CSS - Can't Get Footer Background To Show Up Anymore

Just curious as to what i'm doing wrong here, its the #content block that isn't working. Any help that could be provided would be greatly appreciated.

css Code:
Original - css Code body { font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial; color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 11px; } .bg { width: 100%; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; z-index: 5000; } #pagecontent { width: 800px; height: 600px; position: relative; z-index: 6000; margin: auto; } #content { width: 800px; background-color: #999999; } #latesttut { width: 381px; height: 150px; border: 3px solid #FFFFFF; float: left; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; } #latestblog { width: 381px; height: 150px; border: 3px solid #FFFFFF; float: right; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; } #seperator { width: 800px; height: 5px; float: left; } #latestnews { width: 784px; height: 213px; border: 3px solid #FFFFFF; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; float: left; } #footer { width: 800px; position: absolute; bottom: 0; } .nav { background-image: url('images/blank1pxl.jpg'); } a:link { text-decoration: none; color: #0066CC; font-size: 9px; } a:hover { text-decoration: underline; color: #0066CC; font-size: 9px; } a:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #0066CC; font-size: 9px; } a:active { text-decoration: none; color: #0066CC; font-size: 9px; }

Hi everyone...new here and I hope you can help! Thanks is advance!

I want to repeat an image (bkgd.jpg) in my background and it doesn't seem to be working. Here is the site:

romanceplaybook
I can't post the entire URL because I'm a new registrant. But just put dot com at the end.

Not that the page background is white. It should be repeating the image bkgd.jpg

Here is the CSS:

body {

}

#wrap {
background: #ffffff url(images/bg.jpg) top center repeat-y;
color: #333333;

I have a layout made up of divs, and held together by another div. That holder div is supposed to have a background image, but it wont show on every browser that I've tried, except IE7.

Here's the id:

#holder {
background-image: url(/files/images/CSS/header.png);
width: 750px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
margin-bottom: 10px;
margin-top: 10px;
}

Backgrounds show on other divs, so why not this one?

My css code
Code:

#menu {width:172px; padding: 0; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #333;}
#menu ul {border: 1px black solid; list-style: none; padding: 0; margin: 0 0 1 0; background-color: #d1d1d1;}
#menu li .menu_box {background-image: url('./images/menu_fill.gif'); margin-left: 200px;}
#menu li {border: none; margin: 0;}
#menu li a {display: block; padding: 5px 5px 5px 0.5em; background-color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; width: 100%;}

My html code
Code:

<div id='menu'>
<ul>
<li class='menu_box'><img src='./images/menu_news.gif' alt='' /></li>
<li><a href='{$url}'>+ Home</a></li>
<li><a href='{$url}about.php'>+ About Nascar Interior</a></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li class='menu_box'><img src='./images/menu_services.gif' alt='' /></li>
<li><a href='{$url}portfolio.php'>+ Portfolio</a></li>
<li><a href='{$url}enquiry.php'>+ Enquiry</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

For some reason I can't get menu_fill.gif to fill the <li> with the class menu_box. Is there something wrong with my code?

I am working on this page:
http://concrete-creative.com/pp/products.html

and the problem I am having is that I want the rest of the "flower" image to show behind the content area... I have it set as the background image of that table, but it's not showing up. Here's an image of how it is supposed to appear:
http://concrete-creative.com/pp/pp_sample.jpg

Can anyone direct me on how to work this out?

Thank you!

(I posted this is the HTML forum too but can't figure out how to move it, so I just posted it here too)

Screen shot for FF.
Screen shot for IE7.

Any ideas on why this is happening? IE has been going weird when ever I use background images

Hi,

I have a page where I am including a background image via CSS. It looks fine when viewed in a browser, but when I print it the background does not show up.

I have my stylesheet include set to both screen and print:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/css/form.css" media="screen, print">

The CSS code in question that sets the background image is:

#title{
background: url(../../images/title_bg.gif);
width: 398px;
height: 52px;
text-align: right;

}

<div id="title">
<div class="titleText"><cfoutput>#FormDETAIL.strTitle#</cfoutput></div>
</div>

Why can I not see this background image when I print the page??

Hello all!

I'm having difficulties... in IE, showing background image works perfectly, however, on FireFox it does not show the background image...

