CSS - Background Image Doesn't Work From External Style Sheet
I hardly ever use css for thimgs like backgrounds, but I have a freelance client that has alot of interesting ideas about how a good website should look so I'm trying to make him happy.
When I have: body { background: url('resources/assets/background.jpg') no-repeat bottom left; } in the extranal css it doesn't work. If I put it into the page it works fine. None of the online css resources I've looked at mention why this should be. I've even tried using the complete http://www.server.com/blah/blah/ address and I get the same results. Does this just not work from an external css, or am I missing something? Thanks y'all. Similar TutorialsHi. In my external style sheet i have this: Code: body { margin-left: 100; margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; } I am completely new at CSS and am only doing it because supposedly my tables are out of fashon! Thanks Matt I am using a single gif file as an image sprite and want to link the file name in another style sheet so i can reuse this sheet without having to have many copys of the style sheet with a different file names example: Currently like this Code: #store{left:-200px;width:158px;} #store{background:url('mred.gif') -150px -161px;} #store a:hover{background: url('mred.gif') -150px 0;} #fourms{left:0px;width:158px;} #fourms{background:url('mred.gif') -304px -161px;} #fourms a:hover{background: url('mred.gif') -304px 0;} want like this #home{left:-200px ;width:150px;} #home{background:inherit;background-position: 0 -161px;} #home a:hover{background-position: 0 0;} with the background:url('mred.gif') specified in another style sheet once insted of repeating over the entire sheet. effectively so i can just change the other external style sheet to change the gif file and keep this one the same. HOW? possible? This is the style sheet, how can i had a background image... the page can be viewed at inkheaddesigns.com/main Code: <?php header('Content-type: text/css'); header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate"); $pattern = '/^[^a-z0-9]{6}$/'; if (preg_replace('/[^a-z0-9]/i', '', $_GET['style']) && isset($_GET['style'])) { $color = $_GET["style"]; } else { $color = "9d60c1"; } ?> /* Theme Name: WP-Creativix Theme URI: http://www.wp-themix.org/themes/wp-creativix-free-premium-portfolio-wordpress-theme/ Description: WP-Creativix is a beautifull business & portfolio Wordpress Theme.

It worked fine with embedded CSS but when I changed the CSS to external, the text loads but the bg image doesnt. I'll post some code to explain it... This is in the external style sheet: #navbgtop { position:absolute; left:38px; top:185px; width:194px; height:18px; z-index:2; background-image: url(images/navbartop.jpg); } and yes of course I have made the proper link to it in the <head> tag: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/nav.css" media="all" /> For some reason the background image wont display. Any ideas? One more question also, does it matter if I use media="all" for the whole website? Or do I even need to bother using media=xyz ? I heard most browsers don't even read that as of yet. Ok, I just started a new website. I have been putting all of the html on every page. So, when I change one small thing on my Nav Bar, I have to go to every single page and change it! There has to be an easier way, right? Isn't it by using external sytle sheets? I tried this code in my homepage, but it isn't working: Code: <head> <STYLE TYPE="text/css" MEDIA="screen, projection"> <!-- @import url(http://www.freewebs.com/ohhdanggggraphics/BASIC.css); --> </STYLE> </head> Basically on my site the only thing I want to change from page to page is the information in the center table. How would I do this? Thanks for your help My Website I've been involved in building an intranet site with about 1200 pages. Now that it's been launched we've found problems in printing many of the pages - there are blank pages printing before the content, probably because of floated divs being pushed down when the width is restricted to A4. (That's a guess). Now I know that what we should have done was create a print style sheet which would have solved this problem easily, but if we do that we'll have to place the link to it in every page, which involves quite a lot of signing-out of 1200 pages etc. I'm prepared to do that if there isn't another way but I wondered if there's any way the existing external style sheet can be amended so it loads (imports) the print styles dependent on some statement or other. I'm doubtful, but if anyone knows of a method that involves editing the one stylesheet rather than the 1200 pages I'd love to hear it! I need to modify an external style sheet so that background images on each page can be changed. Please help Hi All, How can i apply style to following table?

