CSS - Repeating Background Images In Firefox
For some reason repeating backgrounds won't repeat in Firefox unless I specify a height for the div.
They show up ok in IE. This will display: Code: #contentcontainer { background-image: url('images/layout/content_bg.png'); background-repeat: repeat-y; height: 350px; width: 785px; font-size: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-color: #fff; } This won't: Code: #contentcontainer { background-image: url('images/layout/content_bg.png'); background-repeat: repeat-y; width: 785px; font-size: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-color: #fff; } I need to find a way around this as my pages are varying lengths. Any ideas? Thanks, Beardy Similar Tutorials<body> <div id="wrapper" style=" vertical-align:middle;"> <div id="border-top"> <div id="border-left"> <div id="border-right"> <div id="border-bottom"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </body> body { background-color:#5E362C; margin: 0 0 0 0; } #wrapper { width: 828px; height: 558px; position:relative; left: 50%; margin-left:-414px; } #border-top { background-image: url(../Webdesign/MIRAGE services1_r2_c2.jpg); background-position:top left; background-repeat:no-repeat; width: 828px; height: 558px; } #border-left { background-image: url(../Webdesign/MIRAGE services1_r3_c2.jpg); background-position:top left; background-repeat:no-repeat; width: 828px; height: 558px; margin-top:20px; } #border-right { background-image: url(../Webdesign/MIRAGE services1_r3_c18.jpg); background-position:top right; background-repeat:repeat-y; width: 828px; height: 557px; margin-top:-20px; margin-bottom:20px; } #border-bottom { background-image: url(../Webdesign/MIRAGE services1_r10_c3.jpg); background-position:bottom right; background-repeat:no-repeat; width: 828px; height: 558px; margin-top:-1px; } Thanks for the help ! 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 Hi there. I'll try to explain this as clearly as I can: I have a site that needs these requirements - 3 column elastic layout with footer - left and right columns are static - center column is flexible to fill screen problem i am having is that the left and right columns ONLY need to have a repeating background (because of a required drop shadow in the design) on the y axis. Unfortunately I can't seem to get the left and right columns to assume the height of the content area, which also has to be elastic (so there's no fixed height either). Basically, the background images either don't show up, or only go as far down as "content" or based on a specific height (which is useless in this layout) Any suggestions or code samples would greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance , humanv3 Ok.. I couldn't find anything on this so figured i'd see if ya knew if either of these were possible using CSS (or any other mean): a) Can you set a background image to repeat a certain number of times? or b) Can you set a background image to repeat only if it will fit the entire image in the space that remains... (for example, I have a small image that I would like to just repeat 4 or 5 times, but dont want it to be cut off if it can only fit like 4 and a half of the images) Thanks. i have a background image and its all fine untill you have too much information on the page and then it repeats itself. i know the reason it does that is because the image has a certain height and that height has been reached. i was wondering is there a way around that? my background fades in to black and i just want the black to continue. here is an example of my problem. http://www.bleanphotos.co.uk/image.php?id=3 thanks for reading I've got a problem with a site I'm developing. I want to repeat-x a body background pattern, but the problem is that it overlays another version of itself just where my container div starts. Anyone know what's going on here?

