CSS - Inconsistent Colouring Of Background In Tables
Hi, i have a weird problem when trying to set the background-color of a table using css.
If i use the following code the table / cell displays fine: Code:
.tabletop {
border-width:1px 0px 0px 0px;
border-style:solid;
border-color:#666666;
background-color:#8C9DA9;
width:600px;
}
...there is a 1px border at the top, and the background is coloured in. But if i remove the border, and just leave in the background colour like: Code:
.tabletop {
background-color:#8C9DA9;
width:600px;
}
...the background is no longer coloured! Can anyone explain why this is please? Cheers Similar TutorialsCan someone look at my site at http://www.personalhurricanecenter.....com/index.php? using Internet Explorer? The problem is that on the initial load, the background of the main section (white in the middle) is fine, even though I had to drop the padding to 3em. You'll notice if you minimize and then maximize the window, resize it, or click on the "submit" button on the upper-right (which will redirect you back to this page) that the background turns blue. If you scroll down, then the lower portion is white. If you scroll back up, the background miraculously turns white again. But the section that remains visible during scrolling stays blue. Also, you can select the text in the blue and then deselect it and it'll be white! This does not occur in Netscape or Firefox. Can someone tell me what in the world is the deal? I've spent a week getting this layout set so I can move on and it's holding me up. Thanks. Tim P.S. I have my background color set to blue in the body section of my css, and the main background color set to white. Those are the only bg color configurations (except for link options). Is it possible to just colour colour the bullett of a list item? eg. disc or square orange and the text black Thanks for any help Hi there, If i have a css class called td.header_menul how do i change the link colour for this class? I know how to change normal link colours but how do i change them to that specific one? Thanks! I am not sure the best way to colour half a table cell? Basically we have a booking system with a table that shows booked days. On the date a booking starts I want to make the right half of the table cell (actually I would prefer to use a triangle on the top right - a diagonal half) the correct colour, and the same principle applies to a departure date. I was going to just use two 50% divs for the left/right split. But the diagonal split is a bit trickier. Should I just use 2 100% height/width divs and apply a different graphic to each? Hey, I am currently learning how to do layouts in pure CSS and am running into a few problems. Some of these i've cleared up, but i'm still learning obviously. My currently issue is that margin / top settings are not consistent throughout browsers. Example: in FF/Mozilla a margin setting or "top" pixel setting is "lower" than in IE. The reason for this is, apparantly, when margins are set to zero my lower div table actually rides up "under" the above div's bottom border, this creates an offset of 5 pixels when setting margins, etc. Whereas, in IE, the div sits directly beneath the 5px border, as I would assume it should. Here are the files i'm using: 1) Webpage: http://www.binjured.com/index2.php 2) CSS File: http://www.binjured.com/style2.css important css (as i see it) a #nav, .top, .main (these are all near the bottom of the file, if you wish to skip extraneous code). I am trying to understand WHY css does the things it does and how I can make it do the right thing. Any help would be extremely appreciated. Finally, there may be some extraneous code that those who know css, know does nothing. It's in there because I am trying to "debug" it but i'm completely lost for the answer now . when i dont turn of cache in IE my website seems to forget some css rules half of the time its really annoying cause i only see it when i browse the site on the server not local...and only when caching is turned on i use the equal heights columns technique from positioniseverything.net the site having the problem is here the problem is visible on the home page....i think around 1/5th of the clicks... then the link in the top left content box that should be absolute; bottom:0; just crawls up to the text.... like my question is WHY?? does it only do it sometimes Hello! I'm pretty new to CSS and to this forum, but I am having a problem with my website. My layout uses a centered content div using auto margins and all the positioning in the layout is done using relative positioning. The centered content div is 800px wide and is supposed to be centered in every page on the site. However, when I switch between certain pages on the site, I'll notice that the content div will shift a bit to the left. I've tried to trouble shoot this many times and can't seem to figure out what the problem is. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I wanted to post the website so you could see an example of the problem, but I'm not allowed to do so. It's not for self-promotion just so I can fix a problem. Anyway hopefully someone can help without seeing the site. Thanks! I'm not confident enough with CSS to just use it, so I'm mixing it with some tables too. I want a layout with two tables next to each at the top and then another below. The two at the top are working fine, but the one below keeps jumping back up to the top. I've managed to get an ugly fix by putting in a load of <br> but this doesn't work in IE7 (unless I add a lot more, pushing the content way down in other browsers) and isn't much of a solution. The other problem I have is that I want to have the majority of my page with a white background, but to get a surrounding border I've set the body background to be a colour and then placed a div around all the content. I want this div to be the size of the page and so set it's height to 100%, but this makes it too small. Not sure why. Here is my code for my page and CSS. If anyone can help I'd be most grateful.

