CSS - Background Color Not Appearing In Css
Here is my code:
Code: body { background-color: yellow; margin-left: 20%; margin-right: 20%; border: 1px dotted gray; padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px; font-family: sans-serif; } None of the attributes such as background color, margins, border, padding are showing up when I test it out.

Hello, if you visit http://tombraiders.net/katie/alison/index2.html you'll see the site I'm working on. (User: letme Pass: in) I want to put a background image within the container that all the body copy resides. I've tried editing the CSS file, located at http://www.tombraiders.net/katie/al...tyle_screen.css under "container3" however nothing ever appears. The image I'm trying to link right now is located under the img folder at the path img/image.jpg -- it's just a test image I want to use for now to see if I can get one working at all. Any help would be great! Not sure why it's not showing up. Thanks I must be missing the obvious? I have created an image that I want to tile vertically in the body of my document. So I have created a style for body in a linked css file with the following: body { background-image:url(image/background.gif); background-repeat: repeat-y; } In Design view in Dreamweaver, the image has the desired effect and tiles no problems, however when I go to preview it in the browser, the image does not appear. I have checked that the path of the image is correct in relation to the index.html page. Everything is saved on the desktop just now because I am experimenting with the technique, so in desktop I have the index.html and the image file (with the background.gif) in it. Oh and the css file is on the desktop too. I have also tried embeddeding the style rule in the head of the index.html and it still wont work. Would someone put me out of my misery please dmlocke Hi guys. This is my first post and I'm relatively new to CSS so I apologize if my post reeks of newcomer! I'm currently setting up my site with an external stylesheet. Everything has been coming along fine until I decided to setup a menu with css rollover image links. For some reason I simply cannot get the image to appear whatsoever. Everything else is working (such as position and size (I have temporarily given it a border for locational purposes)) within the code but the image just does not appear. I have looked this up for some time now and cannot come to a resolution. I have tried altering the code, changing paths, etc. etc. But I can't get it. Would really appreciate some help. Here is the rollover portion of my css: Code: #rollhome { display:block; float:left; margin: 0 auto; width:122px; height:50px; text-decoration: none; background-image:url("images/topmenu_home.png") no-repeat 0 0; border:#000000 solid 2px; text-indent:-99999px; z-index:20; } #rollhome:link, #rollhome:visited { background-position: 0; } #rollhome:hover { background-position: 0 -50px; } And here is the rollover portion of my html: Code: <div id="rollovers"> <a id="rollhome" href="#"title="rollhome">Home</a>< /div> Any help would be most appreciated! I have two bits of code that work in IE, but not in Firefox, and I have no idea why! They both use the background-image property Here is the first: Code: a.bio { display: block; width: 150px; height: 26px; background-image:url(C:\Apache 2.2\htdocs\_empaudio\test\images\btn_bio.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; } a.bio:hover { background-image:url(C:\Apache 2.2\htdocs\_empaudio\test\images\btn_bio_h.jpg); } Code: <a class="bio" href=""></a> And the second: Code: td.window { width:670; height:31px; background-image:url(C:\Apache 2.2\htdocs\_empaudio\test\images\window_nav_repeat.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-x; padding:0px; margin:0px; border-spacing:0px; border:0px; } Code: <td class="window"></td> Does ANYONE know why this is happening?? i wanted usersto choose their own style sheet by giving them different links like red, green, blue which will take them to different layouts or background color page. the problem was that worked only for that particular page but if they click on any link or menu from that page it will take them back to the default color. is there any way that i can set so that their choice will stay throught their surfing ? any thoughts ? hanks Hi, I have made a page using <div> tags. <div id="page"> <div id="leftmenu"> </div> <div id="mainarea"> </div> </div> My problem is that sometimes, the leftmenu is longer than the main area(1) and sometimes its the opposite- the main area is longer than the leftmenu(2). I want them both to be of the same height. (3) How can I do this? Plz Help! I have pasted the style codes for the 3 tags below. (1) (2) (3) #mainarea { background-color:#FFFFFF; float:left; position:relative; right:0pt; width:630px; } #leftmenu { background-color:#EEEEEE; float:left; left:0pt; position:relative; width:140px; } #page { background-color:#FFFFFF; position:relative; width:770px; } Having an issue with the background color in a div. The color shows up in I.E. but not in Firefox. I have a div with a width of 100%. Inside the div is an unordered list with two list items. Here is the css: div#nav { width: 100%; margin: 0; background-color: #EAE9E4; } #nav ul {margin: 0; padding: 0; } #nav li { list-style: none; float: left; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 15%; font-size: 11px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap; } Essentially this will be a navigation aid below the banner of the webpage. The list items will contain anchors which will appear as "buttons". The containing div extends to the end and I want it to have a background color. Any help appreciated. Hey Guys! I'm going absolutely bonkers trying to find out how to change the color of the background of a certain element on my site.

I have tried applying it to both <div>'s and <p>'s. Does IE not support the background-color property outside of the page background? Hi there people, I have a question about CSS but before I start off asking this question I'll introduce myself. I'm a new user of this great forum, my name is Dwight and I'm a student on the "Graphical Lyceum Amsterdam" where I follow the education for "Multimedia Designer". Ok so now you know me a little, I'll start off asking my question. Question: I have to change the layout for a html page that askes for information from different asp pages, but that's not my problem . The problem is that I have to make some td's a different color -the background that is- but the problem is that I can't change the html page itself (it is automaticly generated and I don't have permission to change it). So my question is can someone tell me how I can change the color of some (not all!) td's with CSS without making classes? Tnx, Dwight I'm using Wordpress 3.0.4 with the WP Remix theme 3.0 for my website. URL: joelwyant.com I want to be able to add a page to the site during the Christmas season. To make it standout more, I'd like that specific page to always have a different background color in the navbar than the other "normal" pages. I have the CSS for the navbar style, but I don't know where to begin to make it specific to just that one page. In other words, how do I create CSS that overides the normal navbar background color for just that one specific page? Any thoughts, suggestions, or guidance is much appreciated! Joel What is wrong with this? I can't seem to see any of the background colors in Firefox or Camino? I have tried setting the background color in the body, and by enlosing the rest of the elements within a containing "main" div... but neither seem to work. Any ideas? What is wrong with this?

Hi, I have a simple table <table id="sometable"> <tr> <td> <a href="link1">link1</a> <td> <a href="link2">link2</a> </table> with a style sheet table#sometable {width: 100%;} table#sometable a:hover{background-color: #A9A9A9;} What I want is on a hover the whole cell changes color, not just the link. How can I do this? Also should I be using a table in the first place? Thanks Colin Hi, I am trying to set background color on hover for a single table of links, rather than the entire document like the below example shows. http://www.projectseven.com/tutorials/css/pseudoclasses/ I have tried various ways, I do not want to use javascript for this and I am aware of the way to apply background color to the .td field but this also applys to the normal text not just links. So my question is how do I apply the background hover color to one table of links instead of the body. Thanks! Hello All. I'm working on an assignment for an introductory level html/css class. The assignment asks me to change the Window Background color to 666666. How do i do this? So far i've only be able to change background colors of element tags, which is not what i need. This was the Example give for this particular step. Edit: i tried to link a picture for a visual. For some reason its blocked to new members. Any help would be appreciated. Hi there, Is it possible to start a background-color a certain amount frm the top, like you can with background images? I have a background image which uses rounded corners, but when I set the background-color, it overlaps the background image so you cannot see it anymore. What I want to do is to start the background color, say, 20px from the top. Is that possible? My problem is that I need to get the Body Background color that is in a css file using php to then introduce this color to an applet.