Hello all - I am currently having a problem with a background image not being repeated properly. There are two images that need to be repeated, div#topbg and div#leftbg. Topbg is being repeated-x correctly, but I am having problem with Leftbg being repeated-y. The Leftbg will repeat vertically but stops repeating until it reaches the end of the background image of div#wrapper. Could someone provide a solution to this? I need it to repeat all the way down the page! Here is the code for those that know of a simple solution. For those that need to look a bit more into it I have included a zip file as attachment to show just exactly what is wrong.. Please help! The CSS code: Code: html, body { height: 100%; } body { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font : 12px/14px Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; text-align: left; } div#topbg { width: 100%; height: 145px; background : url(../images/top-bg.gif) repeat-x top left; } div#leftbg { position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; height: 100%; background : url(../images/left-bg.gif) repeat-y; } div#wrapper { position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 758px; height: 100%; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background: url(../images/bg.jpg) no-repeat top left; } div#container { padding: 145px 0px 0px 125px; } div#content { width: 100%; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; } The HTML code: Code: <body> <div id="topbg"></div> <div id="leftbg"></div> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="container"> <div id="text">content</div> </div> </div> Hi there, I'm trying to position a background image (starting 756 pixels from the left) which is repeating horizontally - but of course am running into problems because as soon as you repeat-x an image repeats the whole screen, not taking into account background positions. Does anyone have any ideas how I can possibly avoid this?! The only thing I can think of is to create a huge image to factor in for all screen solutions, and just not repeat it at all. I'd prefer not to do it this way as firstly it's not very clean, and secondly it will result in a large file size. Here is a link to the background image to show you what I'm talking about: http://joshsphotos.com/images/bg.jpg I've also put in the CSS that would show what I'm trying to achieve. Code: body { background-image: url(../images/bg_repeat.jpg); background-position: 756px 0px; background-repeat: repeat-x; } Any help would be most appreciated. I'm trying to get a background image/color to repeat down the left hand column of a site, he http:// www. lisaannschleipfer .com, but can't seem to get it working in either FF or IE. You'll notice that in the left hand column, the tannish color does not repeat all the way down the column. I'm fairly certain I've narrowed it down to the bit of CSS code he Code: div#wrapper { margin: auto; width:800px; background: #d1c8ab url(../images/wrapper_bg.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-y; } I've tried looking around the forum for some solutions, and have found a few possibilities (height: auto, overflow: auto, etc), but nothing that I have tried to insert into the stylesheet has seemed to work. Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions? I'd appreciate it! Here's the entire stylesheet, for reference: Code: html { height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0px; } form { margin: 0; padding: 0; } img,table { border:none; } table td { vertical-align:top; } body { font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;

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. Hi I have a table which i want to add 2 background images too. what i have is. one image with no-repeat at the top. Then for the rest of the table, i want to have a gradient background. Is this possible? K. I have my content bg which is to repeat, but I want to put like another background image set to the right in the content box. HTML Coding ************* <div id="special_feature_top"> <img src="images/specialfeatures.jpg" width="800" height="30" alt="" /> </div> <div id="special_feature_mid"> <img src="images/imagegalleryfeature.jpg" width="193" height="178" alt="Image Gallery" /> <img src="images/jointodayfeature.jpg" width="193" height="178" alt="Join Battle Glory Today!" /> <img src="images/forumsfeature.jpg" width="193" height="178" alt="Forums" /> </div> <div id="special_feature_btm"> <img src="images/specialfeatures_btm.jpg" width="800" height="30" alt="" /> </div> CSS Coding ************* #special_feature_mid { padding: 1px 0px 1px 10px; background-image: url('images/content_bg.jpg'); } That's the coding for the image now just with the content_bg. Now the other image I just want set to the background also so text can over lap or other images. It's a really nice opacity image that blends in perfect. I just want it in background also positioned to the right. thanks Matta Hi there, hopefully someone can help me out with some background image issues. I simply want a right hand section on my site, where i can fill it with content and it can expand appropriately as per the content and display a top, middle and bottom background image. this is because the style of the site has curved edges, so this will be a top image with the curves, a centre image and a bottom image with bottom curves. here is my code but none of the top or bottom background images show. please help, thanking you in advance. css: #feature { float:right; width: 287px; height: auto; } .featuretop { background-image:url(../images/css/featuretop.gif); background-position:top; background-repeat:no-repeat; } .featuremiddle { background-image:url(../images/css/feature.gif); background-position:center; background-repeat:repeat-y; } .featurebottom { background-image:url(../images/css/featurebottom.gif); background-position:bottom; background-repeat:no-repeat; } html code: <div id="feature"> <div class="marTOP10"> <div class="featuretop"></div> <div class="featuremiddle"></div> <div class="featurebottom"></div> </div> </div> Hello, as the subject states I have a question about whether IE can display a background image on a tr and a td correctly. I have a table row with a repeating background then in the first cell in that row I have another background image that goes in the top left corner with a transparent background color on the cell so that the tr background can show though. This works as it should in all browsers except IE where only the td background image appears and its transparent to the page background not the tr background. This is the css: Code: .professor_forum_row { background: #ffffff url(../images/author_post_background.jpg) repeat top left; } .professor_corner_tab { background: transparent url(../images/article_sticky_author.jpg) no-repeat top left; } the html is just a table with those classes assigned to the row and first td. Any ideas on why this is happening? Thanks, Ryan Hi Folks, I've designed an H1 page heading within a DIV with rounded ends. and HTML text inbetween. It should appear as a horizontally expanding and contracting capsule. I can make one end rounded with a CSS background image in the DIV or the H1 - but how can I do the other? No tables allowed here and it has to be done only in the stylesheet. I've tried a BG in the DIV and a BG in the H1 but they don't line-up, even when there's no padding or margins. Is it possible to somehow attach an image to one side of an element? Thanks John I have a site that will be relying heavily on background images sitting behind all the tables. These backgrounds will work in concert with the overall background-color: property. My question is this, on the style sheet, of which I would like to have ONE. Is there a way to change entire background-images for each page within the site. In another post, we went over how to change images within the same <div> by simply making the <div> a holder and swapping the image on each page by using something like: <div id="image" class="page_two"> Is there a way to do something similar using an entire background image? Or do I need a separate style sheet for each page? Perhaps the main style sheet which has a body like this body { margin:0px; } and then attach an additional style sheet to each page that supersedes the body tag in the main sheet? I hope I am making sense... thanks jon Hello, I'm new to Dev Shed, I hope I won't seem like a fool here Is there any way to have to background images? I mean, I want to have a heading background image, and a footer background image to the same table. longing to your replies>>>> Is there some way to rig CSS to display 2 separate background images. I wanted to put the 2 images on opposite sides. I tried, but both IE 6 and Firefox 1.0.2 displayed only 1 bg image. Anyone got a suggestion? Edit - Oh yeah...this is for the BODY tag. I thought I ought to mention that. Hello Community, I'll get cracking with my code and explain all below. My CSS; Code: html, body { height:100%; margin:0; padding:0; font-family:'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; background:url(../_images/stretch_header.jpg) repeat-x top left; } body { text-align:center; font-family:'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; background:url(../_images/stretch_header.jpg) repeat-x top left; } #outer { min-height:100%; height:auto; width:987px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; position:relative; text-align:left; background:url(../_images/stretch_body.jpg) repeat-y top left; } * html #outer { height:100%; width:987px; w\idth:987px; background:url(../_images/stretch_body.jpg) repeat-y top left; } #contentContainer { width:100%; overflow:auto; } #headerContainer { margin:0px auto; width:987px; height:117px; background:url(../_images/stretch_header.jpg) repeat-x top left; } #centerContent { width:735px; float:right; padding:10px 10px 15px 10px; } #footerContainer { position:absolute; bottom:0; left:0; width:100%; height:61px; text-align:center; background:url(../_images/stretch_footer.jpg) repeat-x top left; } #footer { width:987px; height:61px; background:url(../_images/footer.jpg) no-repeat top left; } #clearfooter { clear:both; height:61px; width:100%; } My HTML; Code: <body> <div id="outer"> <div id="contentContainer"> <div id="headerContainer"></div> <div id="centerContent">a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br></div> <div id="clearfooter"></div> </div> <div id="footerContainer"> <div id="footer"></div> </div> </div> </body> At the moment you will be able to see that this layout is a 1 column, centered layout. As it stands it works very well. However what I am trying to accomplish now is causing problems. You can see from my CSS that I have 3 Background Images (stretch_header, stretch_body, stretch_footer). These are to stretch 100% of the browser, width, height, width respectively. The problem I have is that I only have enough elements present to use 2 of these backgrounds. stretch_header - put on the body/html works perfectly 100% width. stretch_body - put on the "outer" div works perfectly 100% height. This means I don't have another 100% width div to put the stretch_footer on. Every time I try to include a new div, using "position" or "float" cause various div to remove themselves from the document flow, and cause errors. The reason for the excess "a<br>" is to force the document out of the workspace and make sure it still retains it's rigidity when combined with content. So basically i'm asking how can I include another div to include the footer background 100% width. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
