CSS - Not Enough Text To Fully Display Background Image In A Div...
Hi All,
Here's my issue... I have decided to try an all css-based layout which will incorporate: 1. a background image (770px wide) that repeats on the y axis in the BODY tag 2. a background image that will not repeat in a DIV tag that is slightly less wide (750px) than the BODY tag's background image The background image in the BODY will repeat on the y axis and provide a backdrop and edges that extend beyond and below the background image contained in the DIV tag which will also contain the main content/text for the site. [ Note: The background-image in the DIV tag is 631px in height. ] The problem is as follows: Since I do not have enough text to extend the content DIV to the height of the background image and/or beyond, the background image is not being fully displayed; the top and bottom of the background image is being cut off and the image as a whole is being pushed upward at the same time. To see the problem: http://publictrust.ca/css/default.htm The css is as follows: body { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #260D0D; font-size: 0.8em; background-color: #260D0D; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-image: url(../images/body-bg.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-y; background-position: center center; } #divHeader { margin: 0px; width: 750px; color: #260D0D; } #divMain { background-color: #EDCCA1; background-image: url(../images/container-bg.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center center; width: 750px; color: #260D0D; } #divFooter { text-align: center; font-size: 0.7em; margin: 25px 0 0 0; } #divHeader, #divMain, #divFooter { width:750px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; color: #260D0D; } #leftMenu { float:left; margin:130px 0 0 5px; padding: 0px; width:150px; } #divMainContent { float:right; width:500px; margin: 150px 5px 50px 5px; border-top: 1px solid #260D0D; } The css file can be downloaded at: http://publictrust.ca/css/css/template_css2.css Caveat: the solution must work in IE and mozilla/netscape AND when I add more text to the main content area, the DIV must stretch downwards to accommodate the extra text *without* changing the height of the divHeader & divFooter. Thanks in Advance, mne Similar TutorialsHello, I'm having a problem that I can't seem to fix - and I've been at it for two days now, I think it's time for an outsider's point of view. First of all, I've googled and researched to no end about this - and others have had the same problem as me, but for some reason nothing that's been suggested has fixed it. With any luck it's just some stupid typo I'm missing or something . I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 to make a site, but I'm not using the WYSIWYG editor, I'm just using that to see what it looks like as a quick-view during development, and uploading it via FTP to the server to see a more accurate representation of it (basically, the code isn't written by DW). Here's the problem. In DW, the "background-image" tag in the CSS file is displaying all of the images perfectly, but when I upload the site - the images simply don't appear, but if you resize your browser window you can tell by the way the scrollbars are behaving that it is holding places for the images. I've tried everything I can think of, including using the "overflow" tag, trying different ways of writing the file paths (absolute vs. relative), and I've looked through every line of the code over and over again. CSS file: Code: @charset "utf-8";

You win many internets of love for your help. Hello. Can someone please help me understand why this page looks fine in IE7 and Firefox, but not in IE6: http://www.shootingblanks.net/TEMP/Nevermind/bio.php You can see that the background image is completely cut off on the left in IE6, and I'm not understanding why. Here's the CSS code for that div: Code: #bioContent {
background: url(../images/bkgnds/bio.jpg) no-repeat top left;
width: 140px;
min-height: 550px;
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
Also, there's one other page on the same site that's also behaving oddly only in IE6. The picture is not on the bottom-right like it should be, and it's getting cut off: http://www.shootingblanks.net/TEMP/Nevermind/news.php Here is the code for that div, if anyone has suggestions on that one too. Thanks!!!: Code: #newsContent {
background: url(../images/bkgnds/news.jpg) no-repeat bottom right;
min-height: 400px;
text-align: left;
}

I've tried to change the brackets to forward brackets, tried to and ", but nothing works, im sure the spelling etc is correct... any help would be great Kind regards MG I am wanting to display an image as a background. However that isn't working for me. So can someone please help me solve this problem? Thanks in advance. This is the css code that I am working with: Code:

This is the link for that css code which is the htm file: Code: <link href="/images/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> Hi. Really hoping someone can help me with this... I'll try and explain this as best I can(!) Basically I've got a page containing a block of 9 images, with each linking to a video clip. At the moment I've got the CSS coded so that whenever the mouse is hovered over the 'infobar' (at the bottom of each image) it goes from having a transparent background with black text to having a grey background with white text. What I'm trying to achieve is that same effect whenever the mouse is hovered over any part of the image and infobar.

