CSS - Background Image Errors In Ie6
Hi,
I'm getting two errors when I view my new theme but only in IE6. The first error is on long posts (Not pages) where the header and footer sections are slightly offset to the rest of the body. If I make the post shorter then the problem disappears. An example can be seen he Example The page look fine in FF 1.5.01 and Opera 8.51. The second issue is to do with the menu images on the top of every page. When I hover over the image (To select the page) the image turns black for a few moments and then returns almost immediately, whilst it doesn't effect the usability it doesn't look very good. I'm guessing it has something to do with the CSS and background images but am unclear what I should do. Any help or suggestions you can offer would be appreciated. TIA Phillip Similar TutorialsThe 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. In short, I'm trying to get this one image to tile down the page to the bottom, underneath a static background image. Basically, it's a 2pixel high image that's ready to tile vertically, just having a tough time getting it to work. You can clearly see the problem here, a gap at the bottom: http://www.groundedgroup.com/clients/NWR/ Here's the relevant css: http://www.groundedgroup.com/client...WR-GG/style.css I've googled and subsequently tried out some solutions, but no luck. Got any ideas? Thanks in advance. PS - Is there a way to keep the spiders from indexing my links above? The site is on a test server, so I don't want the url indexed. 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. 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. The live online link can be found at: www.markmcm.co.uk/test/test.html The CSS is as as follows: Code: /* * Page Stylesheet */ body { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #eaeaea; border:0; margin:0; padding:0; height: 100%; } a:link { text-decoration: none; } a:visited { text-decoration: none; } a:hover { text-decoration: none; } a:active { text-decoration: none; } #container { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; min-height: 100%; width: 936px; } * html #container { height: 100%; } #content { float:left; position: relative; height: 528px; width: 936px; z-index: 0; } .miniscreen1, .miniscreen2, .miniscreen3, .miniscreen4, .miniscreen5, .miniscreen6, .miniscreen7, .miniscreen8, .miniscreen9 { position: absolute; float: left; display: block; width: 312px; height: 176px; } .miniscreen1 { top: 0; left: 0; } .miniscreen2 { top:0; left: 312px; } .miniscreen3 { top: 0; left: 624px; } .miniscreen4 { left: 0; top:176px; } .miniscreen5 { left: 312px; top:176px; } .miniscreen6 { left: 624px; top:176px; } .miniscreen7 { left: 0; top:352px; } .miniscreen8 { left: 312px; top:352px; } .miniscreen9 { left: 624px; top:352px; } .info { height: 30px; top:3px; left: 40px; width: 265px; float: left; position: absolute; } .infobar { left:0px; position: absolute; top: 140px; width: 312px; height: 36px; outline: none; color:#000; background: url("data/infobar.png") no-repeat 0 0; z-index: 650; } .infobar:hover { background-position: 0 -36px; outline: none; color:#fff; } #infobar span { display: none; outline: none; } .clip_title { outline: none; font-size: 85%; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; } .clip_sub { outline: none; height: 13px; font-size: 80%; line-height: 13px; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; } And the HTML is: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Test Page</title> <meta name="description" content=" " /> <meta name="keywords" content=" " /> <meta name="generator" content=" " /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="page.css" media="screen" /> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <div id="content"> <span class="miniscreen1"> <a href="#"> <img src="img/clip1.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 1<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> <span class="miniscreen2"> <a href="#"><img src="img/clip2.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 2<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> <span class="miniscreen3"> <a href="#"><img src="img/clip3.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 3<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> <span class="miniscreen4"> <a href="#"><img src="img/clip4.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 4<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> <span class="miniscreen5"> <a href="#"><img src="img/clip5.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 5<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> <span class="miniscreen6"> <a href="#"><img src="img/clip6.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 6<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> <span class="miniscreen7"> <a href="#"><img src="img/clip7.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 7<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> <span class="miniscreen8"> <a href="#"><img src="img/clip8.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 8<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> <span class="miniscreen9"> <a href="#"><img src="img/clip9.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 9<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> </div> </div> </body> </html> There must be a better (and easier?) way to do this. Any help would be very-much appreciated - and save an old bloke from tearing too much of his hair out(!) 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? Code: div.top { border: 10px solid #CCCCCC; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding: 0px; background-image: url(menutile.jpg); } The code above yields this . It is uneven with the normal image, though both are the same size. I simply want to tile the bg image to the border even with the normal menu images. What am I doing wrong? 