. This makes perfect sense of course I just can't come up with an alternative. If there was a way to extend a background image beyond the borders of a DIV that would work but overflow:visible; doesn't seem to work with background images only content. I wish I could set a repeating background AND a static background in the body style, because that is exactly the effect I'm trying to achieve. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Josh I have a table with a specified background color (specified in CSS). The content part of the table (a cell) uses information from a downloaded script (wordpress.com) to load information. I want the table background to shine through everything. How can I accomplish this (I suspect it is in the script CSS, but I don't know what). URL The 'home' page is how I want it (basically that background effect). But the other pages come out funny with no background. Could someone solve this, or alternatively reccommend another way. 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. I have a div box with a 100% width and a repeating background image on it. Everything works great except when the window is smaller then the actual site. If I resize my window so that the horizontal scrollbar appears, as if I had a 15" monitor, the background image does not go all the way to the edge. Instead it is only the width of the browser window, although the content of that box displays fine. Anyone know how to fix that? I have background image for bullet. However, in Firefox it tries to display several of them for one line, and in IE it is like it should - one background image per line. Ive set background to no-repeat, and it still doesn't work in FF. Help plz. See the problem here http://www.armedassault.org/wp/ Hi all. I'm having a small but very annoying problem with my new design. I'm using backgrounds for my divs but somehow Internet Explorer manages to push them one pixel upwards and to the left. I can't find out why and after trying things for three hours I don't know what to try anymore. In both Firefox and Opera it works fine! Here is a screenshot where you can clearly see what goes wrong. The one on the top is Internet Explorer, the one on the bottom is made in Firefox and is how it is supposed to be. URL Site: URL CSS: URL I also found out that the footer of my page doesn't go to the bottom correctly in Opera. If anybody knows how what the problem is there and how to fix it I will be the happiest person on earth Thx in advance. Greetings, Sjoerd whats wrong with this? body { font-family:arial; font-color:#000000; background:url(background/bg.jpg); } its the background bit that isnt working it works when the css is included on the page but when i put it on a seperate stylesheet it hasnt worked I want to make a webpage with ah gradient border on the left and right side of the page. The gradients will be "fading out" towards the middle. How should I do this? I know how to get one side to show up, but not both. Can I use two different backgrounds in one CSS element? (probably not) Or should I use two different <div> tags with backgrounds set with what I want and are as big as the page? Thanks. Hello, How can add a background color to each table cell in a table header and also add a small image on the bottom right corner of each of those cells? Thanks, Miguel someone know how to make a web with background like this... http://netcodigo.webinfo.es/ I tried, but I can't do it. pd: Sorry for my bad english. Is it just IE that using a gif as a background url not work... or is that one of the standards.. I know jpgs work.. but why not gifs? Am design a site just now this is the image of the site here The problem is the blue background what is the best way to do this just now i have it like this by use a repeat of part of the image but want the cloud part at the top left too. Hi, I'm building a website for my work and got in a little trouble. I do not know if it is just the browser or the code. I'm new to this CSS and HTML so i'm not 100% sure. I needed my background fixed which i had done, and on my home computer the main stuff on my page just floats above the background. On my work computer the main information is when you scroll down, after the background image. I'm confsued and wondering if anyone could help, thanks. Here is also a link to the page so you can see what the problem is, http://www24.brinkster.com/mattphat/ymca2.html Code:

Hi, Usual story, ive got the site working great in IE but FF has a little problem with the white background. Its like the content isnt actually inside the inside div: (school section example) <div id="new_outside_school"> - the colour box <div id="new_inside_school"> - the white centre LINK TO SITE HERE ive been messing and got the 'our school' section slightly better but its still not right, any ideas? Thanks. Mike I have a div named navbar and im trying to apply a background image to a tags within that div. Now for some reason everything applies fine but my background image doesn't show up not even in dreamweaver. However the background image shows up when I apply it directly to divs. Any idea? Hi, I am trying to make a website for a friend that scales to fit most monitors. The website is very image heavy and I have a navigation bar on the left side that lines up with the background on the right. I haven't made a webpage for awhile so I don't know a lot about CSS. This is what I have so far. It almost works, but the background on the right will not expand to fit the full div, only goes up to the content that I put inside the Div. The background also doesn't appear to shrink when I scale the window size. HTML CODE: Code: <head> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css"/> <title>Test Page</title> </head> <body> <div id="sample-container" align="center"> <div id="header"> <img src="images/header.jpg" width="1647" height="147" / id="headerbar"></div> <div id="nav"> <img src="images/navbar.jpg" width="413" height="776" / id="navbar"></div> <div id="content"> <img src="../../../Pictures/Misc/101_0138.JPG" width="527" height="428" /> </div> <div id="footer"></div> </div> </body> </html> CSS CODE: Code: #header
{
height: auto;
background-color: #666;
}
#nav
{
float: left;
width: 25%;
height: auto;
background-color: #999;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
#content
{
float: left;
width: 75%;
height: auto;
background: url(images/mountain.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
#footer
{
clear: both;
height: 50px;
background-color: #666;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
#headerbar
{
height:auto;
width:100%;
}
#navbar
{
height:auto;
width:100%;
}
If anyone knows a way to expand the background to fill the div and scale down when the div scales is size, that would be great. I was also thinking that maybe I could put the the navigation bar and the background image on the page and not as an background. Put those both in a div and have a floating div on the right aligned over the top of the background that contains the page content. If anyone could give any help with a solution it would be appreciated. Thanks. |