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 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 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. 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. Hi I would like to replace the tables that make up my page with CSS. I have a header, footer, left column and the main body. Do you know of a link to a tutorial that can help. Or perhaps you know the CSS code. Any pointers gratefully received.. For some reason the following HTML & CSS code do not render the same result as the code listed below it: CSS - Attached Style sheet Code:
td.style1{
background-color: #FFFFFF;
border-top: 1px solid #AAAAAA;
border-right: 1px solid #000000;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;
border-left: 1px solid #AAAAAA;
}
HTML Code Code:
<table>
<tr>
<td class="style1">Some content to display</td>
</tr>
</table>
HTML (Intended display) Code:
<table>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" style="border-top: 1px solid #AAAAAA; border-right: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; border-left: 1px solid #AAAAAA;">Some content to display</td>
</tr>
</table>
Why wouldn't any browser follow the CSS in the stylesheet? I grew up doing web programming knowing that tables were bad. It didn't take long before I read all the documents on why not to use tables for design. And I know firsthand... What still mystifies me to this day is why whenever I check another newer "professional" site, it's all in tables... sometimes with no CSS at all... sometimes with a little. I rarely see a site that has no tables. Why is this? Is it to minimize problem with IE? Hello everybody, I am new to the forum and also a newbie to webdesign! I am hoping that somebody wants to help me out as I am trying to put the design of a table and the font used in CSS. I am trying to create a new table class out of: <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" class="tekst6" bgcolor="#E6373D"> (tekst6 = FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 13px; COLOR: #ffffff; ) How do I do this? Many many thanks in advance for your help! Regards Buzzman I am looking for advice on replacing a table layout (for form layout) with a CSS design. The purpose is to put together a PHP class that auto-generates forms so that the structure of the forms, is under control of an admin interface though an API. The problem is, that many of the clients that I do work for are very particular about the layout. In other words city, state and zip code must all be on one line, but phone number must have a row to itself, etc., etc.. The form must look exactly like the paper version. Generating a good looking form through an API using a table layout where i have to worry about column spans and so forth, is not something I am looking forward to. I would like to use a CSS layout instead. What is the best way to coax divs to work in the same way table cells and rows do and still deal with any goofy IE CSS quirks? Hello. I'm currently tweaking the layout of one of the websites I run. Every page on the site consists of a series of side boxes on the left and main content on the right and currently this divide is created though tables. I'm trying to replace the old tablular layout with a series of divs which are positioned with CSS. Below the header of my page is a content div, which contains two other divs, left and right. The rest of the site content resides in seperate divs in either the left or right div. I've managed to position the left div on the left hand side of the page and the right div on the right. However, the text in the right div is longer than the content in the left div and I'm finding that once the content on the left has finished, the content on the right is filling the whole of the page beneath it, when I actually want it to stay on the right and just leave the remainder of the left hand side blank. I've been trying to fix this for a while now and haven't managed to do so yet so I'm hoping someone here might be able to offer some suggestions. I've put up a sample page of the layout at http://www.mybb-emods.com/new/index.htm. Similarly, the CSS code I'm using is located at http://www.mybb-emods.com/new/stylesheet.css. If anyone could help me, I would really appreciate some advice. I've a feeling there's a really simple solution here, but I certainly haven't managed to find it yet. Hi, how can I draw these borders to a table using css? Thank you! Hello all, I have a site which I am working on right now and there is going to be text on the right side, and 3 rows on the right which on the top there will be a page banner, on bottom, just a picture, and i want to repeat the background colors on the other side. Kind of confusing to explain but he brandyn.garlic.com/headstart/aboutus.html Thats a page on the site, as you can see, there is a blank spot where I want a background to repeat but the size will obviously vary by the size of the content on the right. If someone could assist me with that, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Brandyn |