Thanks in advance Hey, I'm a CSS noob, and I'm having some trouble with centering the content of my page. When I have the coding as an internal style sheet the page is centered, but when I put it in an external style sheet it looks the exact same...except for that it's left aligned. All I do is copy and paste it, but it change the layout around? Any tips? Hello all, I use an @import to import an external css file into the head of my html page. For some reason it does not work in foxfire though. My pages have no CSS, which most of my site is based completely off CSS. it's quite a mess. Here is how I import them: <!-- Main General Style Sheets --> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> @import url(customizations/site/templates/general.css);</style> <!-- Custom Style Sheets --> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> @import url(style.php);</style> Is there something special for foxfire or what could be the issue? Thanks for any help. Hi! I have a css file (validated) which contains: Code: TD.p1{ text-align: left; background-image: url('http://local/adres/img/szablon/1/g_1.gif'); } this works properly with Opera 7.54, Mozilla, but it doesn't work with MSIE! Only in MSIE I can't see the background image. Does anybody knows what may be wrong? MSIE version: 6.0.2600.0000 I'm creating an email template for all mail that I'll send to my users. I'm trying to make it work for as many mail clients as possible, so I'm only using inline css. Even with that, it appears that gmail doesn't support the background-image property. I have a table defined as Code: <table style="background:#666666; background-image:url(http://{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}/images/bg_grad.gif); background-repeat:repeat-x; width:100%; height:100%; margin:0px; " cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> ... This works fine for yahoo mail. With gmail, it will render "background", but as soon as I try and add an image, it ignores all of the styling. Has anybody run into this problem? Any suggestions on a solution would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to create a little background image for each image on this page. A kind of crappy looking polaroid type background image. It works fine in Firefox, but not in IE. Any ideas? http://www.rhizaowns.com/holly/index.php Hi, I have a strange problem where an inline style works, but if I put it in a new style class, it won't! Here is the CSS for a menu list: Code: #menu li{ vertical-align:middle; height:2em; padding-left:7px; padding-top:6px; float:left; margin-left:25px; background-color:#8D8387; display:block; } And then I want to apply this to the first list item: Code: .noMargin{ margin-left:0; } When I apply that class to the list item, nothing happens. However, when I use the inline style: style="margin-left:0;", it does work. What's going on? Thanks My Question is... When I put an image in a stylesheet, when does it get loaded? Does it get loaded when the style sheet gets loaded or does it get loaded only if I'm using the style on the page that has the image? The reason I ask... I have a lot of images in my style sheet, and I'm concerned about performance. Only some of the images in the style sheet are used on each page, but never all of them at once. I'm wondering if I should split up my style sheet into smaller style sheets, so that I will never be loading images for a page that I'm not going to be using on that page. (this would require the inclusion of 2 smaller style sheets on each page instead of 1 big style sheet). My style sheet is over 200 kb right now, and that does not include the image file sizes. Please advise. Hi, I have a question about setting up the Body background-image via a linked external stylesheet. I have a index.html file and a myStyle.css file. I want to setup the background to load an image file, test.JPG. When I embed the following in my index.html, I see the background show up: ** inside index.html file ** <BODY STYLE="background-image: url(test.JPG);"> blah </BODY> BUT, when I define my background in the externally linked myStyle.css file, the background does not load: ** inside myStyle.css file ** BODY { background-image: url(test.JPG); } ** inside index.html file ** <LINK REL="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css" HREF="myStyle.css"> <BODY> blah </BODY> </LINK> Please help. thanks! Hi, I have a XHTML 4.0 file and CSS in a separate file. The CSS if included within the <head> section of the HTML file works correctly and displays the page with the right formatting. However, when I move the CSS to a separate file and just use the <link> tag within the <head> section of the HTML file to link to this CSS file, the formatting is not applied. I am not sure what to do. Any quick help is greatly appreciated. Thanks xworder Hi... I have a slightly confusing problem. I have an external sheet which all works fine except the colour of links before they are visited, active, etc. (It worked fine but one day stopped without any intervention on my part that I know about!) The active link, visited link and hover link colours work as required and as specified in the external sheet, but it is the original link that does not, defaulting to the, erm, default colour. My external sheet is as follows: body {background-image: url("images/logo.jpg")} type="text/css"; a:link {color: #c0c0c0;} a:visited {color: #FF80FF;} a:hover {color: #FF00FF;} a:active {color: #FF80C0;} h1.c1 { text-align: center; font-size: 46pt; color: #bb8ec8 } h1.c2 { margin-left:130px; font-size: 26pt; color: #bb8ec8 } h4 { text-align: center; color: #b15fb8 } Any idea why is isn't working? Cheers Hi, I have a style sheet which works fine on my mac, but not on my PC in IE7. I know how to substitute stle sheets based on browsers, but here's the issue at hand. I have 2 styles for the <ul> which follow: ul.nav{ clear:both; width:192px; padding: 0px; display: block; background-color:#000000; margin-top:-11px; margin-left:0px; float:left; } and ul.bodyText{ font-color:#000000 font-size:12px; font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif; } it appears that "ul.bodyText is taking on the characteristics of "ul.nav" Or, for some reason, the <ul><li>'s in my Mac look fine, but on my PC, they do not have the indent preceeded by the dot. Here's the site http://www.caillouette.com/NewestSelvan/English/aboutUs.php can anyone tell me why? thanks -Sean I got this WP style, and I edited it quite a bit. Code: #menu { clear: right; float: left; position: relative; padding:0 10px 0 10px; margin:0 0 0 34px; width: 160px; /* border-left: 1px solid #bbaf95; border-right: 1px solid #bbaf95; */ background: #fff rl(wp-images/bg.png) repeat-y 100% 0; } The problem being is that the image border does not reach the where the css borders were, and it does not stretch 100% to the bottom either. Even more, it takes three seconds to load from where it use to take less than one. Check it out: http://randomized.us Thanks in advance. |