Any help would be very-much appreciated - and save an old bloke from tearing too much of his hair out(!) Hi everyone, I'm experiencing an unusual problem that I could use some help with. I've a layout that uses three background images (in separate divs) - a top bg, a bottom bg, and an overall bg. The bottom and overall background images are causing a problem. The top bg and bottom bg are supposed to line up. And they do! My layout looked fine on my computer (PC using Firefox 3.5.7 and IE8). I uploaded it to my personal website - and it looked fine there also. I validated the code successfully. The problem happened when I uploaded it to my client's web server. The top bg displayed ok. However, the overall and bottom background images did not display correctly. They seemed "squeezed". The overall should be center and extend to both ends of the browser window (the image is large enough). I can't seem to identify why it would do this. I even did a test by removing all of the code except for the div containing the background image. I added another div and placed the image directly into it (so that I could compare the size). Here's the css: Code: html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: #CCC;
}
#botDrop {
/* margin: auto;
*/ background: url('../images/bgDropBot.jpg') no-repeat left top;
/* width: 971px;
height: 50px;
*/ background-color: #CCC;
}
Again, looked fine on my computer, looked fine on my web server - displayed incorrectly on the client's server. On the client's server it again displayed (horizontally) smaller than it's actual size. My background image was initially about 1200 pixels wide. I reduced it, and that seemed to make it a little better, but didn't quite fix the issue. I suspect there's some sort of calculation going on depending on the screen size. However, I don't get why it doesn't do that for me when I view it locally or on my personal web server. Here's a screenshot showing the problem: http://www.stephencamper.com/screenshot/screenshot.jpg I just want the background image to display at it's actual size. Any help's appreciated. Thanks. -Stephen Is there a fix? An important part of my design is the background image. I have tried many different things but cannot seem to solve this. I have two options: Option 1: One placing the image in a tag within the body. Results where pretty good except in IE 6 the content is displayed under the image. You can see the effect of option 1 on this portion of the site: http://woodysfireworks.nl/w/index.html example Code:
/*option1 background image*/
img.bg {
background-color:#000;
/* Set rules to fill background */
min-height: 100%;
min-width: 1024px;
/* Set up proportionate scaling */
width: 100%;
height: auto;
overflow:hidden;
/* Set up positioning */
position: fixed;
z-index:0;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
@media screen and (max-width: 1024px){
img.bg {
left: 50%;
margin-left: -512px; }
}
Option2: I placed the image in the style sheet and then included a class and id in the tag. Here the images get blown up in all version of IE. example Code:
/*option 2 background image*/
#start{ background:url(images2/426.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='.myBackground.jpg', sizingMethod='scale');
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='myBackground.jpg', sizingMethod='scale')";}
I would really appreciate some insight. I am pulling my hair out. Thanks Okay the backgroundimage "content-header" does not display in firefox for the <div id="contentWrapper"> tag. In internet explorer it displays. Not sure what the hell is going on with it. I hate css http://www.mgan.net/work/10-06-04/layout1.html There is the link, I have my styles in the header section of the html file. I have a gradient background image that goes from dark to light. At the bottom of the table if the body of text grows too large the table will stretch past the length of the background gradient image exposing the bgcolor for the page (not acceptable). If I change the bgcolor of the table the color is applied over the background image. Isn't there a way to fix this with CSS? Thanks for any help!!! Hi I am redesigning my blog and took it down completely. I want to place the day's text post on the day's photo post on top of the latter, while graying out the photo. Is that possible without using flash? I am trying to put labels below images on my new site design. See: www.jwsuretybonds*com/jw09 I figured out how to get them vertically aligned, but I am having problems with the horizontal, as when I change the browser size, they move. Here is one of the examples: Code:
#homepage-bar h2.construction {
position:fixed;
top:225px;
left:505px;
}
I tried changing to position: absolute; I also tried to use percentages on the left: I know this is easy, but I can't find the fix after googling for 30 minutes. Help! Here's the issue... When the site loads, you'll see the h3 text for a second (on the right), then it gets covered up by the side boxes. I've tried using z-index for my h3 tags so they "hover" over the side boxes, but to no avail. Here's the link: http://www.infothreads.com/ Oddly, all the links show up above the side boxes, but not the h3 text. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. I am making this table area and I want the table to have a image as a background to give it more of a nice detail to it but I can't figure out how to get it to work for the table. Thank you. I took over a website from a graphic designer. Needless to say, everything including all the text was a graphic. Now having said that I have an about page that is just that. I have taken that graphic and yes I know I should probably break it up but. So what I have done is take all or almost all of the text off of the graphic, the problem is, the customer can't change the text on their about page because of it being a graphic. Now I can set the graphic as a background image or a single image on a page. And what I need to do is float text over the image. Here is the image And here is the new image So how would I do the same with the text only using real text? Right now I have the image in a table and the text right justified. I'm sure there is a better way. I want to display a byline in front of my logo. The byline is text, and the logo is an image (not a background image). Here is the existing code where I have inserted the new block element 'byline' in the HTML and CSS. The logo img is aligned in the center (align=center), and the byline is to sit on top of that logo slightly to the left of center of the logo image. All code and CSS is currently validated.

Hi, I am making a site and it is important the text is always positioned over the background image in the same place. I have managed to do this. When I zoom out the text stays in the correct position however when I zoom in (as if I am looking on a smaller screen) the text re positions to the edge of the browser. How can I keep the text in the same position on all monitors? Here is what I have so far (I am very new to css): #content { text-align: left; width: 1060px; padding: 0px 30px 0px 30px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } Thanks Cameron When a user has the text display options set to big, the text gets out of the box. Does anybody have an idea to fix this or any alternative I can use so that this doesnt happen? I know its not the best design or css implementation but its my first css website: http://aplistia.com/unitedTours/UnitedTours.php (look at the white box surrounding the links: home, reserve, contact etc in the left side of the website.) the css is he http://aplistia.com/unitedTours/booksite.css |