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 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! I want to use php to get images from a database and display them as css background-image attributes I know that the css Code: #id { background-image: url ('path/file'); } works (obviously) and the html Code: <img src='image-generator-script.php'> also works but the css Code: #id { background-image: url ('image-generator-script.php'); } doesn't work for me. It seems as though it should work. Why place such a seemingly arbitrary limitation on CSS as only being able to display images from existing files? I've done lots of searching through documentation and on forums, but not found anything conclusive either way. A couple of people have said it works. But it doesn't for me. Is there some extra configuration step I'm missing? Does anyone know for a fact that it works? -- so I can know for sure that somewhere I'm making a blunder in my code. But the code is simple, and I don't see where it could go wrong. (As is always the case!!) I can see the image in the browser just by pasting in the script link to the address bar. I know that url() specifiers are relative to the location of the stylesheet, not the html document, but in this case the html, the css, and the php are all in the same directory. I can't see what I could be doing wrong, so it really looks like you can't do it. But why?? And why isn't it mentioned in the documentation? (At least in the placers I've looked.) If you store all your images in a database, how on earth can you display any of them in CSS except by using a script in the url() specifier? I've seen plenty of tips about generating css files from php (I already do it), but that won't help in this case. All I can think of is to have php write the image data from the database into a temporary file, and put that file name into the url() specifier. But what a horrible kludge!! I will be very grateful to anyone who can give me solid facts on this question. Andrew Blake If I set the BG image in the css for the Header Div it of course will be the same BG image in the Header Div's on all pages. I am working on a website on which I want a different BG image in the Header Div on each page of the site. Just elinminating the BG image in the Header Div css will of course allow me to add different & individual photos in the Header of each page. But, that doesn't solve my problem. The image in the Header needs to be a BG image so that I can place text over the image. Any and all help would be appreciated. I'm wondering is is it possible to have a background-image for the <p>?? I tried this and nothing happen. The filepath for the image is correct. I saw at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/colors.html that this is possible. Code: p.pBullet1 { COLOR: #FFFF00; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #FF0000; BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url("image/ul_li_bullet.gif"); } So, what did I do wrong? THanks, FletchSOD Hi there, I have a background image defined in my style sheet, but it appears around 1 - 2px to the left more in FF than in IE 7. I have all margins set to 0px. Does anyone know what else could be causing this? Many thanks! Thanks for taking the time to read my question. I have a small logo that I would like to stay in the top and bottom corners of my page. Can I do that? Here is what I have so far Code: background-image: url('HelpImages/LandmarkBorder.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; background-position: top right; but this only gives me one image. I need something to show up in the top left, and both bottom corners. If this can't be done, can I have one image for the background and stretch it across the whole page? Thanks, Brad I'm having a lot of trouble with a background image that I want to cover my middle column. It fits perfectly in IE, but in FF, it repeats horizontally, so I put a repeat for only the y, and it's way too thin... Here's my code: Code: body { background-color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial; font-size: 11px; margin:0px 0px 0px 0px; height: 100%; } #header { background-color:#000000; height: 150px; } #leftbox { float:left; width:15%; font-color: black; background-image: url('/images/dkredblk.gif'); } #rightbox { float:right; width:16%; background-color:#000000; } #middlebox { margin-right:16.5%; margin-left:15.5%; margin-bottom: -18px; margin-top: -18px; font-color: brown; background-image: url('../images/membersbackground.gif'); background-repeat: repeat-y; } #footer { position: static; clear: both; background-size: 100%; background-color:#000000; color: red; } Now I've been told that you can't stretch background images in CSS at the moment, so how could I make this background image go in my middle column without repeating on teh x axis but repeating as far as the content needs on the y axis? My page is a fixed width - 960px and it displays centred on browsers with a wider viewport than that. My new footer contains an image and is also 960px wide, and I have faded versions of that footer image which I want to display to the left and right of the footer image to extend that picture across a complete viewport. Trouble is, I've no idea where to start on doing that! Say for example my visitor has a 1600x1200 resolution, I want to display my 960px content and leave about 320px of blank space each side, and when they scroll down to the footer have a tiled image for 320px, then my main footer image, then another 320px of tiles. Or something. HI, I have a main div for my page which I'm going to put background image for the whole page but the problem is when I write background-image in a style ,The image display below other divs and most of the part of the image does not show.how can I bring the image on the front? I hope it's clear. Thanks How do I put a background image on a div composed of a dropdown and textfield? I've done this but it does not work: <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="search.css" /> </head> <body> <div id="searchbar"> <select> <option value ="value1">Value 1</option> <option value ="value2">Value 2</option> </select> <input type="text" name="searchbar" size="30" /> # searchbar { background-image: url(images/searchbar.jpg); } Also, I want to have another div on the same line for my submit button. How do I do this if a div puts a line break after its content? Thank you. |