SAMPLE CODE:

Code:

#header385 {
	width: 1009px;
	margin: auto;
	background-image:url(http://www.zadarsport.com/20pozadina_385.png);
	background-repeat:repeat-y;
	}

#kraj {
	width: 1009px;
	margin: auto;
	background-image:url(http://www.zadarsport.com/20kraj.png);
	background-repeat:repeat-y;
	z-index:-1;
	}

i do not use height option because it's depending on how many words and images article has, however, it works in IE

example:

http://www.zadarsport.com/x.php

please check #kraj and #header385 and try to help me PLEASE... thanks!

I have just started writing a page and the first thing I did was establish a body background color and image. It works in IE but not FF.

Can someone please give me a clue what is wrong.

I have searched all the CSS books and the internet but I cannot find an answer.

Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone. I have never posted here before, but I am really needing some help. I am not a newbie, and make layouts on a regular basis. Now I am not claming that I know everything about CSS cause I def don't...lol...but this one has really got me stumped. Please help.

I created a layout for a friend of mine. He was complaining about the background not showing up. Well I immediately went and checked the code and IT WORKED JUST FINE. I tried the layout code on two other user's myspace profiles and used two different computers to check it and CRAZY ENOUGH, it was still working perfectly.

However when you add the layout to his profile, the background will just NOT show up. It is not only this layout, but I tried different layouts, once that I created and ones I didn't. Whenever you put a layout code in his profile, every other element of the layout works EXCEPT for the background showing up.

So I figured it must be some other code pasted in one of his sections, screwing the layout code up. WRONG AGAIN! I took at ALL other codes in every section and the background still won't work. I even tried changes Myspace account settings and all kinds of crazy off the wall things, and I can't get it to work.

Has anyone ever heard of this? Please tell me you have, and that you know what might be causing this...and have a fix. It is driving me insane. Thanks!

Hello,

Im using a separate style.css file to define everything through the site...

ive put in this code:
Code:

.sideheadline {font-family:Verdana,Sans-serif; font-weight:bold; color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #003366; 
	background-image: url(images/bg.gif); background-repeat:repeat; background-attachment:fixed; font-size:10px; } 

and connected to this line:
Code:

Hi,

I'm using html:link with a background image. This works fine on IE and Firefox, but the link won't show in Mozilla. Could changes to the css fix this? Does anyone know how to solve this?

Regards,

I have a Wordpress site. The layout has some complex elements, but strangely the one thing that doesn't work is the background-color that I am setting using the "body" selector. It works great on Firefox and IE (imagine that!) but not on Safari or Chrome, which are Webkit-based. It is supposed to have a gray background, but those two browsers just show the default white.

The following is the code I'm using in the body selector.. not much places where something could be going wrong.

css Code:
Original - css Code body { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-color: #333333; }

  

  


 body {


     margin: 0px;


     padding: 0px;


     background-color: #333333;


 }

I don't understand why things aren't working... it seems to me like background-color should be a very well-supported property that shouldn't have much variance between browsers. Anyone have any tips?

Note: I tried validating the code to see if there was an error there - however, it's all valid except two little (unrelated) things that I could easily fix if I needed to.

Thanks in advance for any help,

I've been using the html>body cheat to fix IE issues for over a year now, to fix issues with margins mostly. Lately for some reason, it doesn't seem to work anymore. For the life of me I can't figure out if I'm doing something wrong or not. Here's a sample of what I'm working on right now:
Code:

.image a {
	display: block;
	width: 154px;
	height: 84px;
	border: 1px solid black;
	overflow: hidden;
	float: left;
	background-image: url(_images/loading.gif);
	margin: 5px;
	}
.image img {
	border: 0;
	}
.image a:hover {
	border: 5px solid #FC0;
	margin: 1px;
	}
.image a:focus {
	width: 170px;
	height: 96px;
	border: 10px solid red;
	margin: -12px;
	}

What's going on is I created a 4 x 4 grid of images, when you mouse over them a 5px orange stroke surrounds the image, and when you click the image, the image "enlarges" and gets a 10px red stroke.

It's working great in Firefox, but then in IE, because of the margins, images shift when you mouseover, and the red stroke doesn't appear when you click. Any ideas? Thanks.
